The Dunning-Kruger effect gives insight into complaints about POE

On the PoE forums, everybody assumes both things: that they are awesome at PoE, and that tasks that are easy for them are easy for everyone else.

In other words you have a bad computer/internet connection? Because I am not having any of these issues. Have there been very rare occurrences where the server crashes? sure. But my daily play experience is largely seamless. My point is that people need to take responsibility for themselves and think about the possibility that they are the problem, not the game? Or does that offend your entitlement too much?

Well when people who do have high end gaming rigs who have NEVER had any issues with this game up until this prophecy patch dropped all of a sudden start having major lag and crashes and performance issues its kinda hard to just assume it all in your head and your computer is to blame.. Especially when it runs WAY more demanding games without any issues what so ever. I guess my computer took a shit at the exact same time as the patch dropping... what a coincidence.

Ever thought the patch is only affecting some setups? even if they are high end... Thats whats puzzling.. I know plenty of people running on MUCH less than what im running and they have the best exp they have ever had. While im stuck with a shitty exp and wish the game would just go back to before when i had no issues.
Hopfully the next patch will fix it... Since the ONLY thing so far that has helped my issues is playing with NO SOUND! oh wait.. They updated the sound engine... Nah your right its definitely MY COMPUTER to blame. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the sound engine change.... You obviously fall into the former as well..

TIL complaining about the bugs, performance issues, server issues with a game = overestimating one's skill.

Ever tried doing the Jungle Valley bossfight with a Ball Lightning build? I have a PC that can run Metro: Last Light on max settings, and the game slowed to a slideshow when I tried. Face it, the engine is very poorly equipped to handle its own visual spam. If you're not getting performance issues, you're just not trying hard enough.

lol calling ppl unskilled while playing most cookie cutter coc build. How bout come up with something on your own? Anyone can build CoC and run the ant farm like a drone. Just takes time.

No I dont like lab because I dont have time. I have RL duties a small kid and like being able to pause with portals any instant. I don't like lab because rewards suck. No exp a chance in hell of right craft.

All in all there is little skill in PoE. Just math, ask mathil. You want skill go play SC2.

OP = troll click bait.
