Is PoE2 Falling Apart? How Long Until We Get Real Fixes?

"

Ppl refer so often to the "vision" because "THE VISION™" is really clearly communicated by someone in charge.
And I have to say, if they keep following this vision, I won't touch the game.
While there is someone in charge, I think he could be the "saviour", I have no clue how much influence he ultimately has in the development, so it doesn't look promising.

Maybe PoE 2 is not gonna be the game for you but since you paid for the early access already I don't think a bit of hope that the game will get better or just waiting and seeing what GGG does in further patches wouldn't hurt.

If you had something specific to reference in regards to what GGG is saying that you think will ruin the game experience for you that would make the conversation / feedback more productive because it's not really clear why you don't like the game and what changes you don't like.

But it's not like anyone on the forums can make you magically like the game either.

Early Access Isn't an Excuse—Where Are the Fixes?
Some of you say the game isn’t fully released yet, so we shouldn’t lose hope—but let’s look at the facts.
1️⃣ Player Count Is Dropping Fast – Just check the game charts. The numbers don’t lie. Players are leaving, and it’s not because of difficulty—it’s because of frustrating mechanics and lack of meaningful fixes.
2️⃣ Early Access Is Meant for Improvements – The whole point is to gather feedback and make changes before full release. So where is the action? Are they actually addressing these issues, or just ignoring them while the game falls apart?
3️⃣ Unstable Servers & Bots Ruining Gameplay – How can they expect proper feedback when the servers constantly disconnect? And even if we push through the lag, the trading system is a disaster—bots flood the economy, making meaningful progress nearly impossible.
4️⃣ If Early Access Isn't for Us, Then Neither Is Endgame – If our feedback doesn’t matter now, then what makes you think things will magically improve at full release? The community is moving on, and if the devs don’t act fast, there won’t be a player base left to enjoy the “finished” game.
These are just some of the key issues holding PoE2 back. We’re not asking for an easier game—we’re asking for balance, meaningful progression, and a stable experience. Right now, only one or two builds are viable, while the rest are either bad or ridiculously expensive.
💬 I want to make it clear—I’m not here to tear the game down, I’m here to push for improvement. I enjoyed the first patch, and I still believe in PoE2's potential. But if the devs don’t act fast, it risks becoming another wasted opportunity. Fixing these issues would make the game better for all of us, and that’s what we should be fighting for

I already gave constructive feedback multiple times, but tbh, I am too lazy to search for it in my forum posts, if you see the pages... you know why.

Player count isn't dropping any faster than on 0.1 or compared to other games. 0.2 has better player retention than any PoE 1 patch.

Yep, its just a cheap cashgrab and nothing more. I have no clue why they made PoE 2 the way it is after they saw the Ruthless player numbers in PoE 1. It makes no sense.

Can we just have full PoE1 support please. We understand, VISION etc. This game is already perfect, can we have all developers switched to PoE1 development?
