How to get the value you deserve.

Yes, the best expansion and league ever IMO. Now to the OP. Especially newer players look at POE and think of this and that thing that could be better without the benefit of almost 10 years of information.

Do I like the "inconvenience" of trade? Not particularly. Or that the game is somewhat buggy? No. But I have learned how to mitigate crashes etc. by 1) not playing hardcore 2) learning to level up safely and to take risks when you have already hit your level goal. It is a hell of a lot easier to stomach one-shots, disconnects etc. when the downside is virtually zero. So, if I can give good advice...don't fight the system, make it work for you. That entails accepting what you might not think is perfect.

Now the real question is whether you will learn the easy way or the hard way.

If I could give you the equivalent of reddit-poe gold I would. Well said.

I think the OP makes one huge false assumption:
The value he sees in a game is only money in prizes. "Pixels" don't do it for him.
That's fine for a job, but the biggest value this game has is entertainment. If it stops being entertaining enough, it will lose players. Not if it never gives out any cash prizes.

I wouldn't be suprised if the OP expects to be paid for wtaching movies in a cinema, too.

whats the TLDR?

More at 11 (no doubt).

It is akin to a nasty recurring dream, really.

Do people honestly think he is the person getting trolled in his threads?

i did not read your entire wall of text but from what i red, you are complaining about prize money not distributed fairly.

99% of gamer are spending money, getting into this world means to spend money on digital stuff(purchasing game or purchasing stuff in the game), for example: i spent 50 euro on poe buying stash and some cosmetic and so far i played poe for 280 hours and poe 2 is coming later this year which adds more value to my money, i got my money's worth.

if you are getting into gaming world know that it is very hard to earn money out this, because this world is intentionally designed to get money out of you, rather than giving money to you.

I'll explain how the community can get the value it deserves from this product. ... (petition) (events..events...events...prize-money for events... events... events..<sic>>..

What?

So, let me get this straight:

You're saying that in order to get the value that I deserve "Events" are the way... Events that I have neither the time nor willingness to participate in and events that are dominated by "power players" and streamers who generally double-dip by monetizing their streaming of events?

And, not only can I not participate in these events, the only possible way at all I could get any "value" from them would be to watch the streams coming from the players playing the game during these events... which means I'm not actually playing the game during that time at all?

To sum: Either I can't get any value at all from such a thing or in order to get value should such a thing become more common, I would have to not play the game this suggestion is supposed to be adding value to.

Note: I also play on Xbox, so this suggestion is not helpful in the least. But, it is hilarious in how little thought went into creating it.

Think we should get a go-fund-me started for Kopo. He seems to think he deserves it.
