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

Yeah some build were still a bit broken back then but the overall balance and build diversity was better and the game was not yet completely bloated. Back then u could make almost any build work on endgame even a stupid cast while channeling discharge jugg or any type of totem build which is pretty much unplayable now outside of sanctum or Zhp bossing unless u want to use all 6 portals every map and die more times than u can count. Because of the way they balanced the endgame around top performing builds instead of balancing the builds themselves we ended up with a meta where u pretty much have to follow specific ways of scaling dps and survivability to be able to do endgame content which unfortunately only fits certain skills and build types and many other builds simply cant scale this way

I don’t doubt they care about the loyal fan base they have built, however GGG is no longer the same studio when they first started.

Right now, they are trying to capture the Elden ring and d4 playerbass most likely hoping to transition them over to residual league players, however this change has alienated their core base as this isn’t the Poe we have grown to love it’s something different entirely.
This alone isn’t a bad thing, it’s more of expectations are meeting reality and I think that’s where a lot of the angst is coming from.

Why do PoE veterans act as if both can't coexist, or are mutually exclusive even?

Now imagine this, for 3 years GGG has told you that poe2 was going to be an expansion on POE1.
The whole time the game has been under Development you were told this. Then you find out that they made it a seperate game. And then you find out it’s nothing like the game you have supported for over a decade.
And then you have a troll in the forums saying “git good” lolz

Keep in mind, OP's highest lvl is 86 and has little to no account achievements

Yea we can see that POE1 was just way too ez for you having never done any end game in POE1

Your MAIN concern is they might make POE2 too ez huh

That's like going to the gym once or twice and saying you're afraid you will become as big as Ronnie Coleman

Character level means nothing after 85/90+, just people projecting a macho meme to get near to level 100.
nor do achievements mean much.

I never chased achievements, and didn't have the time to level much further above 90, due to work/real life etc.
However,
I do know the game very well, i have my PHD in Poe1.

This EA game is not Poe2.
GGG need to rename this EA game, they cant call it Poe2.

Then they can make the real Poe2 game.

I agree with this. A lot of POE1 players are not used to the game and are blaming the game. They don't have build guides, and have to deal with a new campaign.

The difficulty should not be nerfed.

How angry do you want to get over someone stating they think the campaign difficulty is fine as is: YES.

Get a fucking grip.

You seem to be confused.
This game is not difficult due to the systems and lack of build guides.

Anyone who played poe1 can make a semi-good build, even with the suffocated dumbed-down gem system in this car-crash game.

Also mechanically there is nothing special,
Dodge roll has replaced the old - flamedash/frostblink/leapslam and other movement skills.
Which is a bad decision.

What is bad is the dumbing down on everything that made poe1 great.
No loot, no crafting, lack of potions, ascendancy is forced via hated league mechanics, lack of health, lack of build diversity.
White monsters being too either fast/ too much health.
The list goes on....

two good things from EA,
1, graphics
2, Explanation of affixes on item examine, good for new players.

The game is currently boring

The loot in this game is truly bad, chat :(

🤡

Truly unplayable, how could I beat the campaign with shit gear like this.
Please buff, GGG
