Philosophy Three: There shouldn't be a large gap between the difficulty and rewards of league content and base game content

Spoiler

Monsters added in leagues are more difficult to kill and drop better items than regular ones encountered in the base game. When those leagues become core, these properties carry across, creating two tiers of content, with one far more rewarding than the other.

We feel it's good for league content to be harder than the base game, and therefore more rewarding. But the difference should be approximately twice as rewarding. If the gap were any larger, then it would be less efficient to kill regular monsters and a player should spend all of their time focusing on repeating a small subset of content.

With those philosophies established, let's have a look at some changes we made in 3.19, and then examine what went wrong and what we're doing to address it in the future.

I am sincerely suprised to read this, because it's incredibly apparent that this is not even remotely close to what the game is.
The worst offender to this philosophy is obviously metamorph.
The monsters jumping out of there are a death sentence for anything that is not a meta-build and even those struggle to kill a lot of the time.
The rewards are less than what you would get from simply running another map, even with the reduced drops.
You have a "higher risk rewards less loot" situation with a lot of the current content.
And I just can't get over this "Victory is its own reward" taunt. It makes all of the current imbalance feel VERY intentional.

I'd like to point out that the atlas passive tree is a mechanic that specifically allows you to repeat the same content over and over. It's called grinding. The name of your company implies that you understand that and that it's something people enjoy IF the grind is rewarding. And only if that grind is rewarding. Just to be clear, I mean loot. Good loot.

People will now learn to run past everything, just as they run past mobs during campaign, and chase the loot goblin.

Run past league content, regular content, just search the one rewarding solaris-touched mob and skip everything else if you gear magic find.

You have my full support! I understand people's fuckups. The stress/workload around leaguestarts surely doesn't help. I am very patient and for every major issue that arises you guys get things back on track consistently quickly. I have had fun every day of league as usual. I can't thank you enough for all this excitement over the years and every year to come! Thank you for making me care about beyond for once as Scourge was(next to Delve/Synthesis) my favorite league. Endless love to you all

Reading comments here during the last few days makes me sad because it shows how toxic the PoE community has become. So many people are acting like spoiled little kids throwing a tantrum because their mommy didn't buy them that ice cream that they wanted.
If you are constantly posting "I'm never playing this game again" etc etc without any sort of constructive criticism then please you stay true to your word and f off. The community neither needs you or wants you.

Then POE 2.0 be like:

Player: Oh shxt, there are a rare monster have cold resistance, let me change all my gear to fire attack first.

Excuses on top of Excuses. Worse takes ever. Game droping less loot than Diablo 3 ffs.Cant craft/change anything bc of no currency. And 90% of drops are whetstones and armorscrap -you can choke on this amazing loot drops.

Now we stuck with this version for the rest of our lives..FFS

Stop forsing ppls to changes that no one wants.

DOWN FALL STARTED FROM ULTIMATIUM AND IT CONTINUES..

KIRAC annoucment IN THIS TIME is an Insult.

not good i play alone the drops rate now omg really really bad
