Who is Charan and why he left?

Charan is become something of a dog whistle for nostalgic gamers who want to pretend to be 'old school' poe supporters, who really know how the game should be developed and played, and pretend some sense of superiority and/or knowledge. At least, that is what it has become. Charan's actual posts were rarely that way.


Most of these forum warriors are probably in their teens and still think their opinion matters or people care what experience they have in the game, as if playing a set amount of time in their own style relates to wisdom in courting an international audience of gamers who care nothing about how poe 'used to be', or why you think D3 is bad.

Basically he's a rich guy with some issues, with a need of feeling important, if to believe your text

Not their teens...

I remember I read a study about "forum trolls" about 5 years ago. Ok...In fact it was about people posting their opinions and the quantity of it with a quantitative measurement of the "quality" of the post. I remember that I literally got a good laugh when I read that the typical aggressive poster is a 30-38 years old man, single, college educated, living in a city and having a non supervisory job. I remember vaguely that the 20-30 years old group was the 2-3 lines posts with a poor logic. I wish I could find that study again.

BTW, I would enjoy very much playing HC POE with two conditions: 1 - Implementation of a LSC and DESYNC mechanism (I know, it is asking for the moon) and eliminating the impossible to avoid 1-shot kill and make an emphasis on the player skills.

Thank you

Summary of Charan:

Donates 10s of thousands of dollars to GGG
Creates anime waifu swords for the game that have strange writing; it's not a great leap to imagine that this is one of his perversions
Apparently wrote a book, I read the first page on Amazon, it's horrible
Constantly complains and meticulously details how his swords should be introduced into the game
Doesn't like how they were introduced, publicly calls GGG employees idiots, to which GGG responds that he should stop being an asshole
Constantly writes useless and pedantic posts on the forums
Has rage quit the forums multiple times, repeatedly insulting normal people who just like to play the game
Gained a following of people that like him because there is a prestige in having the forum badge that he had for donating so much to the game, additionally he has received so much hate that many view him as a sort of underdog to root for
Despite all of these things, has never gotten past yellow maps or a character to level 80
