Case study: Resentment after GGG, Twitch and Streamers made viewers watch for days without any discernible or quantifiable progress, degraded chat into illegible spam.

Things that come to mind (with common chat spam) :-

Drops are entropy based. (I've watched for 42 hours, wtf ggg)
Make clear in announcements how users will be notified of rewards. (how do i know if ...?)
Give users clear indications that the system is currently working. (idle or not) (ublock/adblock)

Yum Gibbs!
You have been awarded 1x Verdant Helmet

after 4h, yeah!!!
Got my hat this morning around 40+ hours

Infernal Helm


Thanks GGG

To be fair, I think the rolling thing should be on Twitch's end. Just have a Die rolling gif in the corner or something that keeps going to indicate you're rolling for whatever the game has at the moment, with a distinctive state for "winning" something.
You guys really don't get the long term results of something like this. Yeah, you get a hat for afking. But more importantly, POE shows up on twitchtv's popular channels and brings an influx of NEW PLAYERS to an old game. More players, more money, more expansions, more fun. So go support the game thats free to play so you can keep playing.

Eactly. This is just a marketing ploy from GGG. Kudos to GGG for luring in new players and scamming old ones.
Just got mine after like 30h of afk on twitch.
