I've always felt that PoE has gotten much much easier over the years. However, someone pointed out to me that a lot of this is total bias because I've become more knowledgeable and better at the game.
The game has piled on a lot more difficult content but at the same time, provided more tools that experienced players can use to tear the game a new asshole. This doesn't change the fact that for someone fresh, the game is still very difficult. At least, that is what this person told me. I don't know if I believe it or not though. I am looking forward to the difficulty overhaul with act 4. "Danger is like jello, there's always room for more."

Did you play in bloodlines / beyond leagues???
Far more rips in those leagues then the ones before them imo. I'm actually expecting standard players to cry so hard when bloodlines hits the core game. I'm honestly a little worried new challenge leagues will be toned down because of it. |

" I am just saying because of trading in this game is so dominant that I know people who owns multiple pairs of acruities that has never seem atziri. And since many of these so called "BiS" items can be acquired with trading game if you know what to do, you dont have to really play and conquer the content yourself, just flip and acquire... Personally I dont even start my 1st map without all capped resist and using my other gears I am doing 72 maps at Lv62... and I am farming atziri at Lv68 and uber at 72... Again I think one can totally bypass this issue playing pure self found. The real hardcore PoE players and the elites sit in town and zoning in and out of their hideouts trading items. Noobs that don't know how to play PoE correctly, kill monsters for items. It's pure fact, it will never change.
Welcome to PoE. |

I think the nature of the game limits it's ability to be challenging. Your supposed to literally kill tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of enemies throughout the course of a characters life. How do you do that without making the character powerful enough to where its almost trivial to kill 20 monsters in one click of a mouse. Maybe if they made the game where every monster encounter is atziri level in difficulty but would anyone play that?

this game is hard enough as it is with constant nurfs to survivorbility mainly towards physical damage. This post was created by a person without a single decent hc character. Of course its easy on softcore where u die and nothing is a problem just on well 1 more portal scroll while in hc alot of time and curency is wasted on death

i think the op has a point, imo the game has got easier in many regards. I made a suggestion post a while back about making hard rolled maps more rewarding, giving us easier ways to make our maps harder via cheap zana mods and making sustaining maps in the manner we do right now more dependent on doing this in order to make the game more challenging. but in fairness...
" Have to agree with Calamity, Bloodlines has a lot of heavy duty mob mechanics, some real nasty beasts in there. I feel like they are actually taking steps to make the game harder at the same time a lot of the power creeps with the tree, skills, items etc are coming in. They have started balancing back with harder content and I expect this is how it will carry on, they will let exciting bits of power creep come into the game over time to keep it feeling fun and punish us at the same time by introducing harsher mob mechanics/encounters. the amount of ladder rips happening in the bloodlines/torment 1mhc was quite substantial, there probably are a lot of standard league only players who are in for a nasty surprise when bloodlines hits the core. There will be blood. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

" 1. Play Hardcore, I've made the switch and this game is 1000% better. Prices are better, community is supportive and each monster pack must be identified/ accounted for. Bloodlines in hardcore is probably the most fun I've ever had since I got my new computer. 2. Builds are optimized. Each build is optimized since newer gems (lame use) aren't really substantial therefore more time is spent on polishing builds. 3. Crafting system. Crafting has made that 10 ex boot turn into 1 ex boot. On hardcore I've spent less than 1 ex on my gear which allowed me to do over 30k dps with 4k hp/75 all res. \]
