Why is Mathil able to do everything that is impossible according to most of the complains here?
" Nope nobody says that. The argument is that he plays PoE in a very casual way (not time invested but how he approaches it) and still gets bosses down and enough currency. He has like 20+ characters each league A guy with a job can do the same he does with like 2/3 characters in a league. Its just people that complain here refuse to admit that they do not have any real clue about how this game works. I have a job too. I only play like 2/3 hours a day on average and I still had like 300 to 400 EX in gear before I gave it away. (If you dont believe me ask my guild ingame). People outright refuse to study this game and come here on the forum and complain that its impossible to get currency or that "only streamers" can do all content. |

I'm not seeing your point, Zerber.
Path Of Exile, for as long as I remember it, had min-maxers and no-lifers. People who make spreadsheets, join the most efficient guild or party, read GGG_Mark's posts and Wiki articles looking for exploits. Sit around the marketplace with their ping-finger ready for a price drop. Copy the most Meta builds. Use every 3rd party tool that's not written down on Chris' ban hammer. Every MMO has them. Players who treat the game as a job. Doesn't really matter if it's a 24 hours a day job or 8. "Streamers". With or without a camera. Is this the only acceptable way to play the game? No. Should a player like me who logs in occasionally and has an inefficient character I made myself just for fun, be able to attempt content? Yes. I may get my ass handed by Uber bosses, but I shouldn't be locked out completely. And if I play for literally a decade, I should have some sense of progress. Not being stopped dead by a ruthless RNG that's got more layers to it, than an union hiding a Diablo Immortal Legendary Gem inside. Some people, aren't you.

" Then you aren't being Mathil. You don't understand what we meant by doing what Mathil does. Like playing every league, clearing all content, having a list of characters. ARE YOU BEING MATHIL? Doing less is not being Mathil. Most people aren't Mathil, Zizaran or Steelmage. |

" Knowledge has nothing to do with most of the complaints. This is just more of the "git gud" fallacy. My complaint is that the game is not nearly as much fun anymore. I'm having more fun playing another game. Hopefully GGG will fix it. If not then I will rarely play PoE and probably never spend more. I've already spent about $700. There probably won't be anymore spent if they don't. Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

" Playing POE is masochism sometime. Can you play this game if it is tedious and time-wasting endless grind? SURE!!!!! But Is this game worth playing? This is what we should be asking ourselves. Everyone can have a different answer for the same question. |

" i dont think mathil does any of those things. " how are you locked out completely? you just spec the node on the atlas tree and run the corresponding boss surely? the fragments to do shaper, elder and sirus just come from running t16 maps. mavis you just turn on the mavis beacon and run some maps till uve got a full invite, the eater/searing again you just run some maps and u get the key? you literally just run maps, self find maps and use the alchs u self find to make them rare then run them, and that gives you access to everything in the game right? what am i missing? I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

Mathil plays a hefty amount of hours and researches builds offline.
Me? I still don't have a 5 slot map device from doing Legion. Remember how in Median XL you could just waltz into an Uber zone by mistake, and get crushed? And then you gear up, level up, learn the mechanics of what's going on in there... and still get crushed. And then 3rd time's a charm? Well PoE makes you collect grains of sand from 10000 different types, which combine into fragments, which combine into into one half of a key into an interesting encounter. It's a super grind worse than any p2w lootbox game you can think of, but thankfully there are no lootboxes. So why does the game do that instead of just letting you try the encounter like MXL did? Well, I hear Chris say, the no-life min-maxers would endlessly farm the thing and get a quadrillion Exalts. Well guess what? They still get a quadrillion Exalts. Every. Single. League. And yet the damn game is balanced around them, while I'm still collecting grains of sand like a moron for 9 fucking years. People in YouTube double-corrupting a tab full of Magebloods, while I can't get a decent amulet for my main character. I've got a specialized paid tab for Breach Stones and Uber Atziri fragments, with ... one of each. Can do 2 Shapers in Standard. Back in Beta, the "rich" would have a sick 6-link Shavs equipped on their main, and a Soul Taker passed between different characters. Kripp-tier top Streamers had 1 Mirror. Top 10 ladder players had 1-2 godly Rares. Now the disparity between "the 1%" and a dumpster-diver like me, is beyond comprehension.

" The game is not balanced around no lifers playing the game 24/7 in farming groups if it would be everyone else would find nothing and couldnt get out of T1 maps. The difference between the "super rich" and the rest in beta isnt greater than it is now. No normal player was getting his hands on a 6L Shavs and 2 void batteries in beta if he didnt find it but finding it was as easy as "just dropping a mageblood". " Honestly this quote takes the cake. You are seriously mad about a game in which knowledge = power that you have to do research on things? Researching and "solving the puzzle" are part of the games feedback loop. Its purposefully desinged that way from the very first day it was released into beta. If you do not like that than this game is simply not for you. This whole forum is full off people that blame everything exept their own incompetency. Last edited by Zerber#2188 on Jun 22, 2022, 5:47:58 AM

" That's just twisting the original argument of OP, not sure if you are doing it on purpose or not. Yes, Mathil plays 12 hours a day, but he also plays gazillion characters per League. But the point still stands - he doesn't use insane farming strategies to print currency, he plays off-meta/meme builds and his builds don't have insane costs. So what exactly stops complaining players doing the same, but only on 1-2 characters per League? I see only excuses and unreasonable jealousy. |
