Are you this poor to not be able to hire few devs to work on PoE1? What's the excuse?

I just saw your post on the even templates and i want to ask are you guys being serious? You're spitting in everyone's face by giving us the nerfed version of sentinels and affliction, i know you haven't tested it because youre always so busy, but quick tl;dr is after you nerfed them they absolutely suck, from a sentinel you get few chaos of loot and 3 white maps, and from affliction you might as well get 3 alchs if youre not playing a fully juiced map...
Only good template youre adding is kalandra+idols which can end up being fun because you get additional juiced map, but why don't you also throw in ascendancies in there? Is fun after Chris stepped down illegal?
You were given so many ideas by the community for the templates and you had few days to add one of them and you haven't, why?
You're not putting any effort into PoE 2 so why not get the team back working on PoE1? Right now youre killing both games, for the past 9 months i havent had fun for a long time, since you changed the dust in settlers i havent played the game much because i dont like the shipping system anymore.
If you're telling me "just play another game" then i might as well quit because there's no guarantee you won't not test next league and we will have to be beta testers for 2 weeks again like every league...
Start listening to the community and add good templates until tommorow otherwise the large community huffing in copium will eventually leave you.

I don't want new poe1 devs. I want the 8 or so that have been working on it the last few years.

It's not about money. It's the decision they made. And if they hire more devs - they will put them all on PoE 2.

If I knew that they would break their promises about keeping PoE 1 going, I would not buy the expensive PoE 2 starter pack. Ironically, all the PoE 1 enjoyers like me who gave them money for PoE 2 ended up facilitating our favorite game's demise. Jonathan and co. who haven't given a crap about PoE 1 since 2019 only saw it as a green light to go ahead and pull the plug. Had the PoE 2 early-pre-beta-alpha launch been less successful, we'd likely get two new PoE 1 leagues by now. Oh well...

If i knew then, what i knew now i would have just never got poe2 and i would have done something else with my life all this time instead of coping that its going to be good every patch.

I did give the game an honest try as i made around 6-7 characters in hc that made it over lvl 80. As well as having 3 characters in sc over level 90. I told myself that it was ok but at the end of the day it just wasnt it for me.

Shame about poe1.

you cant just hire new devs to make development faster

normaly hiring new devs slows down progress for a few month because they have to be taught

sure if the new devs know the programming language used it is easier,but you still have to teach them
every game is different

People are really clueless about this. They can't tell you truth, what do you expect? It's not some two guys project any more.

Thank corporate greed.

Sentinels and Affliction clearly impacted their effectiveness, making them less rewarding and fun. Many players feel the changes didn’t reflect community feedback, especially with ascendancies and templates being overlooked. The lack of communication and testing has caused frustration, and without meaningful updates, there’s a real risk of losing player engagement and trust moving forward.
