The evidence you have presented proves beyond a reasonable doubt that you have been driving your friends away from the game.

This is hilarious.

I've seen this friends list thing so many times... and...

I can't believe I never thought of this!

This is just steam, which accounts for just a fraction of the playerbase since the steam client causes issues with the PoE client (stopped using it ages ago because of this).

That's a pretty healthy number for non peak hours.

Still more than the new Call of Duty on release... Lol.

Shit, you're right, 12k is pretty pitiful for a multiplayer-oriented AAA title, that's less than half the number BO3 had on release. I knew the franchise was on a decline but this is worse than expected, unless everyone shifted to consoles or something.

Blizzard - Shitivision in Robert Kotick's capable hands turns everything to shit, surprise surprise.

I suppose so, first Black Ops was the last one that was any good in my book.

Can't say it's dying, but can say changes can/do piss people off. Decent builds are now worthless. immunities on monsters that shouldn't be immune. How the game is played, you must focus on one type of damage. This is were immunity can screw up your carefully built character.
And it's still the path of life nodes, but really far worse. Fortify 20% reduction in damage but monster damage ADDED 20%. So people using fortify will not see a difference, but people that don't will. You basically need extra 20%+ life, but the tree was never fixed for that. And now forced to get high hp on items as well. A roll that's almost impossible. I suck with melee but yet only melee can make it though deathless, all other builds pretty much die at least a few times.

Steam shows about 15,000 players. steam works perfectly fine for me. highest is 37,000. I think it was 2.0 that got the most in players. Now it's less than 1/2 that number. Would be interesting to know the totals of the non-steam groups. The guild i'm in, only 2 of us are playing, all the others have not come back.

I really wish they would build into the game a simple way to look at the guilds (where, what country, and how many active members-not members joined) and join by simply clicking a button.
I wish the same with selling items. Something built into the game to be able to sell items. since the odds of 2 players being online at the same time, needing and wanting the same item, is almost zero.

Me and my friends must have a special gift then,since we always manage to get items we need/want with almost no struggle... And we play hardcore leagues, where the playerbase is much smaller.

Can you explain this magic please?

GGG stopped banning bots therefore they have virtually more players playing, LUL.
