Path of Exile too easy?

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.

This post covers it mostly.

Bias makes it seem easier as time passes.

I play temp league hc without trading.
I don't think it is getting too easy overall but the risky things are too skippable.
Specifically map bosses either need to come out of their rooms or be way more important for map pool building/sustaining.
Bloodlines and spirits are both good additions though, hope we can get some more stuff like that.

Remember though, you're battling against thousands of people who almost dedicate their lives solely to breaking shit by making awesomely strong and easy to copy builds that allow content to be trivialised. This will happen again.

imho ggg missed a chance, jewels should have been account bound to prevent an easy copying of builds long term.

yeah i think so too it should be bound and bound after usage

Then don't skip them.

Just saying.

Current version of PoE is certainly too easy and I'm hoping it will be getting harder with Awakening.

The part that is too easy is the regular grinding - either doing maps or leveling up through the story, the difficulty spikes of certain monsters, certain map bosses, certain quest bosses really highlight how little in the game is actually threatening.

Something is wrong with the leveling progression when a not particularly well designed or well equipped character can clear 4 or 5 areas without taking daamge without really paying attention, then enter an area with a certain monster type and suddenly struggle. The issue isn't with this single threatening monster, it's with all the monster types up to that point that don't offer any real resistance.

60s maps highlight the issue perfectly. I see no reason to ever play a 60s map, because merely getting a char to the end of the storyline (actually, just to merciless piety), pretty much guarantees that any 60s map, minus boss, will be boringly easy. And yet some of the 60s bosses will be functionally unbeatable for that same undergeared char for whom everything else in the map is a joke.

Low life crit ST coc with mjolner.

If you cant do this with a mjolner and non-retarded build, you might need to l2p better.

That build is just broken.
