Reddit is WRONG

Most of the people who post on reddit week 1 of a new PoE league are not core players that stick around for 2-3 months. These people on reddit complaining that poe is becoming too hard are not the games core audience. There is a game for people who want to come home from work and mindlessly mash buttons without thinking at all, d3.

Don't let them convince you that PoE needs to be dumbed down and easy mode. Thinking about the choices I made this league was more fun than past leagues, regarding difficulty. Please don't let reddit's forever crying make you ggg back down from taking the game in the direction you want.

You're so much better than those "casual" players and your input is worth so much more than them.
Maybe ggg will craft this game exactly to your liking.

But D3 is not easy, is just boring and simple

Seriously though, No.

Read the last line of the OP then go back to reddit and warcry more.

Which is exactly why PoE should never become d3. They're incompatible.
Yet people on reddit are crying for poe to be more like d3. Look at the top 'upvoted' posts on poe reddit.

Let's just watch and find out the truth eh?

Looking good for a "everything is nerfed the sky is falling" league.

STEAM ONLY...
~120k+ peak day 1, 92k peak day 2, 90k peak today.

Looks like a good healthy league launch.

If you think PoE is boring and simple, It may not be the game for you.

100% agree

Dude you don't even have a single character over 93
Either you aren't playing for months either or the game IS too hard for you, making you die even before reaching 95-96 consistently

Edit: oh and half of your builds are shitty supports, meaning you're playing the most broken shit and get carried. This league sucks and you know it

It's not about right or wrong. Reddit isn't wrong, because people there are posting their own experience, born from their own expectations. Who exactly do you think you are to tell them they are wrong?

As usual, feel free to challenge their ideas and views, but always remember that they are entitled to their opinion as much as you are flexing that right, here in this post.

GGG envisions and develops POE as they see fit, regardless of who they are going to please or alienate. It's because as they've grown so much, they have gone from trying to listen to each individual player and trying to find the middle road between their views and player wishes, like it was in closed beta, to what it is today, planning and playing to the metrics and data as best as they can, while staying true to their core and accepting the inevitable collateral damage. Feedback is still vital, of course, but in a much different way than 10 years ago. All this is just my opinion, of course, I could be wrong.

Bottom line is, you can't please everyone. It's unrealistic to try when you're as big as GGG has become now. Pick a direction and stick with it would be my advice.

Yup, I am fully aware that this may mean that I myself may one day be unhappy and find myself quitting. I will accept that.
