What's your #1 issue with the current state of the game?

my biggest issue is: game is too unrewarding/not fun unless you treat it as day job and play as much as a streamer

There's several, but my #1 issue right now is Archnamesis. It needs to be scrapped and GGG need to go back to the drawing board.

No tweaks, concessions, small changes, nothing. Completely scrapped.

I'm always worried that my ignore list is going to be full when i add the next one.

My #1 is PoE is too hard and stupid. Stupid means = ground clutter, no clear telegraphs.

If you add to this -10% exp, this game is serous insult.
I don't want waste time here.

My issue is the same now as it was when I left a few years ago: It's an online 'service' disguised as a game that will inevitably disappear if/when the servers get shut down unless someone leaks the source code. I like games I'm actually able to play and preserve even if the copyright holders later decide to stop supporting it.

Personally I think that AN proliferating every mechanic, zone, and map, loot/currency pressure, and pushing layered gamba rng to the extreme is of far greater concern.

I think that the game is getting more and more oppressive. This oppression is narrowing choices and making builds more expensive.

Players do not get to opt out of this oppression in the base difficulty or any of the other difficulties.

It's hard I have two in fact.
1. Exalted Divines - How can you change something like this overnight and expect no fall out. This game is a loot game and gearing game. So you can farm up in certain areas Exalted orbs to slowly Gear your toon (Not Now). Divines are to hard to farm and obtain meaning you can't gear unless you wanna craft and even than crafting is difficult you need a masters or doc in crafting to progress.
This change I Believe has destroyed the league in being able to slow progress.
Standard and YES there are alot of standard players it destroyed the trade. Not to mention the people who where saving Exalts over years to buy that something special.
2.Loot you GGG say it's ok I'm happy for you to look at my account the hours played the juiced maps run using Exilence to record increase decreases. I have run since league (in Standard) easily 1000 maps and I'm telling NO it's NOT OK. It's bad I'm LOSSING currency NOT gaining. I will NOT play the Loot goblin way so TFT gets fatter. You need to address this. I still believe like Div card you need more target farming of maps as well.
My two cents worth.
I love the game and play nothing else. I'm so sad to see it in the state it is at the moment.

FOMO due not culling AN god touched mobs makes me not want to play the game. Everything else I can deal with, even if it's annoying.

Frustration FAR outweighs the fun. I want to have fun playing this game, I keep trying to have fun, but AN is such garbage it just sucks all the fun out of the game to get wrecked by 1 mob. I don't want to play a game where I need a spreadsheet to figure out how to play and have actual fun. I keep fooling myself, I need to move on, this is not the game for me anymore, it isn't fun.
