For what its worth

I thought I should take the time to express my gratitude for a company being upfront and honest with making a mistake. This in my point of view is huge and deserving of their customers. My only issue with the events that took place at launch where that the streamers were given priority to, “skip the line” so to speak. Honestly that was a major faux pas, however, addressing it and letting the customers know and taking responsibility for it is huge. The servers having problems and people making mistakes happen, it is understandable. The way that you take responsibility and apologize for it makes all the difference in the world.
Yes, I am aware that players that play in the economy have a different point of view, I play almost exclusively SSF, the iron born aspect I find appealing to my play style and I like to see the small details that goes into the environment and characters throughout the game. Although I did notice more than a few players that were complaining using mule accounts . . . Anyways, I also occasionally watch various streamers and yesterday I certainly was channel flipping the poe streams. The streamers that had there loved ones and friends play with them is fine it was just being given priority to skip ahead of everyone in the first place was, at the time, mildly infuriating. That being said, again, being upfront and in a timely fashion is very important and I will be happily continuing my support and passing the word along.
NOTE: I did hear and read a few comments about armor packs being a bit over designed and being somewhat of a designer myself, I was thinking that it would be cool if we could get an armor pack that would light up as we progressed through the game and gained experience. Probably could have an alpha mask being driven by your gradual progress or something. That way your character earns the glowing armor. Just a thought.

The general consensus has always been that you don't wear any MTX until you reach mapping. Your hobo going through leveling doesn't deserve to look like anything but what he truly is; a homeless boii going around wraeclast like a wretch.

Also, mildly infuriating doesn't quite do it. As a fellow SSFer, I'm certain you can appreciate how there is no race this league anymore. They gave a competitive advantage to streamers and intentional dupers. The only way to redeem this league is with a restart.

This is how Karma works. GGG was too greedy nerfing Harvest. Angry players cursed them, completely destroying GGG's launch day. Their beloved streamers who didn't get the money will "remember" this launch for a looooong time. Destroying GGG's reputation even more in the future.
