season 2 feedback for devs

637 hours in, going to quit season 2 tonight.

Season 1 was a sandbox I could do anything in. Season 2 is just a straight path to a certain build and nothing else works if you don't play that build.

- Game is unrewarding. Loot is non existent. How am I supposed to craft when I get 2 divines per 3 days of gameplay with 100%+ rarity on gear? Am I expected to trade up constantly? Then where is the in game auction house?

- Basic mobs do way too much damage. I constantly get stunned and subsequently instantly die to packs of mobs. I have almost maxed res and phys reduction. This is ridiculous. I walk around the map constantly fearing my life and losing 10% XP in endgame.

- Campaign takes way too long. I am not going to redo a fresh character at this point.

- Everything I touch is nerfed to the ground. Why did you need to nerf Stormweaver? it's a PvE game. Nobody cares. Why does it matter that people play the OP stormweaver build? Who cares? Make other builds viable instead.

- I wanted to play as a stormweaver again. That is what I want to do. I do not want to play a tactician. I don't want to play huntress. I want to play sorceress and 0.2 update took it away.

- I took a tactician to level 85 and quit because it is not what I want to play. It's boring to me. Everything I do is slow, everything mobs do is cranked up to a 9000. I feel like I am playing a souls game now.

Here is my build, I have a relatively expensive build for season 2 and STILL can't go through the game like season 1: https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/undead_pleb-5842/LigmaExile?i=1&search=name%3Dligma

TLDR: The power fantasy is gone, won't touch the game until I can feel as powerful as my season 1 stormweaver again. You can't have people taste what they could have and then take it away.

I hope that's never gonna happen.

This is EA. GGG can make any changes they want.
