I am worried that GGG might listen to the whiny "game too difficult :(" crowd

Since it's so important to you to mention how much more your opinion is worth based on how much money your parents paid for the game:

What do you think? Do you think the game is too difficult and should be changed? Or do you think the game is fine?

As you've made about 20 comments, and none of them about the actual topic of the post, but just about how much money you spent, I figured you'd have an opinion on the topic at hand as well. :)

You should apologize for a lot of things, but not for overestimating any poster here.

If you read all the posts (which weren't by pom-pom waving cheerleaders) MOST were about
(1) dodge/dodge/dodge/skill dance for 5 minutes mechanic being TEDIOUS (not difficult, not challenging but BORING and TEDIOUS)

(2) drop rates being abysmal for an ARPG.

You lording over everyone because you got to some level doesn't really mean much in that context (or any context really), to anyone (Except you, perhaps). Your lack of basic courtesy, etiquette (shitting on everyone from the get go) is a reflection on YOU, not PoE, not PoE "whales" ("whales" in online games don't mean what you think it means), or PoE2.

Anyway GL, hope you enjoy POE2, and dont frothe and stroke out when they tune it or change it a lot in the coming months from the current stage it is at.

1, 2) Yes, but see, that wasn't what my post was about. My post was about the game not being as difficult as people claim. And that's also what the reason you argued with me was about. The dodge and droprates you just pulled out of your arse.

3) You have continuously been hurling ad hominems, names and insults at me for hours, because I stated that the game isn't difficult (after all, you yourself stated that I, someone with no experience, have progressed through it), and cried when I responded in a similar fashion demanding a "basic courtesy, etiquette" you were unwilling to show from your first comment onwards.

4) "In gaming, a whale refers to a player who spends a significant amount of time and money on a game, often making high-value in-game purchases" (Source: https://www.larksuite.com/en_us/topics/gaming-glossary/whale)

In addition, I made the post claiming the game is not difficult, and should not be changed. The whale joined to argue against my point, henceforth implying that the game should be changed (should be made easier for him), and using his spent money as an argument why his opinion is valid and mine isn't (concluding that he should have an easier time by virtue of paying a lot of money).

So yes, he is mad he can't whale his way through the game.

You're both clowns.

Reading comprehension - it helps. I said "all the posts" not about responses to this one. Maybe it will be clearer if I say ALL the THREADS?

Read your original post in this thread - read it again for its passive aggressive insults to anyone who doesnt like the current state of PoE 2, at some point someone needs to call out the new ignorant bully (a terrible combination anywhere).

P.S: Kudos on googling whaling and linking the first result. If you know what P2W means and whaling in that context at all, you would...never mind.

Anyway I am done. Like I said hope you enjoy POE2 for years to come!

Why don't you go play games you enjoy instead of demanding change of games you don't and will likely dump in a week anyway?

Entitlement. "I want yours, too"

I am convinced that a majority of the difficulty complaints are either people trolling, or people who haven't bothered to look into crafting / disenchanting / random gear from Finn / increasing resistances / literally engaging with any game mechanic whatsoever.

They can safely be disregarded.

I've also seen that a common complaint is taking too long to clear trash mobs.
That's not a "game too difficult" issue, that's an "I built poorly" issue.
I clear trash mob packs in 3-4 seconds. Your build is bad.

Hmm .. Pot meet Kettle and vice versa??


While I owe you an apology [for realz and I do mean it] maybe it's best that EVERYONE [myself included] be freakin' civil.


Perhaps it's best for some things to just be dropped. For example I don't care if someone is a D1, D2, D3, PoE1, etc. vet or a newcomer. IF they are looking for a game that should be able to offer meaningful feedback and not be dismissed for that.

Along similar lines if someone is trying to present evidence of a problem and wants the game to improve for them AND a [loud if not large??] class of people then having people make fun of the argument or reply with "skillz issue" or "git gud" is counterproductive at very best and sows the seeds for uncivil interactions in the future.
