Overall Game Perfomance state - and why GGG is in silenced mode about it?

The worst thing about PoE's performance, isn't that the game runs bad on a lot of different hardware. I can understand that the amount of calculations, visuals and shit happening on the screen is close to unprecedented in the gaming scene. But the worst thing, is that PoE's performance is declining. It's getting worse, league after league.
Sure, some might say that we have no right to be critical if we're not running a 4090, as if PoE is the only game in the world requiring a 4090 to get a close-to-decent experience - even at 1440p. But that can't be the "bar" here. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

"I'd argue even that is highly subjective and varies between configurations. | |

" The damage calculation argument is misleading nonsense. It could fool the clueless and uninformed, but it's insignificant for those with a basic grasp of computing. Back in the days of early computing, running on a 90MHz CPUs, such arguments could maybe be arguable, however, suggesting that modern CPUs should struggle with basic calculations is absurd. It's a red herring that deflects from addressing optimization issues. Cyberpunk is also a visually stunning game while Path of Exile is very simplistic in comparision. While Cyberpunk pushes hardware to its limits with noticeable results, the same hardware can make Path of Exile struggle with pixelated dynamic resolution, which should hint at underlying problems. The whole thing gives Macromedia Flash vibes, where ported and cloned games had way higher hardware requirements compared to the original games. |

"That's a lot of words to argue just for the sake of argueing. I'm glad you have such insights, perhaps you can apply for one of the open positions at GGG and teach them how it is done properly? /s | |

So, everyone who cannot play the game due to performance has already gone

" yepp, just checking Forums from time to time, but ggg doesn't seem to care. They only care a few days before a new league starts and then go silent mode until a few days before next league and advertise next league + poe2. It's so sad to see, that they refuse to communicate with us unlike before. |

Is there any way to play older versions of the game?
I know it's taken a wrong turn for a lot of us. But say we could d/l 3.15 and run it in SSF mode or something. Or have a separate server just rerunning old leagues. More options could help. |
