The reason GGG doesn't really pay attention to these forums

The only way to vote is with money, not with a forum essay. Pay for the leagues where they make decisions you think are good, don't when they don't.

I can promise you they are listening to that.

I agree that you shouldn't pay for the game in its current state. But I doubt it's gonna change anything. The game survived thanks to the 1% so called "whales", like most f2p in the market. As long as those guys love what GGG do, GGG doesn't care about the unwashed mass.

"The 1%" is the real target audience.

Sure there are people who spend thousands per year on mtx but I have a hard time believing their contribution to the $90 million income from mtx in the last financial period is that significant. I bet their contribution is dwarfed by the combined income from the low spenders who buy a few stash tabs or an occasional pack.

poe 2, only 1 build viable.

Maybe, but if they really support the game then this actually feels fair, right?

If 1% are doing the vast amount of supporting the game, then by all means they should be the ones GGG tries to please.

The suggestions here are just terrible and not representative of a majority of players. All you read here is how you can only play the top 3 builds and how only meta builds are playable and this is the league POE will die...blah blah blah.

Meanwhile in reality...

You can get upset and cry and yell that you are going to quit today, but Chris knows what he is doing. I don't think he is worried at all.

Just started a new 2 ex Soulthirst Tornado Shot build that clears all content. Actually change my original post to top 15 builds. There is more build diversity than ever. My point stands. Not my fault you watch Zizaran and think those are the only playable builds.

I feel pretty silly trying to have had a real discussion when I suddenly realized this thread is actually just another "lolz i can do all content with white gear, any skill, SSFHC, one eye closed, while chugging beer, get gud noobz".

Like, not even trying to hide it.

in the end bald guy is gonna be left only with trolls praising his vision.

Where is your TS build? None of your characters has a bow.

The real reason GGG doesn't really attention to these forums is because it is not reddit.

I actually think GGG reads more threads in here than people are aware of, especially in the feedback section. People seem to think that it's impossible for GGG to read, agree, disagree, laugh, shake their head or whatever to posts in here, without responding or obey.

In some people's mind, "ggg not reading/listening" is the same as "GGG not obeying my orders", which of course is pretty crazy.

That said, GGG could - and should - absolutely respond more in here.

People associated with GGG definitely check every post and edit/delete what goes against their policy. Doesn't meant that they care about what we say
