Why people so hurt over this expansion

I'm trying to figure it out, but can't get it yet.

Yes GGG nurfed most of the build's by 40-60% of the base damage.

Let's take 3.14 for example, that's where toxic rain got nerfd pertty bad if I recall, But yet people played toxic rain with insane damage EVEN AFTER THE NERF.

Let's be honest a little bit, I also love the option to just "zooooom" from act 1-10 in no time with minimal investment, Before the nerf I managed to finish act 1-10 in less of 5h, and now it takes me about 8h.. big deal, +3 more hours til I can start mapping.( and I play 3h a day)

even with those huge nerfs the old builds can still be played and do maybe not insane damage but still good damage.

Everyone wanted to have that "insane" build that will cost no more then 10ex including me, but with the nerfs it will take me more time to get that currency and that's OK!, that's how games suppose to be, POE is the only game I ever met that you can get to end game within 3 days, go play WoW and try to get to "endgame" within 3 days.

everyone just talking about the nerfs and how is GGG don't give a fuck about the player and yada yada yada, look at the plus sides, headhunter is something you can get with no time and with not that huge investment with the new league mechanics. I've been playing POE since legion, and I don't lie when I say that I've never got my hands on a headhunter, no matter how many times I tried. and this league I manage to get it under 5ex investment.
Never mind that, I can go on and on telling the bad in those nerfs and the goods.

What I'm trying to say is that, try to find a way to get the most enjoyable time out of this game, even with the nerfs.
Your build got nerfed to the ground?? that's ok go and try to play a different build style, The amount of build's people have been made even with the nerfs are ridicules (and the build's I've found that people made doing more then 70m dps) So you can have a "insane" build, it just a matter on how much time you want to spend on it, My build is aura stacker (that's a fucking 350+ex build) and slowly I'm getting there.

If you still think is league is sucks then go ahead think that.

What if they kept buffing? Is it possible in your eyes to be too strong? Have access to too powerful crafting tools? Is there such a thing as a too easy game in your eyes?

A "yes" or "no" would suffice.

Because gameplay and development way became harder and brings less enjoy. As example - It was impossible to kill for me Sirus in 3.14 (made 3*6 trys, i need 3-4 more to handle it), now i've just stopped and deleted this till next league.

+ i was working 1,5 month on my build in 3.14 to understand everything in how it works and now it's simply does not works at all. DPS it's just a one side of blade side, next one - surviveability which totally killed with all this mana and CD nerfs.

Gameplay now not FLOW - it's row of stumbles.

plus new prices - omg - i just understand that i cant allow all of this for my char and build. Ah, and build deversity - lol - killed also. Just dont wanna play sekeletons or toxic rain any more.

It took A LOT and gave NOTHING.

If smarter people than you used that shallow logic and vision there would never be something like this.
dO wE NeeD tO PuT 5 turbos on nEXt generation?

50 years of development by smart people looks like this

That's a "no" from you, then. No such thing as "too easy", no such thing as "too fast" and so such thing as "a sense of accomplishment".

Got it.

because we are human and we have personal opinions

You still don't get it do you.

3.13 was the Porsche 911 of PoE. They've hit winning formula for the game. There was no need anymore to chase powercreep and MOAAR.
Only thing they had to do is to finally fine tune, balance and perfect existing stuff.

What they did instead? Tried to reinvent the wheel and the results are here and no one can turn the blind eye anymore. Game went to shit. Chris is having salvage appearance in Baeclast, which i think will be just another disappointment for the community.

You still fail to answer any of my questions.

And I do get it, you view 3.13 as the peak of PoE. Why? Several reasons, some of them being easy gear acquisition, easy access to content and easy character building/development.

Which makes me ask: What if they went the other way from 3.13, making the game even faster, even easier, with greater access to better gear, would you like or dislike that?
