1. So entire expedition league was designed for ruthless to be released almost 2 years later?
2. Act changes going years back were also design for ruthless :O
3. endgame bosses designs from before ruthless were design for ruthless :O
4. Onslaught removed to balance ruthless :O
5. Powercreep making game easier, to be harder is because of ruthless :O
6. Lootsplosions for 6man Empyrion party insanely minmaxed magicfinders loot nerfed because of ruthless (and not because it was OP) :O
7. Divines-Ex swap because of ruthless (not because almost all well rolled uniques were worth as much as regular ones, and noone used exalts to slam extra mods) :O
8. Ultimatum announcement designed for ruthless :O
9. Arch-nemesis design for ruthless (not because rares wern't different from white mobs) :O
10. Arch-nemesis league was intentionaly unplayable because of ruthless plans :O
11. Adding Arch-nemesis rares to core game in 3.18, keeping game unplayable, to be removed after 4 leagues so in 3.22 so they will be finally old-like rares in 3.23... Too bad we jast had 3.20 so 2 more unplayable leagues left!? All because of ruthless?! :O
12. Now they revealed ruthless, and all GGG evil plans came to light, years of planning all around ruthless :O

I need a drink, whole bottle of liquid copium, this topic is new level of things I didn't know could exist.

It is almost like World War I happened because of PoE ruthless plans… I know it from a source, in one of trailers was a hint that was leading to a clue to a vid on tiktok that revealed a puzzle, and there it was. I love it, I’m ready to delve into this rabbit hole, or was Delve also because of ruthless?

Managing project the size of poe implies having long-run strategies, so it is not impossible for work done during 3.15 times being related or intended for ruthless. So far, you haven't proven otherwise either.

Some of these things are verifiable facts. The mode was announced right after 3.15's launch in a path of exile podcast, Baeclast, where Chris was talking to the community addressing issues in the patch. In that interview he talked about a passion project, hard mode, and he explained how it related to the negative changes in 3.15 (act 1 rework, mana nerf, damage nerf, movement skill nerf, ailment mitigation nerf, and flask nerf):

"So our initial plan was that we would throw a bunch of nerfs on hard mode, and it's entirely for masochists people like me it's a mode that people can just play and like you know we'll just we'll just have it be brutal and oppressive, and so the first point of call was to go and make it so that the game itself is challenging. To go through all the monsters and make them just oppressive and and scary and stuff right? so as we're doing this we realized this is just making the game better. like no one's playing through this act one and hating it. The zoomie players are going to be fine with monsters actually having an interesting ability so let's just do that in 3 15. And, so we did. And so, we start work on other nerfs and for many of the nerfs we realized these are things that will benefit the game let's do them in 3.15 all players will appreciate the improvements that we believed that they were going to have such as addressing power creep and so on."

Feel free to confirm it for yourself though: https://youtu.be/88N4s2qxRIM?t=2474

It'd kill me if I acted as smug about being wrong as you are. I'm sure like so many other things though the embarrassment you should feel will never get through to you.
