The problem is that the game went out of control over the years. It reached a point it gave you basically everything, loot was literally gushing out of everything left and right. If you were a 16 hours a day player it was even more insane. The real issue is that these people that were living in PoE were quite spoiled over the years. Every time GGG wanted to fix some issues, they came in crying, and we were back to square 1. Apparently GGG finally got the "stones" to fix it. In such a case, it's inevitable that someone will cry about it. Imagine eating at a five star restaurant each day, and suddenly they tell you to visit 3-4 star restaurant a few day a week as well; someone clearly won't enjoy that.
Not even gonna mention how trade ruined this game.....

Now back to average player: I'd say someone that plays 4-6 hours per day. At worst they quit the league 1 week in because they either got bored, or hit a wall at red maps. At best they manage to get to t16 maps, and maybe kill 1 boss.
As I've said at the beginning, I'm that guy, and I have seen no drastic difference in the experience compared to last leagues. Yes, sometimes the loot feels underwhelming, but 1 map later it compensates elsewhere.

So yeah, the people that got spoiled over the years will have to readjust.

In my book there are 3 tiers of player:

1. Casual. 1-4 hours
2. Average 4-6 can be per day, or let's say 6 hours today, 2 hours tomorrow, and 4 hours the day after.
3. Invested (I hate the word hardcore) over 6 hours per day
