Chris getting a lot of shit on r/poe

well it's reddit. their decision to rather respond to forums out of their reach.

what they get is the unfiltered truth and they seem to like it more than the civilised feedback from their own forums where hate posts an admitting to ToS violations has rather bad consequences.

i never understood the motivation of ggg to push players outside their own forums to really voice their opinions.

I don't get why people care so much.

PoE is marketed like this:

Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in the dark fantasy world of Wraeclast. It is designed around a strong online item economy, deep character customisation, competitive PvP and ladder races.

important words: online, economy, competitve

If GGG doesn't establish a fair base to those things, players lose interest in buying eeh supporting their product.

- I love Chris and GGG, I do, but I have to call BS on this post by Chris. Many of my friends bot (same as D3). This has been going on for many leagues and GGG has never once caught any of them. Their bot scripts just keep getting more advanced too, doing more actions at once yet nothing from GGG.

"

- So you know botters, know their scripts and yet you do nothing about it and complain about Chris doing something? Jesus christ what kind of asshole are you?

Golden.

Especially the first guy: my friends are violating the rules, but GGG is ba-a-ad.
Complainers in a nutshell.

the lead developer deserves whatever is coming to him if he neglects glaring issues.
stop being bootlickers.

It's a very easy step to go from sycophantic supporters to toxic opposition. All you need to do is poorly or not address performance issues for a long amount of time. Add in a strong adherence to forcing people to use shadows, graphic laggy elements, botting, massive scripting, currency flippers, protection of scammers and ordering servers only when the community complains hard enough and boom, instant toxicity. All created by prioritizing badly.

But I'm sure the game will continue as it is until it breaks down in flames.

what goes around comes around....

i remember myself in a thread 4 years ago defending my pov that allowing quadboxing will attract cheaters
chris was in the thread aswell and allowed it under some weird bullshit reason

what was next ?isboxer cheating... now tell me what is more believable that he didnt know that will happen or that the articfial inflated worldwide account number was more benefical for the marketing department

tons of high profile streamer caught on stream using automated software or admitting crossleague trading without punishment
the streamer free card 1 action is allowed (bullshit deluxe) was introduced

to be honest no pity from my side

btw time to update the path of exile system reqs the 2gb something is bullshit you need a fairly new setup to enjoy 2010/11 graphic breaches made this more than clear

Chris is a big boy. He can take a bit of flak.

Meh. Both haters and sycophants are pretty much useless for feedback purposes.

So is classifying everything as either black or white.

dev posting "we are banning botters, only some are undetected" ppl not believing the "some undetected" part, i would hardly call that "a lot of shit", there are ppl disagreeing with what he said, some using strong words like "bullshit" but that is very light compared to things that go on on reddit
