ITT: 'Why don't GGG just make the game the way I want them to make it?'
Honestly, people. Look at the topic title, see nothing but opinion amounting to 'this looks too complicated for me because I like it simple' (and there's nothing wrong with that), nod and smile and say something nice like 'okay' and move on. Despite my unparalleled performance, this forum isn't about who has the highest post count. I already won that and believe me, it's nothing to post home about.
FWIW I agree with arandan. GGG have been looking for ways to rinse-and-repeat the basic loot pinata system for years in creative, clever ways. Sometimes it lands. Sometimes it doesn't. But given they need to keep it fresh every league, I think it's foolish, selfish and short-sighted to ask why they don't just do the same thing every time.
I'd wager this game would be all but dead if they had. Certainly, the game is far too bloated with loot pinata gimmicks now. Has been for years. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be using the league system to fully explore just how many iterations of the 'loot pinata' they can create.
This forum would be a much more pleasant place if more people could realise they're not the only one playing (or not playing) the game, and that everyone has different ideas of what's fun, engaging, challenging...or boring, deterring and easy.
Not for you? Cool, skip it.
Ah, but that's the problem, isn't it, Exiles? YOU CAN'T. Because you're addicted to PoE no matter how crappy you think this latest flavour of PoE is going to be.
And addicts are, at the best of times, far from the most reliable critics of a product.
And you think GGG are going to read any of this and go, 'oh no we were wrong to try a different gimmick this league because these people who play every league no matter what we do might quit'?
Ha. hahahahahahahahHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
majority of people want simple things in PoE not complicated
You don't know that. And I disagree. There's plenty of other games that offer simpler mechanics. PoE is a niche product and I'd argue they know there audience pretty well.

GGG obviously also knows how to catch the attention of the players who ain't play the game anymore or even despise it.
They are clearly doing something right for sure lol

I have quit PoE 10 years ago, haven't played since then - trust me bro.
Biggest compliments for my crafted items - "bs, they must have been RMT'ed"
I'm disabled, I have rare case of semperduravera, so I can write things that may look rude, but it is because of disability - I'm forced to tell truth using words you may not like.

Im just curious as to what else is getting nerfed.
Me too but I know the nerfs won't be mentioned in the patch notes.
I hope the league mechanic is like Sid Meier's Pirates.
Hidden/undisclosed nerfs ARE buffs good sir

We do not know anything about the new league. As mentioned before, trailer showed some sheep and a boat. Oh and the name of the league. Nothing to make assumptions of.
Maybe we will turn sheep farmers and get new Cassia shouting: It's escaping exile! Have to wait what the league brings and at least give it a try.
Assumption is mother of all f-ups.

seriously what happened with simple league mechanics where you open something spawn monsters kill them get loot instead we get this micromanagment where you need place something in correct order and read alot and other stuff like zzzzz
The level of ignorant negativity is strong with this one.
You seriously cannot have anything that resembles a clue about what this league will include. There hasn't been a single mechanical teaser and yet you jump to the conclusion it will be the opposite of what you want.
I'm actually curious here; in the one teaser we have available, which is nothing more than a name drop, what makes you think this will be a micromanaging league?
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

I opened this thread with the hope to find satire, and I have been disappointed on all fronts..
The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

in regards to micro management, i kinda rage quit legacy league coz i had one tab full of stones and i got a literal headache whenever i opened up the tab and looked at it.
this one has x charges but that one has x charge. i want this one but i dont want that one. this one i should save for later.
harvest had a lot of micromanagement but it was more of dropping seeds for a new harvest so it wasnt as bad.
