Ideas to help cater to players who've never played poe

Hey boys and girls, I wanted to get some ideas to help new players, especially ones like me who have never played poe1 get a better understanding of the game. I have roughly 1500 hours of D2, but getting into this game was extremely painful. A lot of stuff may just be me being a bit dumb and skipping some possibly crucial dialogue. it wouldn't surprise me. But I'm sure there will be others like me haha

A lot of very useful stuff I learned from watching streamers or looking up general "10 things you need to know before you play poe". Examples are ctrl clicking items, holding alt and hovering over affinities to read what they actually do like spark, electrocute, etc.. (That was a game changer when I found that out), what qualifies as a mod on waystones (I spent nearly 30 minutes trying to get 4 mods for the corrupted quest). Endgame itself is extremely confusing without looking up a guide, and to be honest I still am a bit lost on what everything actually does. Towers and tablets and this and that, with no clear definition of what everything does. I'm not sure if I skipped something, but there has been no mention at all of what "corrupted" zones even means or does.

Another thing that would be incredible is highlighting magic, rare, and unique monsters on screen to tell which monster is which. I'd love if they glowed blue, yellow, or gold accordingly so I can find it without having to stare at the minimap. It's frustrating trying to figure out which is which when there are 10 of the same monsters and one is rare.

Just wanted to put this out there as some feedback. Contrary to what trolls say, I feel the devs actually read and listen to us.
