Why won't any of my other friends try Path of Exile? ఠ_ఠ

Lot of people saying this kinda thing...



Putting aside the subjective opinion that D2 was infinitely better than PoE, it's pretty objective to say that the only similarity the two games share is that you control a character from an overhead view...
GGG treats you with respect and does not insult you by holding your hand.

GGG treats you with respect and does not try to win you over with fancy movie-clips or "exaggerated trailers."

GGG treats you with respect and does not force subscriptions, instead letting you chose how much you want to pay them.

GGG treats you with respect and does not put hundreds of cheaply made zone produces as fast as possible.

Seemingly people don't want to be treated with respect

People have been conditioned their whole lives too gobble up "disrespect" and ask for more.

D2 is and was indeed a better game. Sadly I already played it for 10 years straight in every possible manner. So there's nothing left to explore. And the mods aren't my thing.
What we need is a graphical and content update to D2.
Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs.
We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

Only mod I tried was the Median mod (or something). Really good mod!

+1

I've had a few mates have a go at it.
The people who stick it out are rare.

The rewards for playing are abstract especially early on and reaching that top tier takes a lot of time.
Let the games begin
None of my friends play, nor family. Im the only one.

Its like Hardcore mode: 'only one'.

I Stay (and will hopefully always stay) cause i want to experience the Lore (Exiles Wraeclast story progression).
same thing..
none of my friends really play poe anymore.
im like lone wolf mcquade, or at least I like to think so.

hopefully, act 4 will bring ppl back in droves.
do what you want to the girl, but leave me alone.
Many players I know really stick to first person shooters, or are so deeply involved in a long term MMO that they don't have time for anything else. Of the handful of IRL friends I've gotten to try PoE, most said the game was too hard (complexity and challenge).

My sales pitch for PoE has always been all the options PoE gives you and that the game is challenging. The "Cats on..." April Fool's fun had a few people wanting to try the game, but it was over before they found out.
