Artificial waste of time

Last time I checked, the whole purpose of a video game is to "artificially waste your time". So now we're complaining about the waste of time wasting your time? Sure thing. Sure, there are some (more than) welcomed QoL changes that "need" to be implemented, but if you find re-casting your auras after death to a huge problem, I think maybe you're dying too often.
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

We all have our own motivations but i am playing video games to have fun. And i honestly think most people do. If i just want to waste time i could watch the grass grow or something like that. Why would i pay money to play a boring/unfun video game?

Yeah, why did you? ^^
There must be something to this game that you actually bought at least 2 supporter packs... or were the grass-growing-supporter-packs sold out? ^^

Ah, another member of the binary world where everything is either black or white.
Is it so difficult to comprehend that this game had enough fun aspects to it at some point to justify playing and even supporting it?
It's not like the artificial time waste is something only POE has and that was only added recently. It's always been there to some extent, and that's fine.

It's just getting more and more out of hand and it has surpassed my tolerance level by now. There is still a lot of things i enjoy doing in this game, but going through all the chores to get there prevents me from doing them.

Sadly, at this point i am not even sure anymore whether this is sarcasm or not. Would explain a lot if it wasn't though..

No one forces you to pay money.

Oh but they do. Playing poe without all those stash tabs magnifies above-mentioned non-gameplay click chores, which is actually a cunning way to make "free to play" game where every player still has to pay bare minimum of real money.

Now with the help of a specific discord-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, you can sell stuff without premium tabs (and is a superior QoL method actually), but still, cannot imagine racers and gitgud players make do without at least currency tab, map tab, and fragments tab.
As a new player with nothing, yes, if you spend some money you will have infinite better time. But as someone who played PoE for long time you already have those and no one forces you to pay money to keep playing. Which is the case for this guy.

Hah!

I guess you'll never know.

Light up. Smile a bit, Sir. And most importantly; have a nice day :)

1. Every time you die all you auras are switched off, thus making you click, click, click - stupidiest waste of time ever from nothing. Like, ok my character have died, I lost experience - it is bad. Why I need to manually activate all my skills reserving mana/life. Just why?


Actually, you've already answered the question yourself: Point 1 says it all!!!
I also know many other very negative points. but that says it all.... [Removed by Support] hence the worst balance (has nothing to do with balance) and the embarrassing text on the website even says nonsense like "with Wisp, mobs might become immortal and kill you instantly"........ good joke! But if they're not able to use tools like Excel and calculate primitive things there, then they can't do anything else...

and actually they could have left out these little mini baby patches (here probably as super epic league content). Worthy content hasn't been around for a very long time.
Tencent also bought Warframe. and check their updates every few months! people actually work there! And there it's not about a second job, but a few hours a week and you quickly clear the content and don't get frustrated like in Poe after playing. I have maxed all the items there and play more than causal on the weekend.
