Why the "no fun" direction??

This is not a vent but a genuine question..

Why was the decision made to go in the direction of "less fun"??

Was there a list drawn up of all the things the community enjoys about PoE1 and a separate list drawn up of the unenjoyable things and the wrong list was emailed out??

This is not a 3rd person soulslike game, stop forcing us play it like one.

I know this is early access but player count is going to fall off the face of the earth if the game remains like this.

Why not allow ascendancy respecs?
Why not allow movement skills for zoom zoom?
Having to juggle 7-8 different skills is not fun..
Having only 1 skill capable of applying an effect kills build diversity.
Armour break is a horrible idea..

I really want this game to be great but there isnt enough good that comes with the bad..

Fun is subjective. For me POE1 is zero fun and this game is HUGE fun. people NEED to understand that.. fun is SUBJECTIVE!

I find painting, reading, writing books fun... I find parties, drinking and music not fun. I bet your tastes are different than mine.. so why fun would be monodimensional in gaming?
This is the most fun I've ever had levelling in any game of this genre, and I have thousand of hours in D2, GD, POE1, LE. Fun is subjective, the huntress is the best designed class I've ever seen, they've done an amazing job with her.

The last thing I want with this game is for it to be like POE1. I'll go play POE1 if I want zoom zoom, but I don't, I find this a lot more enjoyable now.

Personally, I'm having a good time so far with this league. People have totally valid concerns about the current state of the game, but not everyone agrees on the scale of the problem. Personally, my build is killing it and I'm having a great time. It's taken effort to find the right gear to make it happen, but that is part of the game.

I definitely think that the recent monster health decisions for the campaign will make a positive impact (they were a bit crazy on launch). I personally subscribe to the 'Wait and see' approach to most things. Provide feedback: YES, but also understand that games that hand everything to you on a platter are also not very fun; I'll take more of a challenge any day.
