Why have you stopped playing?

Dat orb economy

One shotting

playing the game is pretty bad way to get better gear xD

I in games like this i enjoy character progress and gear progress which comes from killing monsters and gathering/crafting loot.


In this game you can't progress by gathering loot, and there is a stinky pile of shit instead crafting.

Not for me/

Ive had well over 10 level 70+ characters ive deleted for space, all of which were failed build tests. Testing builds and getting the gear for them, as well as leveling is too tedious, time consuming and expensive. The unexpected Aura change alone ruined quite a bit of my characters when 1.0 hit.

This is coming from someone who played World of Warcraft for 7 years

I'm not sure how to relate this to PoE. I found WoW to be one of the most time consuming, less rewarding and tedious games ever. You argue against PoE while at the same time mentioning WoW as an opposite(?)
Might it be a good thing that you, because you like WoW, do not like PoE?

"I played World of Warcraft for 7 Years", i havent played it for an entire year because it started to get too easy after Wrath of the Lich King. Mists was a good expansion at first but literally became a second job after around 3-4 months in.

Im giving this comparison exactly because of that fact that its one of the most tedious and time consuming games, i know what its like to spend tons of time and effort on things.

One of the few things World of Warcraft did do well, was making builds testable. Having an entire test servers for this, before hand they had an extremely tedious and expensive build refund system just like Path of Exile is now with Orbs of Regret. Thankfully they got rid of that system and make respeccing far more accessible, allowing for multitudes of fun and interesting builds to suddenly pop up.

Having had the experience i had with World of Warcraft, i can say, having to level a Character to 80 and grind for the gear, just to test it, is asking way too much. Theyve got to make builds easier to test.

-'Vendor Trash Online'
-exalts and up don't actually drop
-crafting is a joke, tried for months to 6l a weapon gathering and spending and failing, always failing.
-running same maps over and over, hit a dry spell and going back to lower level maps to build up a base again.
-Having to gear for rarity/quantity
-re-rolling characters and builds has made me so sick of the acts that I hate doing them now.
-Futility is not a good game concept

Dat orb economy..
So easy to spot botter and multibox program users..
im always amazed on how some people got 7 or mirror when in 8 month playing as a no life with dozen 70-85 character, trying to farm with multiple cccounts i never seen a mirror and droped only 5ex! My most valuable stuff looted so far was an alpha howl sold for 4ex.. what a luck..
I really wanted to craft stuff and so..

And some words about this horrible community, especially in the forums: i've never met such a bad community in any game, i know i'll be flamed by fanboys in no time, they won't read my whole post and will reply with some troll comments or in 1-2 words. No intelligent conversations going on here. Nor the fanboys, nor the developers seems to understand that there is something wrong with the game, otherwise there wouldn't be so much "whining", however you (the fanboys) often call EVERYTHING that's not praise the game whining.
The usual reaction to these kind of post is "go play d3", you know what? I did played the PTR, and i was amazed by how much better, friendly and helpful the community was there.

If you really think this game is so much better than d3, then look inside and make yourself a worthy community member of this game by not flaming other players posts, be helpful, argue in an intelligent way.

Bad loot.
Desync.
Gambling instead of crafting system.
All builds feel the same.
Xp is slow.
Grinding is slow.
Combat system is not responsive.
The few builds that were OP with little items get nerfed into not being viable anymore.


But I've already said these things before. Nothing got changed.
Main reason I played the game in the first place was diablo 2 nostalgia and level 1-40 is fun. Because progression from white items to blue items to rare items with a unique sometimes feels like a smooth transition.
In fact, up until lvl 40, the game is very enjoyable. But there's a very rude drop off after that point. And I can only play lvl 1-40 a few times before it gets boring since there's so many gear requirements to make every action feel responsive(walking speed, attack speed, chance to hit, status evasion, ugh....)

This is a good post to keep in loop all the players who left the game because it lacks optimization and w/e else they complain (i think that is the main problem) but still love the game so they come around every now and then and post into the forums like my self included.

I will see with the new leagues, maybe and only maybe i come back, hopefully they improve the game a bit.

the problem is, the game mechanics are the best around, however from the actual gameplay and tech side the lack sooooooo much :)
