Would you pay to have GGG focus exclusively on fixing the game issues but no new content?

I don't think GGG lacks of update on the desync issue is because of their focus on new content. Chris desync explanation shows that it is a physical limitation. There is just no quantum communication available and prediction is only so good.

Putting more programmer (no matter how good he/she is) is unlikely to improve the situation. GGG probably have a team focusing on the desync problem.

Note that to keep PoE alive and well, new contents are a must. Assumed that the desync problem is fixed at the cost of new contents, it won't take long for PoE to lose many players. I myself and probably many other can attest to that.

Can you or anyone can promise GGG that PoE player base will continue to grow or even maintain without new contents? Many of us learn to deal with desync and whatever the other serious problems are. The amount of entertainment PoE brings far outweigh problems that we can deal with.

Finally, in case you forget, PoE is FREE. Unlike many other game that cost $60 and has problems that most can't deal with.

No.

I like new content and have had little trouble with the issues that people complain about. I do acknowledge that desync exists and can kill people but I'd rather have new things to play with.

lag and desycn do not affect me at all so no i really dont care.

its worth mentioning what 'content' means. I want higher level maps, alternatives to the mapping system, game modes that reward balanced builds that are both survivable as well as dish out huge dps, buffs to solo play. etc. what i dont want is more mtx or acts that get dull 25 minutes after release.

Ive decided to stop posting on the forums.

You speak for me anyways.

At nearly level 96 i died a total of 16 times, non of them due to desync or lag. i realize its beyond your comprehension but perhaps, just perhaps someone has had a different experience than you regarding the severity desync and lag.

This thread implies that they focus all of their financial resources on developing new content, and that as a result old issues remain untouched.

I think this misses the dart board and hits the potted weed plant. Besides the very likely fact that they do spend resources on fixing bugs and improving server/client communication and the netcode, new content in software often does require changes to existing code/content, which is frequently a good opportunity to fix something while simultaneously adding something new.

So, the premise strikes me as off, because these two things aren't mutually exclusive.

I have very few issues with the mechanics that have not already been address.

I do enjoy the new content, and hope to see an Act IV later this year.

I haven't really desired new content since Piety was the final boss fight.
(Not that I haven't enjoyed and appreciated much of the new content.)
I hope that this answers your question.

It has been stated several times that the solution that they have they will not use. It means not keeping everything server side and letting the player side communicate instead of just letting the server side predict what is going to happen.This is why when you go through a doorway you desync like crazy. A way better explanation can be found on reddit.
Tldr. The solution would leave the game open to exploits or hacks and they dont want that.
