Do all the XP penalty complainers just body brigade through the game? Honest question
" i get your pov. you know my pov. we've said our piece. theres no reason for us to try and convince each other. you prefer the game one way others prefer the game another way. its as simple as that. and despite me wanting xp penalties to be removed and no matter what everyone says about it and asking it to be removed, ggg still has not removed it. what i can say is ggg did make effort to alleviate it a little via omens, so i would say its on ggg's radar of considerations. lets just wait and see. and to all forummers lets not be mean to each other. its ok to have differing opinions.

" I think it's way easy to solve this situation. Split the game in leagues: POE League players (like POE1) Hardcore League Casual League (without EXP penalties, no ranks) You can only trade with people from the same league. Let's see if EXP penalty is that important or not. If it's that good, just test it and let this new space for bring new players to the game. Both players can exist together and enjoy the game. It's easier than telling people how they want to play a game or insulting about their builds or not meta oriented. I think is boring build your character only main oriented for surviving and ranged safe builds. If you want variety and discover the game EXP penalty it's not good. Stop crying about people's opinion and just let them express whatever they think. |

XP penalty sucks... plain and simple.
And don't bring D2 into the discussion because: 1) It's an early 2000's game. Different times. 2) No BS deaths because of random sh1t you can't control or can't predict or can't even see. D2 deaths are, usually, 100% on you. Also, you can get most of it back by collecting your dead body. Create your own, separate, elitist gatekeepers league if you think XP penalty is so exciting. Toss in the 1 death per map in that league also. It's not fun game design, you're just a glutton for punishment who have 0 care for your own time. |

XP penalty and many of the other negatives, like trade basically being required to progress your character at anything beyond a glacial pace, suck.
If GGG wants to make POE1 again, they are more than welcome to, its their game, but they won't expand the audience by doing the same thing all over again in POE2. |

The real question should be: why can't it be configurable?

" 100% agree. I'm so tired of hearing that excuse. "the game blah blah.... respect my time... blah blah" Xp penalty is also a gear check. It gives you the sense of reward when you level up, or does me. I died probably 15 times in 91. I could clear a t15 map fine 4...6..8 times. Then just die on the next one.. or two. I ended up crafted a new chest and weapon. Changed a couple passive points. Blew right through to 92 without any more deaths.. felt good and rewarding breaking that threshold.

" For the same reason you can select hardcore or not. SSF or not. Having a game mode that levels to your dedication. Should a game mode exists for everybody ? most likely not. The point is to know how many people you target with your game mode. And this nobody knows here. |

" What if the actual Softcore was already the easiest league GGG wants us to play ? |

" Then I guess Softcore it is ! It's up to GGG to decide if it's worth it. |
