Who else is not going to play PoE anymore because of the lab?

I personally really enjoy the lab but what I personally don't like is it has been made mandatory to get ascendancy points.

I mean it should be just another way to play and not be mandatory IMO.

Thus said drops in Uber lab were heavily nerfed it seems so apart from going there to get points (don't get me started on enchants the chance to get something you need is so stupidly low) and move on to good old maps...

It sucks that the lab ruins the game for you. It happens sometimes. I'd recommend giving it one more shot once Prophecy is out to see if the changes make it something you can live with.

Funny, cause as we know now they added another even crazier lab version to push down our throats. This time way more dangerous with insane trials. And to make it suck alittle extra they made this challenge so that tanky marauders with life regen and such will have no problems with it, while the rest of us are basically screwed.

I honestly hate the uber lab trials lol. Sucks with an evasion character

Really, I hate this also. With my previous build ( Tank-Templar - over 8,3 k life, powerfull armour and huge life regen ) I had no problem. But, actually, with my witch -elementalist ( over 5,3 k life and near 2 k ES ) lab is a horrible. I died three times during my last three attempts.In effect I've decided to stop playing PoE. I'm 45 y. old, my patience is limited, and always I hate this playing -style like Donkey-Kong etc.
I wanna play a classic H&S.

Remove the lab and make it a takedown thingy where you have to kill several things on your OWN.
And change the challenges so ppl need to do them and cannot pay anymore so someone else is doing it for them.
It is called CHALLENGE.

Oh no don't start this. Now some guy will pop up and start explaining how important traps were in the old RPGs and what a huge favor GGG are doing to the older gamers by bringing them back. You cant win against that.

It's about as fun as running a two hour escort quest, not hard at all just ANNOYING as all hell. I supposed if you are/want to run a handful of classes it is fine but as it stands I really think that it adds nothing to the game. I've been playing this game since alpha and while I have had issues with some changes the "maze" just seems lazy. Personally if this is the direction forward I'm going to just have to go elsewhere. The lab is a piece of shitty toilet paper stuck to the bottom of a pretty girls shoe when she walks about of the bathroom.

Havent played since it came out. Getting that itch back though.

Who here has actually stopped playing with the shitty lab as the main reason?

I haven't been on for over a month, almost 2 I would guess. (If they removed the lab, or made it a freak sideshow instead of walling ascendency points and enchants, I might consider playing again instead of salting the forms.)

While I'm not for removing the lab completly I must admit that the latest nerf to uber lab in the drops at the end makes it pretty much useless.

Here is an example of waste of time and currency (5 keys full run uber lab):
