The Poe 1 League will last a week with most players, then drop to 5%, the priority is Poe 2.

Can someone explain what tiers effect? The wiki is a bit barebones.

While this is absolutely not the thread for it, briefly:

"Tiers", in terms of item drops, mean the item has a better chance of rolling higher-value modifiers when identified, and thus being a better item.

"Tiers", in terms of waystones, represents the monster level of the area as well as the overall difficulty of the zone. Different tiers of waystones can roll more powerful affixes, in three buckets - Tier 1~5 waystones are analogous to "white maps" in PoE1 parlance, Tier 6~10 are "Yellow maps" and Tiers 11~15 are "Red maps". There's a significant difficulty jump between each of those three buckets, with properly rared-up red maps providing significant challenge to most builds that aren't quite well geared by that point.

"Tiers", in terms of forum grognards assigning tiers to players based on how many seconds it takes them to kill Pinnacle content, is a way the grognards have of gatekeeping the game and trying to forcibly evict anyone with fewer than 10k hours in the original game and also fewer than 10k hours viewing popular community streamers.

It's normal for that to happen in Path of Exile 2 because it doesn't have Leagues yet and the same thing happens in Poe 1 which has leagues and with a much steeper drop, not to mention that you're comparing an unfinished game that's a beta against a game that's already finished and loses players every year that passes.

But it's not "much steeper" at all, why do you keep repeating nonsense without providing any proof? It's a new fucking game, most people who're playing PoE 2 don't even know what a league is

PoE 1 isn't losing players over time, Settlers is the most recent league and it broke the concurrent player record for the game, how would that be possible if the game was losing players every year? Please stop being a moron.

First of all, don't be disrespectful.. you're proving me right.
About the loss of players in Path of Exile 1 is what I was noticing in the market and Twitch viewers in each League.

The people that are probably feel like they deserve bare minimum after funding PoE2's literal existence.

Are you trying to ragebait or something? Settlers has been out for more than 6 months, which is way longer than PoE 1's usual league cycle. How many players do you think PoE 2 would have if it received no updates for 6 months?

Take a good look at the peak of Players that Path of Exile 2 had this weekend Saturday and Sunday it had more than 225 thousand active players from Steam and without adding the number of players who recommended downloading Path of Exile 2 directly from the official page and one of those is me, I never used Steam, I suppose it adds up to more than 50% of the amount that Steam shows.
The second month of the best Path of Exile Settlers League had 163 thousand active players in August 2024.
Now they will have Path of Exile 2 next to them for when they get bored of the League, so there will be fewer of them.

None of your arguments make any sense whatsoever, I genuinely can't tell if you're trying to bait or simply have no idea what you're talking about.

PoE 1 also has a standalone client, which was relatively more popular than the Steam version, and this is most likely not the case for PoE 2. Casuals will gladly download a game from Steam, but won't want to download a third party app to play a game.

PoE 2 is popular because IT'S A NEW FUCKING GAME, which is simply a dumbed-down version of PoE 1, and people are still trying things out. Over time, people will run out of things to try, and casual players won't want to grind from scratch after every league cycle.

If you think casual players who need like a month to be able to finish the campaign will like the league cycle system, you just have no clue.

The one who has no idea and doesn't want to accept that he is part of the minority is you... you're going to have to accept it by hook or by crook. The priority in this present and in the future, whether you like it or not, will be Path of Exile 2 and with everything I showed you it's clear that it will have a better future than the 1.
I know it bothers you to read this... and it's obvious that Path of Exile 1 also has players who don't use Steam, I myself made it clear to you that I never used it, you should pay more attention when reading and I end here knowing that you will continue to be all angry, giving your opinion like a child who had an outdated toy taken away from him and doesn't accept an updated and prettier toy haha
