Everyone is taking about new leagues and loot, but what about the POE1 4.0?

GGG will first finish converting the rendering in PoE 1 to how they have it in PoE 2. Once all MTX's are on both platforms, GGG will be able to make large scale changes much more efficiently. This will also allow them to implement WASD movement.

They are also in a season on addressing many of the QoL features that have been placed on the back burner. I'm honest excited to see a few slightly watered down leagues to address QoL issues.

Streamlining the socketing system I would be down for. Especially coloring, I don't feel it adds any meaningful agency. I could see a system where any gem could be socketed anywhere, and matching socket colors gives a minor boost like 3% damage or +2 of an attribute of something.

Streamlining sockets would probably be bad.
At least, I much more prefer how PoE1 does it than PoE2.
I think it's because it makes you more invested into the items.

It's bad in PoE 2 because they are all tiered and random drops, not something you can work towards. Or at least it still was this way when I last tried it. The whole gem system being changed in a weird way, on top of already established mechanics being changed back into PoE infancy stage is what immediately turned me off from the game.
