The 97% that haven't include everyone that's ever logged in via Steam (including bots). Considering most people don't even make it to maps, 3% is unsurprising.

That's already more than what I expected.

Eh, I’ve been playing since closed beta and I’ve never even fought the Shaper, let alone won the fight. The world is full of people who aren’t really that bothered about getting to the pinnacle of every game, shouldn’t really be surprising.

More games need to be like this. Making everything accessible means making the game boring. Nothing feels like an accomplishment if 90%+ of players achieve it.

Heck look at dark souls achievements, 3-5% give up after every boss lol

Seconded. Never killed the Shaper, always made someone else do the kill. The very few time I've interacted with the Shaper was because my carrier did an oopsie and asked us to cull him for us.

When I entered the arena, I saw a guy in a bathrobe teleporting even faster than Sirus (before Sirus existed). The moment I clicked on the screen I died because of... something. I don't know what, my game did not even managed to parse the graphic that I was already stone dead.

That happened twice. The second time, I accepted I don't really want to mess with him and left it under a "carry this" check on every league the bugger pops up as a challenge.

Maybe I can try at Standard with some of my character and see what the battle is like. But, frankly, I'd rather facetank the Elder. It's incredible how the game gets easier against melee bosses when you build Evasion + Blind.

I've been playing for going on seven years and never killed Shaper. I could probably kill him if I wanted to, but I don't want to do what it takes to get there. I don't even know how to get there, other than it involves grinding a lot of maps, which is something that sucks.

There are several other bosses I read about on the forums, but have never killed.

I usually get tired of character by early maps. Or I just think of something else I want to try. If I do maps, it's not more than 1-3 in a day. Five in day would be well above average.

I just don't have any strong desire to do what people call end game.

Lots of players don't even make to act 2 because they are overwhelmed by the complexity of the game and leave.

Lots of players who stay finish the story then call it done.

Lots of players who keep playing after the story can't progress further than yellow maps, getting to red maps is a goal for a lot.

Not to mention that you need knowledge to even spawn Shaper, you need to kill the guardians, lots of players can't even do that.

Shaper fight is not easy if you don't know what to do, so even if you get to red maps, know that you need to kill all guardians and spawn Shaper, chances are you will die on your first try.

when Christ says "people never really leave path of exile", he is wrong.

millions of people play this game and decide to quit, forever.
