Is PoE the only game where people flock to it then try to change it at its core?
What a bunch of BS.
I give you an example: after all these years, I still need to unsocket a gem, socket portal gem in, to return hideout. Every goddamn map. Why? Because it's surely too much QoL to give portal as feature and I don't have spare sockets for the gem. Like, every goddamn ARPG nowadays has autosort button, but for PoE, people are willing to make up ANY excuse. In fact, PoE design philosophy relies so heavily on outsiders, that they have coders making build planners and actual damage estimates outside the company, since GGG won't do it at all. I don't even bother reporting bugs, anymore. Last edited by vmt80#6169 on Mar 13, 2021, 2:34:10 PM

I remember the TQ:IT forums were a lot like this. People would suggest outrageous changes to the classes.

" Is RNG at the core of the currency+crafting system? Yes. Is trade friction at the core of trade? Yes. Is picking up items at the core of the item+loot system? Yes. Although they welched on that in Metamorph league. Yeah I'm sure - no need to shoot the messenger. |

You play the game they develop or you don`t, it isn`t that hard. also forums are made to give the feeling of being listened to players, just like when she told you that she loved you, yet none of the two situations are actually true.

Alright maybe this is an arpg phenomenon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyghD-4UBIk Starting at 33:50 the guy goes through itemized feedback/change requests from people who took the survey about Diablo II resurrected. It's like 70% people wanting the game to be easier, literally trying to turn D2R into D3 before it's even released. |

definitely not... pretty much every game is like that.
I have never felt further from what I know and love

" I think 2 of my characters have ever used the gem. Changing sockets to go back to town is a nightmare; just use the scrolls. We're all in this leaky boat together, people.

That you'd even ask this tells me you either need to play more games, or be thankful you don't. Or you're just being facetious to make a point...
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |

" Really? In here? That would be a first. Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.

" Who are you talking about? The people that complained about Harvest and got it nerfed? Cause GGG must have had intended for Harvest to be like it was in 3.13 first, because they had tested it before already. They aren't that dumb that they couldn't foresee what would happen (i.e. lots of mirror-tier items being created). Remove Horticrafting station storage limit.
