Why is the Rogue Harbor a Hub, and can I please turn it off.

I normally don't have issues with POE. The game is smooth, with the occasional hitch. This changes whenever other players are involved. Any number of other players in an area tanks my performance and massively increases loading times. It regularly takes me 2-3 min to get into Oriath in the epilogue.

This problem is also happening with "The Rogue Harbour"; My performance tanks and my mood with it. Please, please just give me a toggle to make my own instance. I don't care if I'm missing out on the interactivity of seeing other players. I'll happily sacrifice that for reasonable load times.

I will say: I'm liking the league, although I'm only in act 3. This is the main thing turning me off of it.

i think ggg will fix it

I really don't like it. It's supposed to be sneaky and exclusive, and yet there's 20 people running around dressed up like peacocks.

I really can't think of a game reason why they would want it that way. Should have worked like the other starting areas, like Delve or Bestiary.

cause of money... they need to show their peacoks, to sell more peacoks

Interactivity LOL - they just want you to see the MTX you can buy.

No one interacts in this game - it's a single player pos.

The stash is in an awful position as well. Takes 20+ attempts to open the thing, then you can get blocked in by other players afterwards.

Needs to be moved asap and the Heist box needs to be in our hideouts as well.

Yeah. I was hoping to be able to customize it.

Edit: Also not being able to use movement skills in the area is a minus.

i 100% agree. and, all the people around the stash make it so i cannot use my stash
it sucks. i hope they fix it. or, let us have the fence and the lady that opens the portals, in our hideout, with the heist locker. that would be best. leave the harbor as a hub but let us invite those two NPC's to our own hideout.

+1 to be able to do this in hideout.

They need to remove player collision in the harbor just like in town.
