What does the number of league challenges completed have to do with having an opinion about a game you like playing?

Half the people I met in Sentinel that had 35+ challenges spent the first two weeks of the league running currency bots.
When players can't be bothered to pursue the challenges or get them naturally through playing, that's not because of players, that's entirely league design choices or challenge design choice.
Sentinel was one of the worst designed challenge system requiring multiple Atlas respecs of buying challenges. Neither is organic or good design.

tell that to majority of all streamers that they themselves are totally disappointed.

This is far the worst reaction the game has ever received.
Instead of pleasing the game community because PoE2 is coming and blizzard diablo4 is coming too this 2023 not to mention diablo immortal earning 1m$ per day.


They are pissing their own playerbase instead, this game company has a poor marketing strategy that i wont be even wonder if diablo4 has more playerbase even though its paytoplay compare to poe2 which is free2play but i guarantee you diablo4 will have more playerbase.

They fuckedup way to big this time.

Goodluck to their playerbase and PoE2

One word: Reeeeeee!

Maybe there's an hidden reason behind this, I can't expect to know the real intents.

this is what triggered GGG against necros:

so beautiful...
however I doubt a 2019 video triggered a nerf in 2022

I indeed wonder why they tried to fix necros...

maybe has something to do with this.

If I ask GGG to buff things so I could beat the game, then my "victory" would be meaningless.

If there are thousand of players who beat the game in SSF and SSFHC using a variety of builds, the game is fine.

I like having this sense of challenge to overcome, and I like admiring players who overcome these challenges in such difficult settings.

If they'd make the game easier, all of that would be gone.

EDIT: I know the game since the end of beta I think so 2k hours (with a good few hundreds afk) doesn't mean that much, but it's still a bit.

No it's not fine.
There's way too much content gated behind way too much crap.
All that crap requires you playing as a job AND getting a PhD in game, league and trade mechanics to get it done.
That's just not fun.

The next league after this video was posted, GGG started nerfing necros and has been doing it consistently almost every league even since.
