Is this really the direction PoE is going?

So you're saying if you were trading previously, it's exactly the same as before only now you're grinding something else.

What's the big deal then?

Play in white gear if you need more of a challenge. :D

Yeah because that's the logical thing to do.

It is logical. If the game has become too easy, exercise some self control and add some difficulty.

the deal is that league literally doesnt add anything new, and simply increases drop rates...

and if this league succeeds, GGG might get the idea that is the direction next leagues might go. just up drop rates and people will love it. instead of creating something that while might be grindy, is actually interesting and new and changes some game mechanic or item mechanic

my point: less perandus, more labyrinth. ironically, this is exactly the opposite of the whole hysteria going on on here and reddit.

I haven't noticed any drop rate increase. Seems the same as always. Seems like more or less more of the same as all previous league mechanics as well, from my perspective.

There's only so much they can ever really do in a game of this type.

the majority response to this league further proves that average player is a greedy person and all it takes is to up the unique drops for him to proclaim the league the best league ever.

the only major thing is in the league is that the drops are effectively upped. like Ive said in the other thread, scamdiro could be a lvl 8 master selling you random uniques/items for chaos, the mechanic isnt any different except scamdiro's inventory is refreshed every zone.

otherwise, the league is inferior to most leagues, including talisman. talisman at least had interesting talisman bases and the rigwald fight.

you're literally doing the same thing this league as usual, except drops are more accessible.

perandus proves that all it takes for people to love a league is up the drops, and you can wrap any other old stuff under any wrapping and people will take it and like it.
doesnt matter that perandus coins are basically the same chaos people grind for anyway.

people love themselves some free accessible shit. to quote a certain masterpiece, "'they're people like any other people...they love money, but that has always been so...Mankind loves money, whatever it's made of -leather, paper, bronze, gold. Well, they're light-minded..."

and this is a dangerous road to take and a dangerous sign of poe players having this mindset. things like darkshrine and flashback are one month events. but this is a core challenge league.

poe is well on the road to d3 style bame, sadly enough. especially if they cave in, nerf the lab and make perandus into core game. and not to badmouth d3, because its a cool lil arcade that isnt a bad game, but its a bad 'hardcore' arpg and doesnt do justice to its trademark name.
