Why isn't that weird I got a list of achievements in competitive games myself and now assist in managing a gaming bar for a local fighting game scene and I don't feel the need to use that to justify my opinion, even more so I know better because players in these circles are different from the average consumer who want to relax. You're not a GM because you were invited to CS Lans, everyone was who was active on forums and IRC.
You're in the wrong genre if you want a challenge, clearly you're aching for those given your insistence, so really odds are you're just boasting and do what many people did, like aAa going over to league from dota, switch to an easier game to be the big dog and avoid the bigger fish.
Also, this is not a dick measuring contest and none of this has been constructive to the topic at hand.
Honestly if you were as good as you claim to be then you should be calmer and actually follow a discussion, no one is crying about the game being difficult (which it isn't it's an arpg one of the easiest games there is).

As POE 1 vets, you can defend these punishing designs as much as you want. At the end, if GGG decides to go that way, there will be limited amount of players. If you wanna earn more, get bigger, you need a larger audiance. You must evolve. provide different options for different play styles.

I played diablo 1 and 2, yes. I'm 40 years old. I have 200 hours in this game. At this point, this game as it is, not for me. If they decide to change it, I can give my time. If they wont, you can give your time. Thats it.

I dont like wasting my time. I value my time.

We are just providing feedback and you cant ignore feedback.

Yet here you are compensating for the "difficulty" of PoE.

And feel entitled to clamour to an archaic system that people would forget even existed if it were removed.

People here aren't asking for free hand-outs. The are requesting the removal of a system that makes the game worse.

TLDR of the vid: Path of exile 2 is not meant replace path of exile 1, its meant to be a different game.

Can anyone point me to where that is stated? I am hoping its true, if that is true and POE1 is still going to be updated, will have new tech etc put into it, keep going with the leagues etc, then I couldn't care less about POE2.

I dont think they are going to run the two games like that, and if they do, I think POE1 will get the "B" team, and bit like what happened with D3 and D4.

In that case, zero desire to support a draw down on POE1 and zero desire to support POE2 as it is. Just want to see some sort of comments or commitment from GGG on what is happening with POE1.

Man, I love reading the difference in the comments between people.

The only psychoanalysis that you need.

XP loss on death = Ego boosting mechanic. People get emotional when their ego is threatened by talking about the removal of the mechanic. Only has a good time knowing they have one-upped someone else. Aka "Xp loss doesn't bug me. I'm just built different, ur just bad"

Everyone else = Relatively non-ego, and just want to chill and play a game without frustrations or needing to perform. Still has a good time regardless if the game is easier.

Overall everyone though? = Emotional arguments instead of realizing people have preferences and we can.. just put in an option to turn it on or off at our own discretion.

Go to bed ya'll. There's more to life than being good at video games. And if GGG doesn't want to listen to the majority of players saying that PoE 2 shouldn't be competitive, or tryhardy, and be oriented around fun. Well, there's millions of other games we can play without XP loss on death in it.

Reminder to those arguing that this game needs punishments. It's an ARPG mate, they've never been difficult. They're based almost entirely on exploding enemies and having them blow up with loot, no skill needed. You're not proving how good you are at video games by rawdogging some XP loss on death. You're just showing how little you value your time. Not something I'd be bragging about.
