People really need to stop using 'free game' as a defense for anything. F2P is a monetisation strategy, it is not a company bestowing their game on us out of the kindness of their hearts. It's really dumb.

The way you keep resetting the Atlas and wrecking my builds and invalidating all my work every league is absolutely horrendous.

I hate your leagues, and the idea of grinding for now reason just to reset everything every 3 months. I only play Standard, I would never play leagues, I find leagues insulting. Not only because you keep deleting people's work, but you also bring new mechanics only in leagues, which is elitist and scummy. I absolutely absolutely ab so lu te ly hate how you're destroying the game because of these leagues and the way you port content to Standard. It's like playing an endless early access game where save files can be wiped out no remorse.

I'm sure it's not programming failure on your part, but rather design failure. Judging by the scummy mechanics you keep shoving, like the mind tricks in the Lab, or the very idea of building a game around a marketplace that doesn't exist.

OK, the marketplace. You started me. So you force players to buy instead of find, or craft. Because of infinitely slow grind and insane RNG. It's like one of those horrorshow F2P games.. Oh wait, it is a F2P game! A game where getting items [that affect gameplay!], needs to go thru 14 y.o. jerks from Hell, who are not willing to trade. Trading in PoE is the single worst feature of any game I've ever played.

Is PoE 2 going to be exactly the same endless early access Hell, and no automated marketplace?

Oh look, an elitist schmuck that can't even break 40 challenges talking trash to casual players.

Swear to Carl Sagan, you are the folks I hate most in this game.

I'm not seeing anything in here that reduces the pressure to run T14-T16 maps. My biggest issue with the endgame right now is that it pushes everyone into running the most dangerous content available, even if they're not comfortable with that, and the Delirium mechanic isn't going to help with that. I think this is at the root of many of the one-hit kill complaints, where people are being pushed by the mechanics into running T14-T16 before getting the gear to be able to do that safely. The change to awakening levels to be number of watchstones/4 is going to mean that there's no good way to run yellow maps with an awakening level of 0.

I'm also unsure why I would ever complete Awakening Bonus Objectives on purpose; increasing the effect of modifiers seems like a good way to make the endgame more deadly without any way to back off if you realize you've gone too far.

If you want to make the game harder for the no-lifers, ADD content that does this, but altering the base content to push a majority of the more casual players away is ALWAYS a bad business decision.
