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

I've been advocating for a long time to make acquiring items easier, but the game itself harder (and not through untelegraphed one-shots). Make skill matter more than playtime. But yeah, maybe that is too complex. I would agree with you, but average people don't want challenge...they want items. People play slot machines despite the process being binary and relatively boring. People want the prize and don't care much for the process (the average person i'm talking about). Similarly if you made the game more challenging, but items easier to get you wouldn't have the "addiction" that is POE. The game would still be good, but it would have far less people playing it for longer duration. You are unfortunately probably right. While I would most likely play the game more, I am probably not a very typical player. Remove Horticrafting station storage limit.	Posted by Char1983 on Mar 8, 2017, 1:30:31 PM Quote this Post

Tabula never counted since they are more common.

I have seen a fair amount of QQ from nolifers wanted entitlement for playing +6k hours and no mirror drop in the past.

A full-time worker and a casual worker can both be equally knowledgeable, motivated, experienced and professional - the only difference is that one is able (or is forced, or chooses) to spend more or less time at it.
