How I've been making the most out of PoE and Expedition.

Criticizing a BR for being RNG based seems weird.

Why? In pvp you don't really want rng. There is enough rng in player skill. Being good doesn't matter if you get bad rng in the beginning like wrong gems.
Maybe it will get better if they do many balance passes, and find the possibility to not make it server based.

Interviewing yourself is some next level forum-ing.

My understanding is BRs have more RNG as a feature than most competitive pvps. Would you disagree?

So, how have you?
Your post does not fit the headline.
The headline to your post would be:
"Faux-AMA and what I think the game needs".

The headline does kind of fit if you keep in mind that there should be no expectation that something will be said to benefit anyone else.

okay A) Are challenges hid when you private your profile? Otherwise I can't even believe you've been playing expedition. And B) Stay far away from my softcore SSF mode.

What is SSF even supposed to do? I mean lets be serious if you want to ssf then just dont trade or party, what is the reason for ssf existing? Just to enforce the self-imposed challenge to people with too little discipline to NOT TRADE when they want to play ssf?

I'm not disagreeing with it. I agree with people that want less rng in brs. I would prefer that game mode with prepared characters and trees. Right now the meta seems to be leave after you got the short end of rng.

My assumption is that it is GGG's way to allow verification of bragging rights.

Is it though? Asking for a friend.

I like a good AMA but oh it's kind of painful when they backfire. You gotta know when people actually do want to ask you something you'd want to answer. I do wonder how many PR people have been fired over an ill-calculated AMA.

I feel like I should say something on topic. Making the most of something is a pretty personal experience. You can try to share it but usually the only people who will benefit from someone else's method are those who both don't have their own and want one. PoE has people for this service: they're called streamers.

And they typically don't use a relatively dead medium like a forum to share that method.
