Why endgame is not a fun experience?

I understand your point of view and thank you for respecting mine as well.

I understand that you can appreciate the diversity of the maps/biomes, but in my opinion this has no correlation with the “layout” (you can very well have a “snow”, “mountain” or “lava” biome without being lost in a labyrinth).
I assume that PoE 2 will remain in the “diversity” (it's an assumption) and if so PoE 1 will remain my main game.

I'm trying to like PoE 2, but as it is, I'm not happy with it.

Just hit the 97 and never had problem with many of the things u said.
-Died 73 times on my run. Probably 10 of them were after 90, made me lose xp. That made me do preparations and push me to improve my defences. There is also omen which helps a lot. If xp loss isn't a thing, why should i improve my defensive layers? It would be cool to play glasscannon ranger or something with full rarity right.
-What exactly u getting when u hit lvl 100? Its not mandatory, just another skill point. Its prestigious state only and not meant for everyone.
-If your server laggy, try changing it. Last week had a problem, changed Frankfurt to Milan and it solved it. Right now playing on Frankfurt again which is my lowest ping location and having no lags.
-Atlas needs more variety, i agree. Hopefully they will add many more interesting things there.

I just dont understand in todays internet, what makes people thing their opinion is final and only relevant thing.
"Players will leave eventually and this game will die out." Just because u didnt like couple stuff ? I have no issues with %80 of the things u said.

Tell us you're a mage without saying you're a mage. (Or at the very least investing multiple pieces of gear into adding energy shield to your build). I have a ton invested into evasion, 79% + Acrobatics... & I use the passive that uses mana pool to provide energy shield via anointment. I still die in 1 shot to white mobs in tier 15. Either they need to give better access to health in the passive tree, or they need to give evasion a "glancing blow" buff and armor better mitigation vs large hits.

Your take is so insanely disconnected that it must be coming from the mouth of a mage main or one-trick. Either that or you're a bot/stirring the pot.

Layouts are not linked to breach. It's a question of ease of progress on the map and avoiding backtracking.
I'm fed up with mazes.
I'm a simple (and probably stupid) person, I like to move forward without being permanently blocked by walls, slopes or doors.

Personally, I don't mind the mazes. Like Crypt is more fun than, say, the new tower maps that are just a single path you follow. Those are pretty boring.

But the thing about Crypt is that it is one of the smaller maps. Many others, like the Colossus one are bigger and feel bad due to it. But this also applies to many outdoor maps. They just overstay their welcome. So for me, the problem isn't so much the map layout (though layouts do cause issues with various league mechanics), but rather, the size. Too many maps that are too big.

I am icestrike monk.
But since you are saying "Tell us you're a mage without saying you're a mage."
I am mage i guess.

Anyways, my defensive layers are
6147 Energy Shield
%76 Evasion (No Acrobatics)
%72 Armor (Comes from ascendency)
And Chaos Immunity
I am pretty strong defensively in all aspects, stun threshold is my weakness though. My character get stunned pretty easily. Simulacrum is hell for me.
"I have a ton invested into evasion, 79% + Acrobatics..." This shouldnt make you immortal at all if thats what you expecting. It means you are going to able to dodge everything but if you end up being unlucky and that one hit goes through your evasion, that one hit going to hurt you. If evasion is only layer u have, apart from your tiny miny energy shield.
Thats how i built my character and I am able to play pretty safely in my maps. Why thats triggers you?
There are always trade offs, if you are a ranger for example, u were free to bypass most boss mechanics that i was struggling whole game. They were freely hitting 4th ascendency boss from corner ( GGG just fixed this yesterday, it was there for month) Ur not bothered as I am in king of the mists fight by tornado. Whenever i try to hit boss, tornado comes to bite my ass. I had to tank it. Being %100 melee with icestrike monk, I had to get these defences. If you are getting 1shot by white mobs "occasionally", u cant be glasscannon as you are right now.
Sometimes im getting threatened by death in badly stacked mods on t16 maps but not often.
