Boo at his stance about aurabots, like saying "we know they'll be the most sought-after shit in the patch that's meant to nerf 80% of builds, life isn't fair"

They are planning to change things in every league a year ahead.
aura bots will be addressed as he said.

yeah but leaving them in would be like if they nerfed all support gems except the melee ones, they've done a heavy across the board nerf to basically everything except the most busted power multiplier of all.

It doesn't actually affect most players as we aren't running around with a bitchboi but personally I think that's less support for not nerfing them rather than more.

I mean they nerfed perma focus that was like 3 players, but something that invalidates difficulty for the entire party slips by? I'm not entirely convinced that Chris is even aware of how juiced you get from an aura bot.

Again its not gonna have any impact on me either way, there aren't that many in HC and i'd never play/ask someone else to play one but it feeds into the belief that they balance for the top % because they are exclusively a tool for the 1%.

Thing I don't get is this.

If people like to eat steak in an eatery (play the game a certain way) instead of sandwiches, why must GGG force upon us sandwiches by making steak terrible. Why not just make both options desirable.

If sandwiches aren't desirable, then make them tastier, no? Instead of making steak worse.

Here's the kicker. We offer the eatery suggestions, if they wanna make steak bad, we might as well go to another eatery right?

In reddit, seems all happy.

Yoo, they didn't increase the mana cost/ reservation for generosity like I don't even have the strength to meme about it anymore lmao.

The reason I don't post on reddit is because if I say some stuff I don't like about the game, people just go "bye, you wont be missed". then downvotes... and then its pointless. Even with reasons explained.

Way of the world these days, putting out a false image.

Exactly there are lots of ways to address aura stacking because so many of the multipliers for it are minions/aura stacker specific, so you can tweak minions up to maintain parity and lower the rest fairly easily.

Its just a cop out on their part I mean w/e but its a glaring hole for "how can i be OP this league" with the only caveat that no normal human would ask somebody to play aura bot.

Except there's tonnes of upvoted negative feedback there, maybe it's just you?

the developers do what they think is best for the game wich is an absolute good move, just look at wow and what happend if they do what the community wants. from an already casual game (2004 standpoint) to a game that basicly is getting played for you nowadays with more and more casual stuff and allowence to see everything there is cus you know, i pay 13 bucks a month i am entitled to see everything. it happend because community got what they wanted, wow is currently dieing (because it killed itself) and this time its actually not even i quit wow and now talk bad about it. anyway i drifting off, poe devs doing what they want for theyre game and not doing what community wants is (for the most part) a good thing.

also this tread:

They just now figuring that out? Their hands have been tied all this time, and now they are FREEEEE. How brave that they have overcome that massive amount of player pressure that forced them to evolve the game in a direction that made them, and all their players unhappy. the numbers from the time they opened the game until now , most certainly show how unhappy everyone was.

I am sorry. I am sorry to the players for liking the evolution of the game , and causing such unhappiness to reign down upon you. I am sorry to the devs, for liking the game and forcing them down this road of unhappiness. I can't imagine how miserable they must have been these last 10 years.
