You are bored of playing until level 100? Dont do it
You can't try other builds because you focus on your main and prefer to level to 100, and then after doing it you will be tired? Well, it's your problem, not PoE problem. I play a character normally in hardcore until, 70-75. I finish the game, and then, I do a couple maps or so, and normally prefer to try a new build rather than leveling until 100 in an INCOMPLETE beta game. Maybe if game got 10 acts and monsters till level 99, then I would try to make. But not in the state.

So you're saying that you shouldn't finish your builds? Or that you feel there's no problem that the game makes it so prohibitively expensive to race the ladder (something that a lot of players wouldn't mind doing) that they need to resort to RMT?

No. Im telling this is a BETA, and just, we suppose the will be fine later on, not actually.

Honestly, I played many betas, and usually players are only able to reach some levels, like 30-35 or things like that. Even less in other games.

PoE is even an exception, you can go even far. For me its not a reason to complain, just to say "thanks".

And, as I said, in a beta the main purpose is to test things, different things, many builds. Not just grind one character pretending the game is finished. The problem is inside the mind that things this way inside a beta of a game, I think.


PS: no offense intended, sorry if my bad English sounds in a bad way.


And anyway, an opinion from a random hidden guy (guys) inside a second account means exactly ZERO.

Nothing against that, but you should respect that there are players who feel joy when they climb in the ladder, feel the adrenaline of a close call with lvl 90+, want to be rich etc

If map drops were adjusted to DIFFICULTY (not just roll maze) .....

Yeah man, you are right there.
But anyway, for me its not a problem of the game. I repeat: if a player is greedy enough or [insert what you want] enough or dont have enough patience to play a grind ARPG like this, then my recommendation is to move on to other ARPG. There are many out there, and there are lot different. So respect that about PoE, dont try to make PoE a random ARPG like others there!

Many of the things why some of guys like me are here, is because GGG promised us during close beta a dificult, extremely grinding ARPG game, more oldschool. If I dont like an ARPG; I move on. I did in others, I didnt go to their forums saying "pleaseee remove respecs idiots, pleaseee make grinding hard, I like, pleaseee remove AH". I take the game for what they are supposed to be. If I like, I stay, if not, I move. There are many for god shake. But trying to make this like "random ARPG" is not good in the long way.

This is just for people who like the grind and like to grind a lot to find items and currency. I understand if some people dont have the time/patience for that, but again my recommendation is change your mind a bit, or move on, but leave us with the game we love and with the game GGG promised to us.


To GGG: stay hard, dont hesitate. And don't change your mind in the PoE fundamentals. Or in the end you will lose not only the greedy/not patience guys, but also your true community. The guys that love grinding to 99 could take YEARS, the guys that think that an exalted drop shoud be one in a million days, and the guys like me that think that a 6L should be one in a life: a luxury. Please dont stab in the back to the guys that trusted you as a company and the saviours of the oldschool ARPG genre.

It's unfinished, the costs are prohibitive too much which imo is excessive but that's one topic. Another is, you're not SUPPOSED to get that high, or finish your toon just yet. It's simply unfinished.

There are people out there that will do whatever they can to be 'first', resorting to RMT, it's not new nor surprising. It's stupid, but it's what it is. RMTs prosper for a reason, not just here everywhere. People want 'I win NOW' just like people want lvl 100, nothing will prevent that.

While I agree with 'solutions' in a lot of ways, and I've bitched about costs more times than I can remember, I don't see it being a solution for this particular problem. The problem is in people's minds, and it's there to stay. Once we can reach 100 by regular means, due to game evolving and getting more acts/higher level zones, then what? Will RMT somehow die?

Sure as fuck it won't. There will be something 'new' that only few have and you HAVE to have. RMT is problem of human nature. There's a fucking reason more and more companies accept blizz's view of 'let's beat RMT by joining them'.

And if there is nothing worth RMTing for for said people, then the game is too easy/casual anyway cause that means there's no goal worth striving for that can't be reached in casual gameplay, therefore dead.

Remember banning companies accounts and operations is good, but banning some guy who is just buying stuff in order to have fun in your game is not.

I totally disagree! They are cheating, and in direct violation of the ToU. BAN is what they should do when they catch such folks, and when they do, if they have microtransactions, they should ban the real identity as well.

No because if that player is spending money on the game like that, then it's clear he likes the game and wants to play it which is good for the overall population and support of GGG. They need to ensure they can keep him interested legitimately by providing him with the content he desires so that he doesn't have to resort to RMT.

I was with you, kind of.

Until you started with this crap.

Now... GTFO, gaming has been slowly getting ruined by you and your type for the last 15 years.

Edit, how do you feel about the people who have had their accounts compromised, everything gone, sold by the RMT people who YOU support?

Fkn trash, dude, trash.

it's random, your personal bias makes you think "maze" is the secret ingredient to finding more maps

i've rolled an 80%+ quantity map with maze and rare monsters, and not a single map dropped. it's completely random.

It's random but it's not like the +quantity and # of enemies is somehow useless.
