" Ohh I see your materialistc point of view, so the most successful/influencial players are in your opinion the "best players" in the game, it is not the nice person, which you like to play with because he is friendly and always there for you, right ? I see how this leads to people preferring a toxic community over a familiar and responsible gaming environment. Actually it is a mirror of what is happening on Instagram, where the "best people" are the most successful/influencial ones, which can display the most perfect pictures of themselves. (like you proved by linking your standard helmets here) I think you need to work on your selfperception and in general people need to be a lot more aware of what they are really defining as their ideals, because everything I read here so far is so superficial, there is no soul in your words, and you might actually not even be aware of it, which is kind of sad. But it is no wonder, you are thinking like this, because this game is being developed only with focus on the most influential people, to make it attractive for those that posses the influencial power to lure more people into the game, and it is not developed for the ordinary gamer who wants to experience friendship and teamwork. Well, what can I even expect of people that never joined a guild and do not even play with others, that completely neglect the cooperation in this multiplayergame and play their lonewolf gaming style as if it was how this game has to be played, but you completely neglect the multiplayer aspect, which is actually the dominant part in this game, if we look at it from a bit more distance. I understand, that people no nerver played with others are imo unable to define a "good player", and ofc is this only my own perspective and I tolerate that you, and many others do have a completely different point of view on it. Maybe we both have to accept, that the game offers many different ways of how it is to be played and that there is no better or worse way of it, and that all the different options need to be taken care of equally by the devs, and not that one is preferred over the other, which leads to frustration. No my PC does not require an update, no I am not going to buy a new graphic card, no this problem is not solved by buying just new hardware. Last edited by Tamo_Tua#0926 on Apr 3, 2022, 2:37:05 PM

" this is the initial post you are responding to " elite skilled players who play the game for 1000s of hours. like i said they are also the most helpful players and are also genuinely nice people, they build a massive, positive attitude community around their twitch and youtubes which are there to provide information about all aspects of the game for the community to help people. youve somehow taken this statement, reworded it as 'the best' players, and then decided best players doesnt mean people who are best at playing but rather the nicest people who happen to be players and are now trying to make a character judgment about me based on this absurd, incorrect definition you have invented? what does this have to do with the point exactly? " my wife plays this game, she played it before i knew her and i met her in a guild in this game. shes is certainly not a "really elite skilled player". my judgement of who the best players are isnt materialistic, its a judgement based on how good they are at playing the game, because we are talking about elite players. not the best human beings who happen to also play poe because that has nothing to do with the point we were discussing. are you done trying to invent reasons why im a bad person to avoid dealing with the factual response i made to your post? " i simply pointed out the best players with the most knowledge who spend the most time playing are mostly playing ssfhc. you are the one who started talking about "your crafted trash items" and flying off on some fantasy about how people are materialistic and superficial. " this is a toxic negative thread accusing the devs of toxic things, you created it, and you are responding to people pointing out the flaws in your assertions with an attitude. no one here is defining their ideals, they are simply responding to your post with some counter points. maybe you should learn to deal better with opinions and facts that run counter to your own ideas, a start would be discussing the actual points people have posted rather than building strawmen and trying to attack peoples character. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

There is a LOT of projection going on in this post...OP appears to make grand conclusions based on nothing except his own experience. I have never RMT, never even thought about RMT, and I don't know a single other player that I have played with in 10 years that RMT. They are out there, but no way in hell does trade lead a significant playerbase to RMT sites.
To make an assertion that you believe GGG takes a cut of RMT, while also explicitly banning RMT in their terms of service, you better have some damn good research and data...which you do not have. There is no data, no trends, no news stories, no proof whatsoever that the initial claims are defendable or true. It is simply a personal opinion based on personal experience and thoughts, NOT hive mind analysis of 100s of thousands of other players. The psychology of the average player in PoE, AND ANY GAME, is this: if you like the game, you play the game. If you don't like the game, you don't play the game. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. Your analysis of trade as a function to increase in-game spending is nonsense. Not once have I ever connected trade to buying MTX, or breaking the code of conduct by engaging in RMT. GGG only needs to create a fun game for people to continue buying mtx. And they certainly don't need to promote or do shady RMT on the side against their own game to make extra money. They aren't struggling...they are thriving on a FREE game because MTX have been proven to be obscenely rewarding to companies. Proof = the trend of nearly all modern games that charge a nominal or no fee to play, and ONLY make money on mtx, sometimes those mtx items auctioning for $1000s of dollars. I HATE doing this...but the entire analysis of the original post SCREAMS a player who gets frustrated himself and ends up RMTing... Last edited by jsuslak313#7615 on Apr 6, 2022, 2:15:58 PM
