Despite this is hard league for me, I find it one of the best in terms of league mechanic (except items transformation) and atlas changes.
Now Sirus become significantly more accessible than before.
But maybe its just my experience due to I was lucky with build choice - Bane occulist
You knew that going in. Of course it is. It's supposed to be. That's why we play it.
Every hobby is a waste of time. Every video game is a waste of time. And grindy games even more so.

ARPG fans know that endgame of any ARPG is grinding, and PoE is a game with one of the finest grinds. Surely grinding is not for everyone, but there are decent number of players who enjoy such playstyle.

sorry to hear that you are quitting the game but no need to add to the waste of this world, so can I please get all your currency and high value items in standard ? :)

GL with whatever game you find to play and make you happy.
I mean generally speaking all video games are a waste of time. That's sorta the point.

I think what you mean to say, which I would absolutely agree with, is that PoE no longer respects players time. Its seems to not be a consideration when reviewing their time played vs monetization algorithms.

Its pretty gross actually, the point where we have gotten to imo.

you get way more xp, items and currency per hour now than you did in 2020, or 2019, or 2018, or 2017... all the way back the opening release of the game. we can clear higher content faster and easier now compared to this same point in any previous year of the game.

so in what way does the game not respect our time any more? how did it respect our time before but not now? you get more stuffs from your time, in every possible way from currency to items to xp to content access.



youre just jaded, thats all thats happened, you personally have grown jaded and you have changed your criteria for judging things as a result.
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

I think trying to argue the game isnt massively bloated, is a fools errand. Its by far the worst it's ever been.

The amount of time it takes to even get to the Atals progression, let alone Sirus and Maven is way beyond what it used to be, in terms of getting to the more engaging content. And that's not even taking into consideration Delve, Betrayal, Incurison, Heist, and more after that point.

Quite frankly its wiping out both new and old players. It's just TOO MUCH, and takes too long.

I guess agree to disagree. Id be interested to hear why you think the player dropoffs are what they are, and why people decide to leave.
