Listening to the whiners opened Pandora's box

It seems like the "There is no loot in this game" and "Bosses too hard" crowd (most of who, I assume, haven't even played a single hour of this game, and only jumped on the complain train) has won.

I just reached the graveyard in act 1 on an alt, and have 5 Orbs of Transmutation + Augmentation each, 3 Regal Orbs and 1 Exalt Orb.

Every boss (I fought 4 until now) dropped 1-2 yellows and 1-2 blues on top of 1-2 skill gems each.

The game is even more trivial now than it was before.
Every single one of my minion one-shots trashmobs (including even the Skeletal Warriors from the sceptre), and bosses die in very few seconds.
I can't even Contagion + Essence Drain, because the entire mob pack is dead before I can click the 2nd spell.

And it's not even the reduced difficulty itself that worries me so, but the fact that they opened Pandora's box. They gave in now, but the complainers will never stop asking for more ridiculous demands each time.

Do you think they will stop here? Of course not.
It will be "still too difficult", and after the next nerf, it will be "still too difficult", because those demands weren't based on reason or experience in the first place.

This was a step in the wrong direction. I genuinely hope they revert it.

And yes, of course I understand that the reason they complain about "difficulty" isn't that it's difficult per se, but that they have to engage with it more than just skipping it in the first place.

They don't even want the game. They're complaining about not being able to skip half of it, and no-backbone-GGG decided to give in.

The blatant disregard for the campaign GGG put god knows how many hours into is saddening.

Do you find this to be reasonable drops at level 10?
And yes, all bosses looked like this, even minor map bosses.

This is my gear at level 10.

EDIT:

They always move the goalpost because they never had a point to begin with.

They say the campaign is too hard.
When you show them evidence it's not, they'll dismiss it and say "come back when you're done with maps", or "look how much money I spent on supporter packs, therefore I am correct" (lol?)

They say the loot is too little.
When you show them evidence it's not, they'll say you're just lucky.

They complain about minion witch (of all classes).
When you show them evidence that minions are good and offer help, they'll reject it, and say you're just using OP stuff.

They say that we are "sweaty hardcore players wanting to gatekeep".
When you show them that the "difficulty" they mean is bosses that melt down in 5 seconds due to the busted gear we're showered with, they'll come up with another bullshit reason or excuse why you're actually wrong.

You can't have a reasonable discussion with them, because to them it's not about finding out the truth.
They're trolls.

You can give them all the help and show them all the evidence that and why their point is incorrect, and the only thing they will do is move the goalpost.

And this is why GGG has opened the door for people to seek to ruin a wonderful game. Because their demands are never going to stop. You give them this, and they'll want more. They'll always move the goalpost.

This is absolutely true, and the undeniable proof is that they reduced the player size to 0 while rolling without testing, introducing a bugs where players can get through walls and visual bugs, just because some people can't seem to grasp the concept of collision?

"Some smaller monsters can now be pushed while dodge rolling." Then why was the player size changed? They had a great game when it just started. Which is funny when you look into it, and the patch notes are almost no big changes.


Also, Please remove pausing for hardcore, it is a mostly insignificant feature that brings a tremendous negative side effects. I can't stop pausing because it's simple reflex and the best course of action almost every time.

It was a shortsighted idea to give them pausing on hardcore when you wouldn't be able to remove it because complainers run your company.


If you think any of this is an exaggeration, they increased drop rates and removed slightly "bothersome" features that broke the game as soon as the complaints hit. And the complaints will just keep coming forever.



All this terrible things aside, the game is amazing. Thank you GGG.
