Streamer and High Donator Favoritism?

Why are these guys given huge advantages with exp gained and drop rates?

Certain streamers/player go from level 1-70 in 6 hours not fishy at all
Certain players/streamers always get good drops and never run out of maps while 90% of Poe player base running lower maps while these fuckheads donated alot of money to the game so they get increased loot and exp and they think they good.

In last 2 week hc race seen a streamer go from level 70-100 running blue maps in solo mode and was able to sustain t11+ map pool with always at least 50 of these maps in his stash.

I understand why POE does this so players continue to stream/advertise their game and makes it where high supporters keep giving money. For an example if I guy has spent 1600$ and was getting crap loot do you think he would be willing to keep donating? Good loot and fast exp makes the donator happy and more prone to spend more money.

But can we please keep this out of the leagues and races ... players want a competitive play which is fair. It's not competitive when your bitch boys are getting advantages from paying money...


Been 2 days in new 2 week people already level 94-98 LOL . Even [Removed by Support] can see what is goin on

That's... That's basically a speedrun of all of the acts...

It takes a completely different playstyle to do that. You have to give up valuing anything except speed. You don't pick up stuff to ID and see if it's cool. You don't pick up currency that you MIGHT find a use for later. You just run for speed. You rely on your skills and knowledge of the game to get by stuff that other players think they need equipment for. You don't. You need to know how to "cheese" the fights rather than fight them.

Most players don't do this, so they look like they're playing really fast when really they're just playing it differently.

supported far over 1k, from the old t1 uniques i just got one bor (bringer of rain).
it took 5 years of playing to chance one headhunter (in legacy) and one skyforts (last temp leeague).

so far for getting the status symbols some people compare with success. my impression so far has been that the game is not giving me what i want so i keep playing and supporting.

those streamers sink unhuman hours into leveling characters for their audience, it's just normal that random luck strikes them more often.

beside, i still have to see a streamer with masses of supporter titles.

yeah... doesnt happen mate, everyones playing the same game.

Maybe watch those streamers and learn something from them. When I first started playing the game Id always have nugi or kripp on my second monitor and I learned an awful lot from listening to them talk about the game.

Don't forget the 5 Necropolis maps on top of that!

Not only do contributing members NOT gain any advantage in gameplay, GGG tends to also not give us any indication that they're listening to our input. They're more keen to engage in meaningful conversation about game balance with non-contributing members on other forums, than with contributing members on this one.

In the past I've expressed various opinions about why that might be. I generally don't denounce this pattern of theirs but it's fact.

I call bullox on this one.

Last season i was able to sustain t13+ maps once i had enough of them to start with and i ended up with 15 T16 maps after just 1 day of playing.

I was at 99% atlas bonus at this point in time and i started with 8 T15 maps, all of which i farmed myself, never ran out of t15 maps again,
either i got t15 maps from t13 map via +2 drops or just t15 maps in t15 maps.

I sold most of the t16 maps which were a huge profit anyway.

Made 300c a day simply by selling t16 maps, and a lot more later on by selling items i found slaying certain guardians on maps i farmed myself, from guardians i killed myself.

And the only money i spent on this game was for currency stash tabs and general stash tabs,
about 25$ total i would assume.

Considering im playing since beta, thats kinda laughable.
