From Tactician to Amazon: Why POE's Meta Feels Broken (And Trading Feels Worse)

Playing from version 0.2.0 up until now, the overall feeling is that it’s hard—not just regular hard. Drop rates are low, progression feels extremely punishing, and there are barely any viable skills to play. From Tactician to Smith of Kitava, and now I just want to play Amazon. GGG, what exactly are you trying to do here? What happened to the promised 'diverse array of builds'? Are there only Smith of Kitava and Amazon now? One last thing—I’ve mentioned this before—trading is such a hassle. This is the most disgusting part to me.
