Why do you and others presume that low drop rates will keep people playing, rather than discouraging them leading to them quitting out of boredom? Millions of people fled Diablo 3 very quickly when it became obvious that playing the auction house was more effective than playing the game. The same kinds of "hardcore" masochistic players that stuck with the game tried to argue that everything was fine because they were finding good items, and everyone else just needed to work harder.

Sorry, I play games for entertainment, not as a second (or first) job.

The people that presume that are the people the understand that a arpg is 80% itemhunt, 19% xp grind, <1% everything else... Enough time invested and eventually you will reach high levels, but there will always be a item upgrade to look for and keep you searching.
The reason D3 AH ran people off is because D3s xp grind was extremely short and once you had a lvl 60 of each class there was no reason to xp ever again since you could just respec and once you figured that out people realized that farming for gear was pointless since there was always better gear more easily attainable located on the AH. So there is 99% of a ARPGs gameplay gone leaving you with the same tired boss fights, lackluster pvp, and currency farming.

Easymode league would be the same as the d3 fiasco for those reasons.

I mean if you don't understand what a arpg is or you don't like arpgs then play call of duty or mortal combat I really don't know why you want a genre of games to be different than they are spose to be when what you are looking for most likely exist somewhere else

Yeah, I don't get the difficulty either. This game isn't difficult. It just has random damage spikes that kill you or desync that makes it unlikely to reach higher levels but not difficult. You could farm docks for a very, very long time with zero risk and you'd get there eventually. Maybe people call the game difficult to feel better about themselves while they play their life away? As if the challenge is something to feel proud about?

Seems kinda sad. But that's people for ya :)

Wow, this guy knows what he is talking about.

For example I can farm normal ledge with my merciless characters for hours without the risk of dying. LOL. this geym is definitely easy.and i also want to end my post with my new favorite quote

LEL yu all noobs game is easy I can over-farm areas.

Yes to self found league , fuck no to carebear league.

Yes there ARE plenty of reasons why POE SHOULDN`T never ever have a casual league .

It would just be wasted time and money. GGG has a lot of things to do atm and a care bear league shouldn`t even be in their list.

Eventually everyone would consume the game too fast , ye ppl would be like yay and fuck yea in the first weeks but in no time everyone would be bored .U guys are basicaly asking a version of the game with hacks.Seriously i am sure all of us during our gaming life has found cheat codes , bots , hacks or whatever to make things easy like hell .Dont u really understand the terrible consequences this kind of league would have?

Just like the games we have once `played` with hacks and codes PoE wouldnt be enjoyable anymore, PoE would be like a big bad copy of D3 and Tl2 , people play them for 1 week and then they drop it.

You think it wouldnt affect other players ? sure it would , it would affect the image of the game , call me elitist or whatever but i enjoy things only if i have to work hard for them , i want a game to be challenging in every moment and feel satisfied when i achieve something .

The journey is more important than the destination ,yet u just want to eleminate it.

Funny when algoQQwhinebots gets their panties twisted into not noticing, or deliberately ignoring the differences between an MMO, offline single player rpg, and an online rpg.

I got bored off TQ and other offline rpgs because of the rapid advancement and early OP I win. Poor retention. Poorly thought out thread, squeals of "Me so special. Me want instant gratification."

Hardcores are already playing on hardcore. More casual players are playing on non-permadeath leagues. Why split further.

Why shouldn't GGG make a league to accomodate more players's taste?

I think its because population will split and that economy will not be there if it was just few people playing.

They've already made more leagues to suit more players' tastes than any loot ARPG I can recall. Combined with events/races there's something for everyone. "Everyone" not including people who want the mechanics changed to the point that it's not Path of Exile anymore, but a game which already exists elsewhere. No thanks.

the changes i suggested woukdn't make it not path of exile.

It still has 6L, maps, orbs currency, POE's story, bosses, skills, passive tree, support gems. It is still POE, not diablo 3 or torchlight

Beside why are you saying 'no thanks' to something that will not affect you in any way? Nobody is forcing you to play casual league if it was made. The whole point of this suggestion is to allow people who enjoy POE as it is currently continue playing that way
