i usually agree with CW but there are a lot of ways the community wouldnt.

CW would want HW mandatory by default, for ex, and I kind of agree in PoE2 because I find HC a lot more fun.

thing is the economic integrity is already cooked because of things like THAT community, biggest trading hub, also a real world trade front and abuse of reputation system.. and their bots.

GGG didn't do a great job of stopping them before PoE2/CW departure, and they arent doing a great job now.

I am in the camp that PoE2 should be balanced around SSF and not needing a loot filter unless hunting for something very specific.

Agree 100%, I want and ARPG not Path of Excel and 3rd party websites.
...Good timing Chris
Was a good watch as always
just wish he never left
I don't appreciate how in PoE2, league 0.4, many players - including big streamers, abused the unintended holten mechanic and destroyed the game for so many others - all economy integrity was ruined and they live streamed it. And you did nothing.

+1 my same take

I completely agree, and without that, there's no point in playing this game at all, because what happened with Temple will happen again, just a little differently.
declined.
