the core concept of the game continues to remain the same: oneshot everything, speed clear and grind the maps one after another to hit new tier of content. To me is a chore, I would rather play 1 difficult map that encourages me to avoid monster damage and play smart and get rewarded for my effort with a huge amount of loot as oppose to play 10 maps with no effort and get little to no loot.

And that's totally fair, and I might even agree, but will likely never happen in PoE. I could point to several hints from GGG that their servers rely on monster dying faster than fast, and couln't handle a longer fight versus a pack of monsters. It would take a total rework of... Well... EVERYTHING to change this, from the engine, via skills, builds and balance, to the servers. And, of course, it would have to pass through the community, filled with speed junkies.

So when it comes to this, Santa might be a smarter place to start asking, especially if PoE 2 doesn't deliver on some of those points.

yeah, having seen the meager challenge rewards now, im definitely sitting this one out.
