Why is this game so easy?

What not dying? I was doing Uber Elder / 500 depth / all mods 8 mod t16 in 60% IIQ gear already in Delve. Power creep has tripled since then.
There is no "difficulty" in this game.

Now get all your gear/craft it, gems, enchants yourself instead of farming dried lake and buying all that stuff from someone else like trash noob. Then you pick melee & come back with ez. And holding left mouse button is easy, will give you that.

I'm missing a chromosome to do that. There's no extra "difficulty" in SSF or HC or SSFHC. It's just walking 10x more than you normally would and nothing else.

Do I want to play a walking simulator for 10 hours? Nope, I don't want to do that even for an hour, which is why I quit.

Even if the game wasn't shit like it is now, it would be boring for me because I enjoy doing business and a dead / non-existing market would make me leave.
Might as well play Grim Dawn or the other upcoming ARPGs which are already WAY BETTER than Path of Exile in every possible aspect, just not fully released / online yet.

If you feel game is too easy. Add restrictions to your spec/class/gear.

Is it still too easy if you go max 4 link, non shaper/elder rares, no uniques etc ?

Guess what? You can make this game pretty much as hard as you want it to be. On top of that there is the option of private leagues with lots of added modifiers. Still too easy? Well then. I guess you are too advanced for us.

Why does one have to pretend to be retarded to find difficulty in the game? I don't see this argument in any other game except Path of Exile.

I leveled an Inquisitor up to 81 and I am one shotting everything. I can try Elder and Shaper but why should i bother boring, non-challenging content to face a single boss? In other arpgs, you can fight bosses whenever you want and enjoy your loot. I see non of those happening without mindless boring days of grind.

Here's the thing,

PoE is a game focused on loot, as such if all the pretty gear was just handed to you, there'd be little reason to play. Games of this nature are repetitive by design.

If you only run low tier maps, you're going to be bored because you aren't pushing into more challenging content. Having never experienced said content you feel no desire to do so... However it also means you'd be unlikely to be able to complete the harder content since you lacked the drive to get there in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I've hated rebuilding the atlas and starting from scratch every league I played. Most of the skill in a game like this is not so much on reaction and movement but on knowledge and understanding. Some folks can hit 100 in just days, and I can accept I'll never hit that level of motivation.

But I also know that once I had my bearings in PoE that only a handful of end game bosses manage to actually provide real challenge. Beating them all completely solo made the often monotonous journey worthwhile.

Make the claim that the game is easy all you want, deep down you know why you really haven't managed to beat shaper, and he's like the baseline.

you can buy shaper and uber atziri sets,no need to grind. i'm willing to bet that you wouldnt be able to complete it on the first try and probably not even the second. you can also buy T16 guardian maps,try those after you vaal them and see how easy they are.

yes the basic game itself is easy,pretty much any build can make it to end game and the grinding is boring i agree ,but the end game bosses are not easy unless you have practice

When you will be at level 100 then I will agree with you. For now is just big BS.

Because hard games get less players unless their difficulty is a core construct of their appeal.

At this stage PoE's idea of extremely difficulty is picking melee, which while it is pretty bad in comparison is still actually pretty easy.

SSF can raise the challenge depending on your methodology but sadly i have to agree with kissmequick, all it does is increase the amount of time you spend tooling about before you do XYZ.

Racing is pretty much the only area where SSF has substantially increased difficulty because you have your own ghetto ass drops but your still forced to push on by the challenge of the race. If you can do it at your own pace its pretty relaxed.

Why does this thread exist? I don't see any HC char in OP's list.

why is this topic so focused on HC? HC in this game is cancer. no matter how skilled a player is,they will still die to lag/freeze/betrayal lag etc,not to mention if you played for a while then you know that you can just log out if you know you're going to die

And HC makes it worse. Are you doing boring content in sc? Now triple it in HC.

I sgguest you stop playing immediately :) maybe play chess?
