" These two factors, especially, is really sad to see. Really, really wish they didn't push gambling boxes, it's something I associate with the bottom dwellers of the gaming industry, like Evil Arts :-( The balance is way off, and even more so this league with the mastermind and syndicates. It's truly baffling to me how this stuff went through testing and into the live game without enough people saying "hold on, something ain't quite right with this..." Sure, for all I know every single tester said this and GGG ignored it. But whatever happened, the end product is not where it ought to be. I've opined this before, but Ḯ'm concerned about the direction the game is heading in -- and I've not been around all that long. |

Hehehe, I'm afraid I'm not (a girl), what was that Vagan the Weapons master (not the Betrayal one) used to say:

" Lets all be honest here and come to terms with the fact that EVERY single game out there that is free, in regards to the initial cost to play, has to obtain money from somewhere. GGG Uses supporter packs (Which you are clearly fond of, as a lot of people are ((me))).... Why not then use the RNG loot box scheme. Game dev's can't release the next big thing (4.0) unless they have money. How do companies generate revenue while simultaneously having a tidal wave of expenditures crashing in on them? People buy the RNG lootboxes so CLEARLY if its making them more money then good on them. As long as it remains a "hey look im pretty" loot box instead of a "Hey look im better at all aspects of the game because my pay to win item is the best" then im happy. Unlike their game, they can't grind money by opening chests or killing things and having money drop. Instead they grind our wallets. Welcome to the world of producers and consumers. |

" Not everyone measures themselves through others, you know. A lot of people have never - and will never - play this game competitive. Not even a little bit. Chase? Improvement has always been my chase. Improvement in skills, knowledge and gear. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Sure, lets deny the most basic human psychology. Improvement in skills again doesn't work if there is no carrot on the stick. There's a world of difference in being motivated to improve between "I can kill Shaper" and "I can kill Shaper in 10 seconds now instead of my previous 11 seconds". " We know that and there are other very effective ways to monetize without lootboxes. Lootboxes tell the story of how little they care or how bad do developers think of their playerbase. Obviously Path of Exile's fan base is full of apologetic fanatics and is easily abused. That's JUST how it is!
