And that's why I don't sink a lot of currency into maps :D

if casual players can beat the game by leveling a char to 100 in a temp league where is the challenge for no-lifers?
to have the same carrots for casuals and nolifers, ggg would have to split the game into two with separate difficulties. which is highly unlikely.

once and for all:
if you get to maps in this game you are no fucking casual (in terms of games in general).
also pls explain who you consider hardcore and who casual? what qualifies you to be in one or the other group?

a player can be casual when it comes to skill and he can be casual when it comes to time spent on the game.
my comparison was against the latter because i compared it to nolifers.
on a related note: calling someone a nolifer not necessarily implies he's a skilled player.

even ppl who only play this game 2 hours a day (lol) can get to 100 or T15 maps.

generally true, but i was refering to temp leagues.

i can't stand this shit "i am doing it right and all others are some plebs, filthy casuals. get on my level."

if you were refering to me, i see myself as a casual player when it comes to playstyle and skill.
and with my limited time i just made it to tier 11 maps in talisman myself.
because i neither had the luck to chance/find something good nor the time to trade myself to the specific map level.
the 5 exalts/voltaxic i found went into a 6 link chest and a windripper.

then others, who invest way more time might never see a T15 map

that was the point i was refering to.
if ggg would provide high level maps to everyone, casual players like me would get a unbelievable boost.
the excitement when buying that tier 12 map, having the gear to handle it and hoping for good map drops would be gone.

at least xp is not rng gated

a big draw back if you ask me.
harder maps should give more xp while white maps should provide access to high level items but have negative xp.

^ ôO ... you are excited atm when you find someone on poe.trade or in /trade 1 who sells you a T12 map?


Do you feel the disappointment afterwards too, when everything you get in return is... mud geysir*?



Peace,
