Me No Have Fun In League

So what if its "same as always"?
Same as always is not good enough. The game is specifically set up for this huge gap to exist between a mid player and someone who plays religiously. By all means there should be tangible difference between the two but not 90% of everything for 10% of players as it currently stands. Game payouts per time invested should be linear and not exponential.

Then your problem is with PoE in general, not the current league mechanic which is what OP was complaining about.

Fuck this game, honestly. Can't wait for Path of Exile 2.

What do you think is more likely?

A) Over the past several leagues, they have been shaping PoE 1 to resemble what PoE 2 will look like.

B) PoE 2 will head in the opposite direction that PoE 1 has been heading over the past several leagues.

I know what I think. What say you?

why make a new game if its just going to be the same? the smart move would be to try and attract a different group of people, this game is for people who play all day long,poe2 should be more for casuals. if poe2 is another grindfest then why would people who hate that even try poe2? they would just keep playing poe1

Thing is, can you buy gold for divines?

Yes although it's a bit roundabout. You buy gear for a very fast build and farm juiced T17s, then you'll be rich in no time.

Well, when you talk about this company the term "smart" should be used sparingly. Smarts are not what drives game companies these days, it's money. And for whatever reason, most game companies believe that forcing players to play longer through unwanted grinding and time sinks is the answer to increased revenue.

I believe PoE 2 will be slower, grindier, and focused on being the "Dark Souls" of the AARPG world. I think the base game will fall somewhere between Hard Core and Ruthless.

And forget any semblance of balance, it's not gonna happen unless they use some kind of Diablo model (which isn't perfect but it's better balance-wise). They've had over a decade to balance skills and classes in PoE 1 and it's only gotten less balanced. Just think of all the countless, unusable skills there are because they refuse to buff them. It's mind-boggling to me.

Hey, I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it. I think PoE 1 is headed in the exact direction where they want PoE 2 to be.
