Grinding Gear Games Exposed: The true goal of Path of Exile.

All diablo style games prey on our lust for "the next best item" or lead some board etc. We're all obviously playing these games for things like that. Wether that's soemthing worth your lifetime is up to you to decide. If you get addicted, which easily happens with certain computer games and people, stay off or seek help.

I am not sure what "our next best item" has to do with literal trash that liters your screen or items that have some value but really don't. I think you didn't understand my post but that is ok.

I like that you say you're "moving on" but also you've been playing "since there were only 3 acts." LOLOLOL AAAAAAAAND you're still replying to this thread that YOU started. If you want to move on, then do so, and stop coming back to this site. I'm new to the game, and loving it!!! I'm a Diablo player. Since... ya know, 1998ish, but I'm "moving on" until D4 comes out :) And I think PoE is actually fan'f'king'tastic so far for the 2 months I've been playing! Cheers.

I actually check this for entertainment. This might actually shock you beyond your comprehension but the forums and the game are two different entities.

True, and I hope you are (were?) a lot better at playing the game than you are the forum. Still, stick with it. Forum skills don't come overnight either. You have to waste a LOT of time here to get as adept at forum usage as, well, let's be honest, Me. ^_^

Humble but honest. You are a god at all things and anyone else's opinions do not matter if they conflict with your own. :)

And the answer is no. I sucked at the game because I decided to pick up things. A vital mistake.

OP is right.
And GGG need to do something with this mess, long ago need.

Right after 1st zone in the Act 1 you'll stop picking up white items.
At the Act 2 - blue items
At the act 3 - not all rares
After you'll start mapping - you wouldn't pick up 99% of loot, include "uniques" - and for this you will be FORCED to use loot-filters with pretty hard rules. I can't even imagine - how bad time every console player has there...

Usual stuff: T10+ map, you have killed pack of monsters. You see 2-3 names on the ground, maybe some currency and some unique. You pressing Alt (just for lulz) and... literally WHOLE screen, whole damn 1950*1080 screen becomes filled with names and additionally half of that - behind the visible screen.
And this is one pack only - how many of them on the map?

FFS GGG! Doesn't all of that mess affects negatively on FPS, latency, and overall gameplay stability???

As a famous movie general once said "You can't handle the truth!" Most wouldn't recognize the truth even if they were smacked upside the head with it. But some really do resemble the remark "dumber than dirt" (I believe that's how a no-nothing got to be pres in America).

If you think the goal of the GGG devs was to create an arpg for "fun and profit" then think again. I believe the 3 founders started out with that lofty goal in the beginning but today with well over 100 employees (and counting) GGG is all about the money (else they'd be closed down by the end of the week). First and formost is that everything is done with an eye toward leveraging mtx sales. Perfect example is mystery boxes (loot box mtx) for which there is considerable discussion around the world over these being a form of gambling that should be regulated (and is already banned in 2 countries).

If you take what Chris has said over time in isolation from the other devs then we'd have an arpg that hardly anyone would reach level 100 in the 3 month challenge expansion. While it is true that GGG foobar'ed the Betrayal endgame and way too many reached 100, going totally in the opposite direction and making the grind next to impossible (maybe a few 18+ hr/day racers could do it but that's all) is a path that GGG should never go down (Path of Oblivion). Just how the hell would GGG catch more flies mtx sales with vinegar than with honey?

Indeed! Like IQ! As in, how everyone sees IQ as being one singular scope, but in reality, there are people with higher IQs, and then there's those with lower IQs who think sticking around forums of games they no longer play is a unique form of entertainment! Good for you, bless your simple heart :D Cheers.

Path of Exile is designed to capture your soul when a player gets to maps .
