Why do some players lose their passion for PoE ?
" 0/10 bad ruse GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

Because nothing ever drops.
Because in more than a year of playing this game, I never had any currency to even attempt crafting something. Because nothing ever drops. „I don't give a fuck if it was his tenth anniversary with his goddamn neckbeard...“
„If they think I'm going to let them sweep this pizza guy thing under the rug...“ No mod action. Business as usual. |

i lost my passion because the end game and builds are boring as hell along with the drops and boring item mods, coupled with unbalanced classes and mandatory support gem choises.
i am grinding piety for days and then i say to myself, "what the hell am i going to do with the currency?". every build i make will be worse than my fb marauder, even if i make a better one what is the point? end game is already a boring faceroll and even the hardest content is unrewarding. need new act, new mechanics along with new "useful" item mods with new support gems so there will be many more choices to make for a build, need complete rebalance of spells and self casting along with changes to es because, well, es sucks big time along with self-casters right now there are not much freedom in choosing your support gems, e.g dual strike - melee splash - multi - faster attacks -added fire - melee phys damagei that is mostly the same for other melee skills. i am grinding piety for days and then i say to myself, "what the hell am i going to do with the currency?". every build i make will be worse than my fb marauder, even if i make a better one what is the point? end game is already a boring faceroll. also, finding my own good items, like make me SO happy, but for a big majority of the time, especially for items other than jewellery, you grind grind and grind some more to BUY it, which is just...well needles to say i don't enjoy it. i finally made a character that can solo dominus and is viable at maps, but i don't even bother with those as all i will get are rares and maybe shitty uniques to vendor so i can get alt orbs -.- no excitement at all also i don't have mf with my build and sometimes i get only 1 rare drop from piety when i am grinding for alteration orbs, which is just sad ;_; drop rates are already kind of bad, and without MF it is just DREADFUL, boring and frustrating. why are we being forced to party with mf cullers? i have one friend that does piety runs with mf, and he logs in in different times and most days he isn't even online. also most mf'ers do high level maps and charge for others to join them or join players doing high level maps or dominus runs, i don't have enough dps for dominus in a party to be noticeble and i am not good at running to boss fast, i can pay chaos orbs to join map parties but that is assuming people want non-mf players in their party and assuming there is always a map party with mf culler, so only thing left is piety's sweet ass... another thing is the drop chance of USEFUL uniques, e.g dream fragments, perandus signet, high level uniques and stuff like that, they are so damn useful but they never drop, never, you can drop a quill rain 1000 times and not drop an interesting useful unique that you can use in high levels, a unique you will KEEP in stash because you might need them later in your end game build in some situations. GGG are trying too hard to force us to grind to buy these uniques which is just annoying and not fun at all. crafting sucks, im not saying they should increase orb drop chances, i don't care about exalting and eternaling stuff as they are WAY out of my leauge, i just want them to make it so that fusings don't "defuse", so i can try every fusing orb i have on my 5L or 4L item because i know i can keep using my 5L item after failing to get 6L. im not saying make the chances better, just make them not defuse or make them easier to get, maybe by increasing the alt shards you get for rares and decreasing fuse cost to 3 jewellers, stuff like that. we need a complete balance for casters, spells and es mechanics. right now it is like one class is out of the game, every witch is either summoner or totemer because they don't get hit, when self casting you will get hit a lot for a lot of damage because no armour no block no evasion, you will get chain-stunned or frozen and die. right now there is no reason to play a witch, also thanks to scion passive start, it is just much better than witch and templar start. we also need tweaks to existing spells to make them more interesting and fun, imo. there have been lots of complaints about issues with self-casting and spells, i hope ggg will do something about it, not just a small chance, we need a huge patch for witches. most people play melee as it is much easier and cheaper to build, which decreases the replayability value because as i said it is like one class is out of the game :/ one last thing, if these new low level trash uniques are decreasing the drop chances of high level uniques even further, then i have nothing to say to ggg. seriously. sorry for my english, i don't care about grammer and punctuation, so...sorry for those too, i guess.

This game should be called Path of Junk. 99.9999% of drops are junk.

" this is exactly what i ask myself everytime i log in. "why am i doing this agian?". The more I play the more I feel this game wasn't ready for the official release. there's plenty of polish and structure but still requires work. i just hope it comes sooner than later. It'd be nice if at least the devs kept us in the know about what's happening so we're not so lost in the dark. It really feels like none of us are being heard. |

Every few threads it is the same.
The same 3 reasons people being fucked up with the game: Desynch, Bad Loot, fucked up crafting. Why hasn't GGG answered this issues in none of the threads? I was playing since 26.01.2013. My real achievments are: 4 "high level" Chars, lvl 86 Shadow (my first one, since day 1), lvl 82 witch, lvl 79 scion and lvl 71 maradeur. Ans one lvl 60 Scion in Domination league which i stopped playing. My best gears are: None of these peaces where selffound. I am playing mostly solo, beacuse everytime I log into a party all players are faaaar better then me. I hate trading and love crafting, well I am forced to do the opposite thing. The only reason I could afford most of the gear was, my lvl82 Witch was my third Char, only purpose is to grind Merc Docks. It is a MF Dishcarger with 100/250 MF. With her I can farm hundreds of Alts, but still, not enough to even start crafting. I am dissapoint. I think that with hard work and 100 of hours grinding you should give rewards if you are soloing, and now you just being fucked up. And GGG doesnt say a thing about this. I think they like to dissapoint casual gamers. BTW the solotuion would be easy as hell: make 72-75 maps drop like candy and slightly increase the drop rates for Regals, Exalted, Eternal. Saw only like 5 Exalted drop and none eternals. Last edited by Banev#5008 on Jan 11, 2014, 5:57:43 AM

For me it is almost exactly as for other players: loot, crafting, desync and nerfs.
I just realized that doing any anything else will give me more fun and will be more rewarding. This game was like a second job, only difference I was not paid for it. Currently I spend only small part of that time on increasing my professional skills. It is more like work, but still is more rewarding than POE and gives me more fun and profit.

Being forced to trade, RMT or be doomed to mediocrity. Desync is annoying but you can play around it if you now what you're doing.

I might stop playing when I hit 100th lvl.
I can't imagine playing with another character that can't do what my duelist can, my thrill is killing every boss, not skipping any map mods and always rambo monster packs, regardless of the map mods. Hard to achieve that feeling of not being able to die except from some bosses when things get put together badly. I would like to make a fireball caster, I've leveled one with with Fireball/Firestorm, very fun to play, very... but, my FPS in group parties cannot handle that. Maybe a self found, who'd know, we'll see |

" this is a great post i agree with everything you say except drop rates, i like the rareness of elite uniques. but everything else is spot on but i still love this game! i really really hate that you have to party with a culler to feel like you are finding items! thats the only thing i liked about d3 was the scaling mf, but thatd be so broken in poe. I think increasing drops, or making crafting better dont fix the problem. Its mainly how bad casters are, and magic find culler shit Last edited by vaporizor#6279 on Jan 11, 2014, 7:51:40 AM
