If you look at Chris in the past, I am putting all the blame on Chris for all the bad things that poe1 has. The loot explosion is bad and the entire blame should go to Chris for allowing this to happen.

I remember very clearly many years ago when poe1 is in beta, Chris actually tried to scale down the loot drop. Then some players complained that they do not feel satisfied with the loot drop when they killed Mervel (the act one boss).

Immediately within one or two days, Chris revert the "less loot drop" to "more loot drop". It was disappointing to me because during that that time, Chris could have double down on what he is doing and then we will not have the loot explosion that we are seeing now in poe1.

1000% agreed, i'm feeling this since the start of the tear rivers in poe2. When poe1 loot changed into loot explosions I quickly ran out of interest in the game. Ruthless was a nice breeze of fresh air reminding the old times when loot mattered and every yellow item could be an upgrade.

But the problem with poe1 was its team fault. The decisión to change the focus of the loot made me despise the game and the streamers/cryiers for more loot and instareward for pressing one button.

I think the poe2 bad reviews are from people waiting that type of game. I just don't want it. Also i think the game has its flaws and hope to get fixed anytime soon in the EA
