Private leagues . . .

"Private Leagues
We plan to enable Private Leagues when 0.2.0h releases using the Path of Exile 1 website for now. There will be no extra mods available for these Private Leagues but we'll be expanding the functionality of them soon. We wanted to get the ability to create Private Leagues released sooner rather than later for those that want to start over in a fresh economy by themselves or with their friends" - GGG

Ma bois... first off, you mean we are releasing private leagues and events. you need to host an event and have a series of events planned each league, probably 1-3 of them to saturate the lulls in player count.. with players.


second, if you ever read a business 101 book, it will tell you, that if you are going to do something, "do it right" that means, when you release private leagues, you release them with a few mods, not none, that is beneath GGG standards, as it is not perfect, nor what your player base is expecting of you "never never never produce anything beneath what your player base is expecting of you, no, you have to know what your players expect and go above and beyond their expectations no matter the cost"

(a great work around is allowing 1 mod players take 5-10 increased damage and just make it a permanent debuff given to all players at league start for a quick work around. In the future disabling gems would be an awesome option that way players can disable broken op builds)

these are major business and company decisions, that are important and reflect deep inner company values, so producing excellence, not rushed content, is a mandate.

this is your business reputation, that the entire world will come to know you by, for example people see GGG is releasing a patch, they try the patch and are underwhelmed ----> they stop caring about patches and patch notes and your business reputation becomes a slumber,

OR,

GGG released a patch and it is mind blowing as the last several have been ----> a new patch is coming out i can trust GGG and am telling my friends, family and the gamer guy at the store about it.

the option is yours and the results of your choices are yours.

You can make Lord of the Rings, or you can make the Hobbit.... but NO ONE watches the Hobbit..... NO ONE.

I honestly dont understand why they are even doing this now. Like seriously what is the point?

Dont want trade or playing with others... SSF

Only want to play with friends / trade with them..... Guild

Want to run some special race event or something where outside people give prizes to special invitees?.... Ok... you can do this on live with streaming...

This just makes no sense to me why time and server space is being wasted on this while the game is in its current state of needing MASSIVE balance changes to ALL parts of the game as well as new content / classes / weapons / skills. Not to mention the addition of something new and not an old POE 1 league mechanic. Delve is the only one I see people asking for where you dont need to be a super zooomer to advance.

I just dont get it. A thousand things they need to do first and private leagues just isnt it.

companies in general always forget that they need to manage not just money , but player trust also. ggg right now is burning throught it by beating around bush and ignoring obviously glaring issues that players scream at them about 24/7

or...they have access to more data than people on the forums and its not as bad as people make it seem. Using steam charts could be a small portion of the playerbase and they are trying to capture the people like me who love this fking game.
