An open letter to casuals asking to dumb down the game or make rare items more common

Shags and Charan are right.

By the way, I identify myself as a cat that flies around to an irritating tune, shooting a rainbow out of its ass. Sometimes.

Ininity isn't a cardinal. There are trans-finite cardinals, but you can't "count to them".

"Counting to them" is really an idea for the Ordinals... a whole different ballgame.

Corrected. There you go.

HOPE THAT MY MESSAGE DOESN'T GET LOST IN THAT LITTLE CONVERSATION HERE, EHE HE...

I'm a cassual, and I couldn't agree more with OP.

Personally I hope that GGG will ramp up the difficulty again with the release of 3.0.

A ramp up to CB difficulty would be really nice to see, although I have my doubts that it will happen.

But with only one difficulty to play through it should really be at list slightly challenging, and not just faceroll until maps.

If you have less time to play, expect to get fewer items or be lower level.

Ps. Yes, that is my letter. Because quite frankly this is how simple this issue is. .-.

well, now that the grammar has been fixed, I can agree with this statement :)

An open letter to no-lifer folks trying to squeeze 'casual' players out of Path of Exile...

Please stop.

Build-defining items should be available on a spectrum of rarity. Not everyone who doesn't have the chance or desire to play the game twenty hours a day seven days a week wants to be relegated to itemless SSF junk-tier Flameblast all league erry league. We would like yo try cool and interesting stuff too.

Thank you for your (complete lack of) patience and understanding.

SSF Hardcore is for you, yet I'm not seeing you playing there Mr. Casual...

How so? To whatever extent GGG listen to the opinion of the person saying 'make rare items more common' it seems reasonable that another voice chiming in saying 'that person is wrong, don't listen to them' sets the community opinion counter back to 0.

It's moot in the sense that reddit and streamers probably matter more than the accumulated posts here, but like I said, the concept of moot-ness depends on whether or not the forums matter at all.
