This is a death spiral. Here's how to stop it.

Great post but if you want ggg to read it have a streamer post it on reddit.

I admire you're passion and commitment to care enough to submit such a long article. I wish you that you get a lot of supporting responds to it.
Unfortunately I somehow doubt that there are a lot of players left that are enthusiast enough to even go through the forum to find some good discussions...
Is anyone still playing this hot fuming pile of Chris Wilson's wet dream of endless hardcore deaths come true?
As always boys: if you care about the game on principle but hate the way POE has been taken into a downward spiral the last 2 years -> don't play and especially don't waste your hard earned on money in the shop and maybe Tenscent might finally talk some reason into those stubborn Kiwi heads

Sad, but true. Each time I stumble on a thread with a nice beginning, and try to continue a discussion there (my first 2 replies), all I get in the end is some entitled troll rolling in, ripping my words from context and spamming personal attacks. PoE is a complex game with a lot of problems atm, so naturally they can be discussed only one at a time, and someone calls me "hijacking the thread" just for replying to a particular problem among those OP listed...

The reason I even try to say something is not to bicker with people but because I care about this game and don't like the direction where it is going for a long time.

Lazy to read comments after the OP so:
1) +1 to OP
2) thats [about OP] why i think PoE is not and doesnt seem to be the BEST [arpg] game >>
cannot use 20-50k players [yeah, i dont count the jebaited 200k who play for a day or week and give up the BS in game] and claim the "best" just because you are live on their donations [packs&mtx].
The game had and still has potential to be the Best, but GGG are f4king scared to go out of their comfort zone and got [vaal] balls to change the game so it
can be liked by million more players [which is ezpz if thats the goal] AAAND not just new players would spend money in the game, soon or later, BUT existing suffering players would open the wallet again, when see they are allowed to play the PoE they want to play and they can have fun in it.
3) PoE2 is best jebait imo >> couple changes and new acts wont do sh1t about us not having fun in this game [as before and as we hope]
4) PRIVATE LEAGUES are for ones who need extra challenges in this game + SSF HC >>> so imo its just BS to punish casual players with extra difficult mobs and whatnot :X uber uber content might be needed, yet drop rate is recalculated around the uber uber content [isnt it?] and so 20-50k QQ rich babies cannot go real hard mode [no log off, you nobos] and make 90% of players suffer cuz of them [cuz GGG cares too much about them thanks said above^ points]

Only one thing to be added to that great comment:
How could an auction house make POE in its current state worse in the slightest way?

aNY profesional plyer knews its intresting actully 4-5 ex ez rewarded by market eficient capitulazion. we need chalenged retwards to mmake sure itemization has 'weigth' acording to Chris-vision manifested. Theirs litrlly hundrds of viable pathofbuldng.

I like it is 'close your eye' momenting of raining loot leftright. Theirs Diablo2 also was about actully intresting sell drops profit, wich makes PoE progammerized and actully interactivizwd multiplyer game.

In what world there is hundreds of viable builds that can do all content ?

PoE is a solo game with multiplayer options.
