Is the ''magic'' behind unique items (and part of PoE) death because the tier changes?

In this thread I will talk about the drop changes in tiers and what this has meant for us like players and for something so important in the game as is the market. Sorry for potatoenglish.

Some days ago I was talking with a newbie mate about my old Magic Finder and I told him, honest and a bit sad, now is half-useless, because still works for orbs and cards due to the good quantity (150~), but the rarity (380~) is now just worthless because find a very good rare item is almost impossible, and uniques are not valuable anymore, the 99% are PURE trash/vendor, except 2 or 3 uniques highly valued in market the feeling when drops an unique item no longer exists, those three seconds of contained breath, that magic in the air... is something that, from a certain patch, without notice by the notes, GGG removed from PoE and from our hearts (but NEVER from our minds). Edit: I'm not counting Uber drops because are inside an independant system.

Is obvious, the main problem was the tier ''nerf'' change that made the offer of fat uniques too high compared with the demand in a game with a solid base, but NOT enough big for assimilate this change without having serious consequences on the market.

This game is about grinding with time and currency/items, not about find the rarer items fast and easy, so why GGG?, is not the solid market a pillar of PoE?, are not the ''great'' unique items part of the magic of PoE?

Possible answers:

• ''New players finds PoE hard, and they need help with items, good done GGG''.

That's false. Im here since early 2013 and 50% of my friends came after or in Atziri patch when the market was very well defined and solid, and all were really excited with the PoE unique drop system, I just heard ''the drop is shit'' from a few newbie criers, but those few guys cannot change a whole great system, right GGG?. RIGHT GGG?

• ''Uniques are worse and worse with the time'', ''old fat items like Shav's are not good anymore and that's the reason of the actual price''.

I don't think so, Low Life Shavronne's is the #1 mage yet, why the rares are not important in almost all builds except weapons (commonly insane DPS)?, uniques are still the dominators here, even if the price of them now is CRAP.

Maybe the unique exception here is The Bringer of Rain, destroyed by a very bad balance from GGG.

FINAL NOTE: I don't have 5 Shavronne's for sale, just got a sigle one for my MF. I have not devalued items for sale, only rares, talismans and some legacy shit, so I'm not here for cry about my self interest, I was just one of those guys making infinite rounds in Dominus for find a single and awesome T2-T1 with an eye in the old & sick tradechat, saving exalteds day by day for pay a lot for my beloved target, and worth it FFS. Now I really love poe.trade (is perfect for new and old players) and I don't miss the Dominus rounds, I was not a lucky guy... the only thing that I really miss of those times is the hard drop chance of higher tiers.

I wish GGG could be interested in make a poll in forum for check what the player thinks about this...

Please, argue the downvote and thanks for read my little wall of love & hate in PoE.
