I wish I could feel bad for people that constantly fall for the hype build they do every 3 months.. after a while it gets old specially after the last 2 leagues.

Better start reading the room in general dev's and not your favourite kids (streamers) and start making better decisions.

But who I'm kidding I'm willing to predict that you will go back to your usual practices and decisions on 3.17.

Game is still great, 3.15 has been an awesome league. I feel bad for the ones who call themselves PoE fans yet don't enjoy it. You want to talk about reading the room? Fine, how about reading the target audience of the game and not what the "fanbase" has become over the past two years. The game got more popular, sure, but it wasn't better. It was a different game than the one the developers wanted to make and they should be free to make the game they want without people demanding they change their views. It's a game, and not the only game out there, so people who don't like it need to go elsewhere and not just threaten loudly to go elsewhere while staying here to complain.

Now, that being said, game has its issues and I wouldn't pretend to think otherwise. The majority of issues I feel have been acknowledged and at this point it's time to let them deliver what solutions they come up with. Over the past three podcasts I heard a lot of repeat questions which as a viewer felt really bad to watch because we were already given an answer and they're having to repeat themselves instead of covering other topics.

I'd also like to add that as players we can be great at finding a problem that needs fixing, but without knowing what systems are being planned for the future (and we shouldn't be privy to that information either), we don't know what issues will become non-issues, or vice versa. So until we see how GGG wants to address issues like defenses, flasks, ailments, curses, etc. with the context of what they know they have planned further down the pipe, and we actually play with it for a reasonable amount of time, we really can't know what current problems will remain problems.

The community at large has been heard on several important topics, now its time to wait and see what they present us with. And if we can't do that without being cynical and making snide comments about the company, its employees, or other fans, then we don't deserve to have a product from them at all.
