Noticed how Ben was streaming Helldivers 2 instead of Last Epoch this past week? Well, why would he promote the main PoE competition, when he was getting 10k+ twitch views from PoE latest Gauntlet? Exactly, which is why rest of the established PoE streamers that may have been experiencing declining viewership and "revenue" are more inclined to gain popularity elsewhere, and Last Epoch is the perfect game for that

what a weird nonsense logic. Why shouldn't he be free to play other game genres aside of arpgs especially after the many hours of the gauntlet grind?
But I mean unlike LA Helldivers 2 has been out since a few weeks without any early access memes, so no shame to play that instead of a unfinished and unpolished game that just got fully released today lol

You don‘t get it Pashid. Everything is a conspiracy these days hoho

Still waiting on his participation in Gauntlet.

He's already the #1 armchair racer why would he need to participate in the 'rigged' competition hoho

you have to chose one bro

This was a truly wonderful discussion to read tonight lol. I think I can honestly say, without hyperbole, that there are two players in this thread that win the prize for literal craziest PoE forum-ers ever to have graced this site.

How you can watch these videos, know his history, compare him to all the OTHER videos we all have access to......and continue to blame the tinfoil hat "GGG invisible hand" or "luck" is absolutely astounding. Beyond head buried in the sand, this is "head buried in the sand, with lead poisoning, removed ears, removed eyes, and amnesia".

And then the periodic essays about how great you are, but with no actual stats, and wanting only to REMOVE the best competition from any event you'd want to participate in, while again blaming the GAME.....just truly frightening thoughts.

Kudos to those of you with the patience to not just straight up lose your...while responding for 9 pages.



Favorite moment: "Stop derailing this thread!" -------> "this is MY thread"

Just a quick response to what was stated above. Nowhere in this thread I'm stating that I want to "remove" Ben from competing in the Gauntlet or any future events, and nowhere in this thread I'm discussing how "great" I am.

When it comes to my "history" or as the poster stated "my actual stats", well it goes way back, which is why those newer to the game may not be familiar with it, but then again I also don't care who thinks what about me.

Bens "dominance" in the Gauntlet is a result from both the type of event with its rules as well as what the game has become over the last several years. Finally, Ben has gone to great lengths to get "better" at "competing", which is why it will be important for GGG (alongside other event organizers) to allow players to have more options/choices/freedom to "separate" from rest of the competition, because in the end its the "community" that makes the game what it is, and why these events exist in the first place.

not taking the bait, sorry.
