To be specific, you're spending your time berating others who have issues with the game. Not posting glorifying topics, not playing the game, but spending your time in threads which you seemingly despise. You spend just as much time and energy in these types of threads (if not more) that the people you tell to go away. Maybe take your own advice? It's been pointed out many times (probably by you) that people satisfied with the game are playing it, not posting about it. What does that say about you?

WTF kind of logic is that? Some casuals wants the game we love changed to suit their pathetic lazyness and we don't have the right to come here and prove them wrong? Aren't you the guy who admitted not willing to trade and not willing to vendor any rares while whining about not being able to get geared? What does that say about YOU?

A. It's shitty logic. It's not my logic tho, just turning it back on the people who came up with it. I feel everyone should be able to come here and spout whatever drivel they like. It's the fanboys who want to stifle any and all criticism of the game with the old standby: "if you don't like it, stfu and leave." Glad to know you agree with me.

B. Yes, I have nerver traded, although not sure why that's considered an admission of anything besides not trading.

C. I vendor rares, 99.99% of them suck, what else would I do with them?

D. That says about me that I prefer to play the game self-found. Let me guess, I should go somewhere else? (see point A)

Food for thought: trading is ultimate easy mode. Nothing is lazier than simply buying what you need from someone else to complete the game. Many SFLers consider you guys the lazy ones, can't even be bothered to progress through the game with what you found. Of course, the difference is that the SFL doesn't give a shit if that's how you want to play. Yet, an optional league that wouldn't change your gameplay one iota somehow gets your jimmies all rustled. Why is that?

Guess I'm not instantly leaving a game that gives good drop rates.

I haven't played D3 for a very long time,but wouldn't the bolded part be a headache for pimping followers ?

It's not too bad - you can change main stats to something else - so for example lets say you want to change that 500 INT roll, you could just load in your barb and then use enchanter to change it to a 400-700 STR roll (for example) if that was what you were after.

Their crafting system is amazing now actually. It most definitely favors the player. GGG should take notice. Too bad they won't. RNG is so hardcore.

That's pretty interesting and I wonder if they had the followers in mind at all when making all these changes.

Sorry for off topic everyone.

They have some pretty crazy follower specific items. I tend to play only in groups anyways - but I got an item for my follower that makes it so he never dies. =p Like literally. He takes no damage. It's on the templar and mine (when I solo played) didn't die too much anyways, but still is kind of an OP item if you solo heh.

The reason why I never bought Diablo 3 was because every char is the same and decisions hardly matter. Luckily I could experience their closed beta to become aware of these points.

Diablo 3 is a game, tailor made for WoW-players, the typical Blizzard demographic. The lowest common denominator.

It says he can't play at the moment (maybe at work?) and refuses to let the forum be dominated by players determined to change the game to satisfy their entitlement issues. While other players are content with the issues that are being contested.

If the forums are dominated by negative postings then perhaps the majority of people aren't as content as you think.

If he's got time to dick around on the internet while at work then he might as well just fire up PoE, his job can't be all that demanding.

Entitlement is a great way to describe what's happening. People can log onto a website and simply buy the top-notch gear required to blast through the game vs. people who would prefer to have somewhat better than current odds to find their own gear (meaning finding a gear upgrade every 10 levels instead of every 20.) Yeah, entitlement sums it up perfectly.

GGG is incapable of fixing desync. Yes, it sucks, but bad decisions from a certain lead dev has made it beyond their ability to fix (or even mitigate.)

SHOTS FIRED!!!!

Retaliation: I think that GGG's game is aimed at an equally low denominator: gambling no lifers who love Korean grind snore-fests... see what I did there?

The sad part is that strip away all the "fake" choices POE has, only a handful of builds truly shine past level 70. You know it. I know it. And due to poor engine choices, build choice is even less than that.

The only thing that could possibly help offset the terrible engine and offscreen deaths would be good gear. Increasing drop rates would be such an amazing boon to this game for so many reasons.

why D2 still lives is because it was new back then and was the best game


also, it just has that magic thing that i cant really describe that makes it so good. maybe its the memories from it, or the graphics, idk.

Trading isn't "the ultimate easy mode"... It's the answer to gearing up in a diverse item system. The more items and affixes PoE adds the more difficult it is to find the gear for your build. D3 doesn't have this problem because the item system is much simpler.

I love playing through this game and using only what I find. It's challenging and fun to build around the items you get. You are correct that by the time I am farming Merc Lunaris I am generally done finding gear and am forced to trade. It would be wonderful if they could improve this area of the game slightly.

I don't see the need at all for a new league. Just some tweaking to the drops around Merciless Act 3 time would be more than enough help.
