GGG hates standard.

I don't understand what some people are talking about when they say that new content isn't new content and that GGG hates standard.
New content is new content, how is it now new? Also league has the exact same new acts etc, just 1 extra mechanic (which might or might not get added to standard as the league ends aswell). Leagues are basically kinda like tests for new mechs to add or not add to the core game + fresh economy which some people prefer, whereas others prefer a persistent one (standard).
Also according to GGG's posts, about 30%-40% of the PoE playerbase, plays standard, so saying it's not important to them is ridiculous, Standard IS the core game, a league is just a temporary thingie with 1 extra mech that might fail and never even get added to the game.
Dunno wth ur whining about xD

The OP sounds a bit insane tbh lol...

Can you elaborate? Because what I see is a company that constantly monitors customer feedback and often makes decisions based on that (see most recent Harbinger announcement).

Leagues can be played just as casual as Standard. For example with a one-time investment of a single full weekend you can be in maps and after that you just progress at your own pace. No matter whether you do 5 or 100 maps per day, there is no set goal in this game.

What's the point of doing Shaper over and over again? For the grind achievement? Getting your char to 100 isn't that exciting either, I just don't see the reason for people to cling to their chars like they are actually something of value.

Experiencing new content with an insanely geared Lvl90+ char just takes a tiny fraction of the time it would normally take, and then you're wondering that you're bored with the game after a few days again?

Leagues offer more than enough time to experience some of the endgame content even for moderately active players and if you can only spare 3-4 hours total a week, then maybe there are other games that fit your profile more.


Why do you care how Standard players play? It has absolutely zero impact on your league gameplay.

The only thing they care about is catering the game to the people most likely to donate.

This is not meant as an insult, they are simply not a charity.

Well since this isn't a charity, you can't really call it donations, it is microtransactions. Business transactions where you pay for virtual assets.
