Playing since 2012 (10 year account anniversary to the day, actually) and gotta say the golden era of PoE seems to have passed. I am really disappointed with the direction you lot have taken with the game these past 2 leagues. It genuinely feels like I'm watching my favorite pass-time die off. I hope I'm very wrong and that the game finds a way to turn it around in the future.

I can relate to that, It's been about 9 and a half years i played and seen so many changes. Some good, some, not so good. The worst i think is the actual lagging of the game. Normally, i would put up with it, as it would eventually sort itself out, but the last few months, it's been quite bad

C'mon GGG, we know you can do better

ok bye ggg i have like 10k hours maybe more play in path of exile i have start synthesis league and have play all league after i supported you with my money but now stop i m so sad this looks like the end of your game ! WHY nerf loots ? rare monster etc... ! this is the foundation of the game if you destroy it you know what's gonna happen.. please stop be crazy

Disappointed. Waste of my vacation i took off for this launch.

now i dont have any purpose on playing this league after knowing recent changes for loot drop. whats the different between me mapping a juiced map and not, maybe there is but is it really enough ??

maybe you have to re-think ur decision bout the loot drop..
at least that whats make me excited to play the game, seeing big loot drop

I love how people spent years complaining about screens of loot and now they fixed it, the world is ended.

Because this is obviously not what those people wanted instead.

What..
No, you don't get to change the goalposts after it's done.

There is a difference, they can make alts and other things more accessible early on but that's a different issue.

you are clearly confused or making an incorrect assumption.

when some says "I want less crap to drop" they don't mean "I want a few crap items to drop instead of dozens of crap items".


What this game is now is the rarity of drops from Hard Mode without any of the buffed itemization that made most drops no crap. oh, and no one chose this half implemented hard mode either, which like SSF, is way better when its optional.

"Death made real."

This. This says it all. I am not sure why you would kill the thing that has made you popular to date amongst games in your genre. It's fun being able to get a build that can blow up a map with the right investment. If I wanted to do more difficult bosses I could build for that as well.

I don't mind difficulty if rewards are in line, but what you have provided in this patch is anything but fun or rewarding.

Look at your tags and tell me again if it was free.
F2P is the most profitable business model at the moment and they choose it themselves, the game was mostly funded by players. Chris did not take bazillions out of his pocket to fund the game. Also he sold it out to tencent already so it's basically not his game anymore, he's just in charge of it.

I hate this F2P excuse for another reason, even as free players you're still advertising this game, by boosting player numbers, economy and overall feel of success of the game.

Even back in 2012 it was not Chris game, but community funded project which could go nowhere without players support and I think community has their right to demand changes that Chris himself cannot see fit.

There's a big problem with his ego, he just can't stop talking about Diablo 2 and good ol' days, it's some neverending boner for this game, but we don't want or care about D2, we want to play PoE and what made it great. Fast combat, big loot explosions, screen freezing skills that drop you down to 10fps and have you praying that you're not dead. The prime of this game is long gone and I don't even know what direction it's going now but I'm one of hundreds if not thousands who can't enjoy it.
