I find it somewhat difficult to believe with today's resources and guides available that %90 of people never make it to maps these days.
Thoughts ?
I mean you realize 95% of games dont require guides or special build calculators, etc?
The average video game player comes to poe and the advice is
-Download this build calculator
-Use these trade strategies
-Read this 2000 word build guide
-copy a veteran players build, while learning how to game the market,
ignore your own ingenuity
-Ignore crafting because it is awful until you spend dozens of exalts, instead spend time messaging people who mostly ignore you because buying gear is far more efficient
Its a miracle any new players actually stay with it.
The fact that your first build fails by default, is part of the reason why most players stay. In other games you have it all figured out in 2-3 weeks, then move on. PoE is a bit more complex.
At least you don't need great skill that develop over years, like in RTS and MOBAs. If you follow a good guide, should be able to complete most of the content.
Dont 90% of players quit before maps though, so most players don't?
Or did you mean that of the players who DO stay ( <10%) they stay because of the complexity, the depth, etc.?
That I would agree with.
