Playability of POE I

I've poured quite a bit of money into this game, so I'm a little confused why scene to scene load times are abysmal or why there isn't any currency in the game. I'm sure it's still great for everybody with a twitch or youtube account, all of whom are well known to GGG, but the rest of us are not feeling any love and pouring in more dollars won't have an impact on game improvement. This is after all almost a no pay to win game.

It's almost like there's a metering device built into the game that won't let it move to new game material with anything approaching alacrity. Wait... Wait... Wait... Thrilling!

I understand that it behooves you to pander to content creators, but I'm not putting another dime into this game in its current state.

Take off the tinfoil hat.

1. Lack of currency is part of current game state. They nerfed map effect, they nerfed popular farm strats, etc.

2. The load screens/shader issues are known and addressed. They are working on it.
