Is this person bullshi**ting?

It is possible.
The first league I played I reached level 93, did Uber atziri and shaper.

Then I copy pasted the same build on ssf and rinse repeat in the same league - harbinger

BTW I made the build myself too. Nothing fancy, it was a cyclone slayer.

I mean there are people who have been here far longer than I and have never beaten shaper let alone uber elder.

I myself could have probably done exactly that if I didn't get bogged down identifying rares and running chaos recipe excessively in my first league as well.

I'm not saying they're telling the truth (it's the internet) but I am saying its not so unrealistic it must be a lie.

Or he/she has no life and knows how to implement what he/she googled.

[Removed by Support] the gear follow meta build, LOL poe is hard.

Poe isn't rocket science, but there's a ton to learn and thus plenty to digest. Just the other day I was responding to someone who has struggled for years, and it was likely them not appreciating the value of flasks in protecting against dots and ailment effects.

I'm on a PoE facebook group and this guy who apparently started playing 3 weeks ago was looking for a guild saying that he has no friends playing the game, he also said that he's running t16 maps on his lvl 91 Power siphon/KB pathfinder.

If you follow a guide its not too hard, I remember helping a guy out with his trickster build that he'd been playing for 3 weeks fairly recently here and his character had excellent development for a new player.

Really it all depends how serious you are and how you find your information, PoE Ninja will give you a developed build for practically any skill if your willing to parse it for example and gear on SC is so plentiful you can get amazing shit for a handful of chaos.

I've reached level 91 on my very first serious character during Incursion League. Don't really remember if I reached Guardian maps, but I think I did. I definitely remember doing some very high tier maps (not that it was a breeze of course). And I was playing quite casually - 2 - 3 hours in the evenings. No friends, but I did a lot of research and often asked questions on forums and Reddit.

friend of mine did by playing a meta build :')stopped a week later because it's boring lol can't blame him xd

I mean plenty of people could manage this , 16 days is plenty of time especially if they had already watched some streamers , read some guides , were even remotely familiar with any aspects of the game already .

t16 maps are not even that hard to clear lets be honest also KB wander while not a traditional starter is not that bad as a starter .

Just lol... POE is not hard not rocket science, nothing to learn.

Its Simple google build guild, google script to do everthing but move you, google a place to buy gear, Option make twitch account stream.

That person IS BULLSH/¤%#!"¤&%#¤¤% yes.
I played for much longer and I am still FAR from being on T16 Maps.
I´m still struggling with some of my Characters, and I´m still learning things.
And for each League I´m playing I´m learning something new and am getting better and better. And you know what? I´m far from any PRO in this game.

And yes, I am also watching YOUTUBE Videos and reading Guides and stuff, and tralalaallaa.
And the one thing that is the best, by far, in my opinion anyways, is actually the Play, Try, Get WIPED, Fail, and try again. You can watch as many Videos or read as much as you want, but this Fail and Try method beats everything. It is in fact NOTHING like it.

That's a bronze mindset - swear the only reason people are doing better than you is because they cheat.

Shit, if you really thought that's how everyone's experience is, why the hell would you even play?

I've not been a fan of the league but I did get a cheap thrill out of doing simulacrum twice deathless, mainly because of Kosis being a reasonable challenge compared to Sirus.

If you changed your perception and actually bothered to learn new things you might have made a lot more progress, but its easier to assume everyone that's better than you just cheats.

Just not worth it.... your lost and way off topic
