Respect to all streamers who revoked their "Q-skipping rights"

This is one of the reason why this game is very successful, it's not just the developer's effort with constant new contents and amazing new ideas--the players themselves cares about the health and longevity of the game and the veteran players really genuinely cares about the fairness of the game. There will always be scammers and rotten players--that's a given--but as long as the odds of the good are still overwhelming the bad. This game will endure.


?!?!?!?!!? Joking or did you totally misunderstand what is happening here? GGG is literally crashing and burning right now and so is a lot of PoE streamers.

I decided to tune into Empyrean's stream earlier to see the huge massive economical advantage everyone was talking about and from the short footage I saw it seemed like he has to sit in queue now as well and he claimed he talked with GGG to get out of streamer privilege. I stopped watching shortly after though so i don't know if that remained consistent.


Ofc he did because people where leaving and unsubbing like mad before that... He had to or his income and reputation would be ruined. That is the only reason he did.... fear of losing income.

The pessimist in me makes me believe that they all did this because it provided the most reputational gain therefore the most future income. "Wow what a hero he's just like us!"


I don't know about the others but I was watching Zizaran at the time and he literally was very unhappy when he realized what they did... and he was in contact with them after 5 minutes so they could disable it. His greatest concern was about what people would think about loot drops and streamer "luck" from now on when they knew GGG could do this.


And rightfully so. Once you open that can of worms, everything comes into question. People already memed on "Streamer Drops" as a thing, and now it could very well be a possibility. Especially when they just took it upon themselves to "fix" ques for streamers without some of their knowledge. They could very easily tweak the drops, too.

I would really hope they wouldn't, but they have done a lot of shady things in the past in regards to the economy, and even now they are letting people abuse an early start (Empry's party).
has any of them revoked their "streamer RNG?" This whole debacle definitely adds legitimacy to that theory.

I doubt any streamers ever spent 5K+ fusings to 6 link something just sayin

Mbxtreme didn't que hop. His latest video was enough for me to support him further.


Mbxtreme was not even included in the privileged streamers he could not skip the queue even if he wanted to... So why would you respect him for something he couldn't even do in the first place?!?!?!?!


I'm well aware. I was watching him and Ziz at the same time. I left it as such because I don't know if anyone messaged him or not, I'm just taking him as his word.

You have no fucking clue what his screens look like from yours but out of everyone streaming this game, he is the only one I would believe.

wait for it !?!?!?!?!?!?!
It's very obvious GGG knew this launch was screwed all day long if not longer now that we all are actually dropping and stuck in queues. It would be different if streamers just got a little jump start... but GGG knew they would be disconnecting all day long and in queues every single time, so they removed queues for them. It's so obvious.

I thought that was already a fact.
can i just say this ... i know it seems off topic and all that given the current state of the game proclaming streamer civil war and all that... however after reading this i do have to say that it sucks that female gamers have to litterally hide in the shadows ...cause sometimes the trolls are so god danmed toxic sadge.. trully

on another note heres what bother me a little (and no not trying to sound like a over sensitve snow flake) but i dont stream never have (not that id ever be able too since my pc wants to file a restraining order each time i open a harbinger map) but as some one whos been playing this game since ....mar 24th 2013? and has never had the amount of currency that some of these streamers have? kinda make me curious if the fan base is actually giving them this currency (the same way that a patreon supporter can send money) kinda makes you think dosent it.. like low key rmt for merch or something....hmmm

Some get it from fans. You have to remember the streamers also stream hundreds of hours. Especially at league start. Some stream even more. A game like PoE is rng and the more time you play the more you will get. Streamers win by default in that category. Look at the streamers that are strictly ssf. Most end up with more loot and currency than I do in trade. Alot of them are also very efficient and genuinely good at the game. Like mathil for example. He can play a build and make it look like a walk in the park. If I play the exact same build it doesn't go so well lol and I've been playing since open beta.
