Streamer priority is as unethical as p2w. Discuss.

Knowing which account belongs to a Streamer, or to a Bot, enables the one thing GGG swore to never do - removing the R from "RNG".

I'm a huge fan of Lighty's All For One series for example, but I admit this discovery will ruin my fun watching Streamers get cool drops.
Or trying to get cool drops myself.

lol. Streamer RNG, streamer clusters. Questioning these things now seems crazy.

Thinking that streamers could possibly have an advantage with loot drop chance after getting queue priority, doesn't feel good.

It's gonna be a long while before I consider supporting GGG again.

@Charan, you supposed a game that you enjoyed and a dev vision you enjoyed.

There's nothing to regret.

Thanks to contributions by you and people like you, people like me got to enjoy a literal decade playing Path Of Exile.

I am personally very disappointed with GGG on this decision.

The implicit understanding has always been, all players are equal, and anything that matters is based on effort you put in within the game. Anti P2W is all about ensuring external means don’t influence ingame achievements. Now GGG is saying not all players are equal.

The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things.

Seems to me that anyone who didn't receive special treatment for que times falls into this category. Which is 99% of the player base. ALL BECUASE YOU DONT STREAM THEIR GAME.

DO I NEED TO SAY MORE???

There was a time where you could actually login the game after league launch and see the timer counting down. Back then there was an even level playing field. I actually remember having the first level 2 in some temp league years ago.

Now I even have not had the chance to login yet. The race has already started, people are lvl 70+ and your car is still a broken mess waiting on the start grid.

It poisons the entire concept of a fresh league start. The fact that accounts can be cherry picked to bypass the queue is astounding. GGG took time to develop this feature and implemented it. That says a lot right there.

All true, rat69 play all time and we are fucked... ;(
