To be an ARPG it needs just two things.
Action - As in, not turn based.
RPG - Role Playing Game
I feel like I've been saying this for two decades now.
An ARPG is at it's core just a CRPG that uses tick rate instead of turns.

For most people that arnt the top 2% blasters the game does not make us feel powerful til we are nearly in the end game and even than some classes take well into the end game to be able to actually feel good to use
there is no true power feeling in this game, Most white mobs take way to many hits, most rares are some bs that force you to be right next to them to damage them and every step of the way gear is worthless as most upgrades come in +skill's on gear and the player will use massively under lvl items well into the maps because of this
this is exactly dogshit to play simple as that ggg, Make your skills actually feel useful, let us combo them around and make good new builds, All we got right now is the same bs 2-4 builds everyone runs every league becuse theres no fucking powerrrrr in 99% of things
you should really not call this a ARPG at all, An if you want to fix it stop nearfing every thing fun into the ground insted bring things up too that level and let us enjoy ourselfs
Once the tourists pass on this game will be dead in the water.
It's player retention numbers have consistently dropped with each patch as it moves further and further from the game that made the company successful to begin with.
It will be truly remarkable if there's anyone left come 1.0

Running pure tornado build, viable all content. There is absolutely more than a few build out there that are able to do all content and survive.

I think you mean as it moves CLOSER to the game that made the company successful.

only true power feeling if you are lucky to find in the NPC shop in the beging of the league some items with + level .
If you get that then you will feel the power and rush the campaign. Other than that you are useless and will stay useless the entire game.
What is the point in building a character and I cant do delirium for exmaple . Do I have to damn shift the entire to something else just to do this stupid content.
A healthy character endgame should be able to finish all content and this is how I see it unless the character was built for a specific purpose and specific mechanic, then that make sense.

If you want a power fantasy, play Warframe or PoE1.
I'm glad PoE2 hasn't yet devolved into a game where you 1shot everything or it 1shots you.
Boy, I have bad news for you

Honestly. Fuck power fantasy. Like there’s not enough dumb games out there offering just that. Go play those. Stupid people wanting to homogenize every god damn game in existence.

Why always people with no badges, no challenges and private profile offer the worst takes?

Why always people with one or two cheap badges attack people with no badges? Also why talk about challenges? Those are in PoE 1 and have nothing to do with this game.

Because they are new. All the people who bounced off PoE because of skill issues are now in PoE2. Of course they fight for their life that this game won't change into PoE.
Now you have a problem. New players who spend nothing on the game, and the whales from PoE who hate PoE2
