Streamers are the problem

streamers are not the problem at all.
that's a rant, take it with a grain of salt:

imho streamers are an issue, but not for the reasons the op mentioned.

streamers drop the skill-ceiling expectation of casuals that don't invest much time, and us no-lifers then get banned for cheating solely because casuals are casuals that cannot fathom how good a tryhard no-lifer actually can be.

hint: streamers usually are casual-lvl themself.

followed with that, games get balanced around casuals, cuz that's obviously the majority of the playerbase in most games. and us no-lifers then get the back-end of the stick

gosh i wish the old days back when gaming wasn't mainstream.

/end-rant
pls
-add "Advanced Targeting System" to the options so we can disable accessibility-stuff
-fix skills w/o movement to NOT MOVE YOU when using Attack Without Moving i.e. Ice Strike
-rework: enemies instant-spells = math-game || very unfitting for meaningful combat cuz can't avoid with skill
thx <3

All this can be fixed by nerfing (deleting) Trade.
Nope. Streamers are just players and blaming your players for your bad game is not going to get you anywhere.

The "Fault" lies at the feet of GGG & TenCent who took 12 years of acquired lessons in building an ARPG, decided all of their customers were morons,, and decided to build it a different way, assuming that the players would all follow like stupid sheep. Blaming your CUSTOMER is a good way to go out of business. And sorry but the people that like the game right now are in the EXTREMELY SMALL minority. If it were one streamer or 2 you could dismiss it. But virtually every streamer has had at LEAST serious criticism of the game, if not outright dislike for it. And guess what, so do their players and the numbers show.

Cool, lets UNLEARN another hard learned lesson and assume all players are going to slog through the game for hundreds of hours to have fun. You may have someone paying your bills but most of us have to work buddy. I play SSF by choice and so can you. Since I have a great career and like SSF I know I wont get as far as others. I am OK with that. I am not OK that basically there is very limited crafting because SSF players need to craft gear. Eliminate trade and keep random drops and no crafting and you will have 2k concurrent players in a month ... if you are lucky.
I don't know if leaving Streamers are the root cause of this but inflation is going down it seems.
