Why I'm no longer buying supporter packs
" But it is pay to win. you are paying for a rather large advantage over other players. if you some how think the ye oldie system of procurement / acquisition / tradeforums are even close to the same level .. then you are delusional. not everyone has access to money.. did you think about that? not everyone is an employed 20 - 60 something person with disposable income. you cant assume that they do. Hell before i had a job frivolous spending was largely regulated by my parents back when I was 14.... and i can tell from experience they would have said no to stash tabs. its not about us having 1000s of points . I have 90+ active stash tabs. That is not the point. The point is the other people .. you know the f2p part of the f2p model. free users make up the backbone of a game.. for every whale like me there is a sea of regular fish out there. Making this out to be a minor thing makes me feel like you are more than a bit out of touch on this subject and i would suggest .. as the meme goes .. checking your privilege because you clearly need too. just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't mean it doesn't matter period |

I've been supporting the game since closed BETA, and taken long breaks. I think one thing I give GGG is they fixed desync when many thought it would never happen. I take the game for what it is - one of about 5 of my favorite games I play on rotation.
I dislike PvP is pretty much dead and they haven't addressed it or tried to make it a LITTLE more appealing but I get it - its hard to balance on ARPG's. Atleast come up with something fun like capture the flag and give like huge damage mitigation to make it interesting. You could also have some 5 vs 5 guild vs guild PvE challenges IE; whichever guild clears a map or kills X bosses faster wins - some type of competitive challenge/ranking system would add much needed end game for me. I also dislike the end game in path, but I give them credit again for adding more to do, more to the game and improving it somewhat. For me the drop rates and trading go hand in hand tied to end game. The game has had improved drop rates and essences also made crafting more viable for solo players once again improvements. The premium tab integration with poe.trade was also a nice improvement, if that had not happened I would rate trading 1/10 in this game I've hated it, but with it I'd say its atleast manageable now. I would like to see better drops/loot, and a more entertaining vs grinding end game. The game is very grindy the fact is though unless it is people leave. Look at D3 and D2, games you can power level and obtain gear very quickly most players play for a week or two and are done. UNFORTUNATELY unless the game is somewhat grindy and difficult player bases will spike and drop constantly - the grind is essential to longevity withlong term players. That doesn't mean it cant get better. My BIGGEST annoyance with the game is melee is and has been broken and annoying.

" Very nice post. I can't write it better. GGG: plz make all that stuff as mentioned, I can pay 10$ monthly subscription for QUALITY. My only personal thing when I become "premium ( paying ) member" plz don't punish my deaths by exp lost, grinding lvl 100 is enough punishment with current exp ratios. | |

It's funny. An ARPG at it's core is about trading and loot and character development. All 3 of these things feel like shit in PoE.
Dynamic Environment - Day/Night, Rain/Lightning - http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/110100
GGG's design philosophy in three words: Quantity over Quality. |

i actually like the passive side of it
the linking system has never been my favorite because of what it does to random drops after a while. |

" [Removed by Support] Trade is totally not what every ARPG should be about, and no matter what GGG does about trade people [Removed by Support] will [Removed by Support] always whine. To me the otehr 2 things you mention are the best in any ARPG ever made, but sure I guess you play this game because it's so bad right. Nothing is wrong with loot to me, maybe the spam of useless uniques, but those have been in every game. Nostalgia is a mind trick you know. I'd like a game without uniques, but then people like you would also complain right? [Removed by Support] Just all that hate the game SO much, why do you all keep playing and posting, just LEAVE PLEASE [Removed by Support] to the forum of the best ARPG out there ... o wait this is the best ARPG out there I guess that makes sense you can't go anywhere else anymore. Anyays I expect a forum ban for defending the game and trying to fight all the hate-spreading scum of the earth trying to destroy the game they hate so hard they play it every day. The game has never been so active, I've had the most fun in Atlas, I think they did a wonderful job and it hurts to see all this hate. You know what would help every single game out there? A counter of how many people currently playing (aka enjoying) the game and then a counter of all the people spreading sickness on their forum and compare the numbers. Yes literally thousands time more people have fun in the game right now than people complaining getting level 100 is best done in yellow maps or that paying for premium tabs is a crime against the free to play moral values of your ballsack. Yet all the devs and casual forum browser sees is hate hate hate. [Removed by Support] Last edited by CJ_GGG#0000 on Nov 23, 2016, 12:11:57 AM

+2
1) for some quality feedback 2) for withdrawing support which is what more unsatisfied customers need to do for this game to get back on track. Blindly throwing money at GGG has resulted in a lackadaisical development team that believes they can design the game around making $$$ and still draw supporters when in actuality the game should be designed around making the greatest game they can make which in turn will bring in $$$. |

First off, sorry it wasn't very cleaned up or refined, just a rant.
I do love GGG/the game. I don't feel my money has been wasted in the slightest. I reallllllyyyyy hope in the future they blow my mind, restore all my love & I start throwing moneys at the screen again! After a day of thinking/reflection. It's TRADE!!!! I'm actually 'fine/happy' with the 'faster pace' of PoE. Sure I prefer how others like Grim Dawn feel more 'chunky/meaty' with there combat. But the idea of 'bigger' mobs with 'synergies attacks' even in white groups, is a good direction that can be refined. The game is SOO built around, trade. The drops/sockets, no even having access to all gems from vendors, the rare enough for millions of players 'good drops'. Would all be 'fine', if there was a 'flowing' trade in game. If the trade was 'fast paced' it'd fit in the game. At the moment, it's slow & frustrating time you have to spend OUT the game, then stopping mid game. Mobile Phone Chat & Trade App!!! OMFG this would soooooo do it for me! Not only can I keep in game and just look at another screen. Being able to poop while selling stuff, would (sadly I've got to admit) really rock my world. ;-P The other big one, is... 'Something to chase over the long term'. To lvl 100 just seems boring by itself. What do you do when 100? Get Demigods and AFK in town? I'd love a 'grind gear' system where it had talent tree's N things to farm. Ok it doesn't HAVE to be a grind gear system. Just SOMETHING more focused on many months/years of play. The games soooo focused on race/ladder the go's flat. Hell it doesn't even HAVE to be power gain focused, just progression. Maybe colours/glows/looks. Idk exactly, just SOMETHING, to keep polishing/loving our 'mains'/favs. Something to keep chasing and progressing. Auto-Loot. Ok just a 'idea'. I'd love any QoL on ANYTHING that I 'click the same f'in thing every time I see it'. Aura's, minions etc on load. Only 'build' I love in D3, is a gold finder/massive pickup range, using gold as armor/exp & heals. I LOVE that it lets me 'focus on the gameplay' not clicking shit on the ground I always pickup. (Currency not gear) Map Highlight. It was added (and loved) for atlas. Could mousing over maps in the bank highlight same? " ^- It's the 'ethics' not the money. I LOVED for years being able to say 'GGG's cash shop doesn't give ANY player advantage. I'd rather give them MORE money than pay for this whale hugry MMO' It's changed how I feel inside myself about giving $ to GGG. They went from a 'hero' and full 110% respect from me to... well I dunno. Another thing on this. The no GIFTS in Shop, means I can't just by friends one when they start the game. As for your dig at me for I'm guessing Trump. Your EXACTLY the problem! Ignorant, narrow minded, forcefully shutting down ANY convo about anything that isn't your agenda. Let people talk, and say what they actually think. You don't have to agree, but you can open more convo on points you think you see a better way. Rather than just being abusive, having others keep to themselves, then get shocked at the outcome. Example: Here's WHY I care more about pay to win/dirty feeling from GGG than Trump. - This is a PoE/GGG forums, it's been realllllly good over the years with the dev's actually reading/making things better for there players. - Trump won't have a Atlas, so even if 'nuked them all', I'll be safe. Ok, bit teasing but. Can fit 1 person per 2km (Around 1mile). 50megaton nuke bomb is as 'big/wide' as they get, as they go thru the stratosphere and vent to space, not getting any wider. I'm much much further away from anything with any 'tactically' reason to nuke. N the'd much more likely use one of the 'old/weak/cheap' nukes for around here due to cost. - People seem to know Trumps a bit silly. So they will be much less likely to listen to him/follow him, particularly on dumb plans. (That's my hope anyway) - Money. This is the one I'd worry about personally if I was a 'merican. Over here, I think we sell 40% of the stuff we make to china. We are on a 'gold standard' for our money. Meaning we have a rare 'item' to backup our cash. Ya's are printing more and more money by the trillion, with nothing to back it up cept a smile & nod. Ya's also owe china a crapload. Oh and ya shadow budget is HUGE and getting bigger, tho can't say if that's good or bad as ya know, it's a secret. ;-P - Bee's. We sell/export you them to you by the tons. Ya's should take better care of them! - Our Crocks' are bigger N scarier than your 'gators. Ok, not a important thing, but lots more fun to talk shop about! - World Feels. I actually/care hope/feels more for NZ and the earthquakes. |

I refuse to buy another item from the shop until Necros get some QOL improvements and buffs

It would be nice if we can improve the trading system, buyer clicks 'Buy' and the item is sold for you without having to interrupt your game and respond or even be online. When you log in it would show you what has been sold. In town or hideout there would be a 'trading board' you can look at which is synchronized with poe.trade or whatever the new system is called.
I'm also having a frustrating time with the trading system, since it's needed to reach higher levels (approx level 50+). People not responding or if they do they say wrong price/sold out and increase price, etc. I am new to the game and this is my main concern. |
