General Discussion - Are streamers being paid to pretend they like this league? - Forum

" Tygerwoody wrote: Across the board, all streamers are acting like they love the league mechanic. While I get maybe some actually do, there's no way they all do. In my 8 years playing PoE, I've never had a league mechanic be so tedious I'm over with the league by day 2. I was checking a few streamers to see if they share the same concerns. Nope. All of them are saying how great and intuitive it is. Just not buying it. Are you being paid to complain about the league?	Posted by Ringcycle#3193 on Jun 21, 2020, 12:40:09 PM Quote this Post
the sheer amount of paranoid pessimism I've seen on these forums is olympian	Posted by Deleted on Jun 21, 2020, 12:49:28 PM

Yea, great argument. Before update delirium was amazing /s	Posted by karoollll2534#2874 on Jun 21, 2020, 12:53:55 PM Quote this Post

I'm pretty sure you still have delirium in this league. I encountered about 4. The best thing GGGP can do now is add random plant monsters with seed caches to spicy thing up. Running maps only to click on a seed caches and run to portal to store it before real use is boring. Need more frontal assets and backal assets armor!

They always say that they love the league and that it seems fantastic in the first week or two and the community always says they hate the league and its the worst ever for the first week or two. especially the first weekend. So let's see, what the feedback of professional players (like, you know, me) was: " I'am not going to pick up 300 splinters for a single map. Not going to happen. And of course i was right and of course they changed it and of course the mechanic was bad until they did as i told them to do. Same with Harvest the league in it's current state is bad. I don't care if crafting options are good or bad, i want good gameplay. A word about streamers they are playing a different game, they race, they comunicate in short they have more content than we mere mortals.

I remember when everyone thought DELVE sucked!! It was like me and a couple of other people on that first week who were fighting back against what was the popular opinion at the time.	Posted by BearCares#6660 on Jun 21, 2020, 2:42:39 PM Quote this Post

Sure, you said something like: If i want currency i go to delve and have some currency to buy some items. By the way do you remember, the best way to run some delves was quarryfarming? Bad old times, never again. Last edited by DasName#6192 on Jun 21, 2020, 2:58:32 PM	Posted by DasName#6192 on Jun 21, 2020, 2:57:25 PM Quote this Post
