When is this snooze fest ending? and release new league POE 1 ?

Honestly, it's pretty sad GGG are willing to ignore the main game and community to reply to messages like this instead:

Waaah I got scammed pls return items and ban this guy! Waaah the trials are so hard, I can't do them! Uwaaah the maps are too difficult, and white mobs keep one-shotting me!

I agree, the snoozefest of PoE 1 should go away. Just shut down the servers and shunt the rest of the staff onto the game that will make them actual money in a good time table.

Wake me up whenever the bots and the dads with 5 wifes and 10 kids start buying supporter packs.

Well here you have a clear example, I am not any of those things you mention and I love POE 2 more than POE right now.

Of course you do. It's fresh, it's new and it's different.

But there's NO sense of longevity in PoE 2. The atlas, the map designs, the campaign... Everything seems balanced and adjusted as a "one playthough game", so I understand perfectly that people are getting bored. NO(!) defensive options besides armor, evasion and energy shield, which makes every character defensively the same. I want to tinker, I want to build, I want to create.

Of course, this is my opinion and there are tons for people creating lots of characters (for some reason). Anyhow, I actually think people will be VERY(!) surprised about the PoE 3.26 numbers.

Look at POE1 design and be careful what you wish for. First they introduce a new defensive layer and soon enough content is tuned up to make said defensive layer very close to "mandatory".

Spell suppression is the worst offender here.

I agree, this is one of the side effects of "options", to not make the defensive options OP. I think they improved the Spell Suppression problem this league with a massive block buff and buffs to maximum resistances.

But there are so many jewels, hidden anoints, unique items, a better passive tree (and more) that makes creating a build a much more fun experience in PoE 1 even though PoE 2 and everything hasn't been solved yet.
