More like just another troll, making up a story to support the negative narrative they love to weave. While I am sure that there are people in ALL tiers of play who rely on RMT gear to get ahead, this "anonymous confession" doesn't add up.
That said, RMT traders are the greedy, preying on the lazy. ='[.]'=
And you and people like you are the reason why things won't improve. Turning a blind eye and not willing to accept reality is not a solution to a growing problem.

Hi.
You're the original big spender so Savitr told me that the 'LOL' applies double to you
Charan is the boss, when it comes to donating money to this game, ( I want what ever job he has ). I think he has 3 of each packs? Think I remember reading that in CB.
And op we know you are on default, due to your wording in first post, which I also quoted in my last. Something about goals to play hardcore, which means you are default.

He isn't burnt out though. He is not bored of the game. He just feels forced to use rmt to keep having fun by doing high maps.
Whose fault is that though? When you play that much that often you're bound to come up with problems and frustrations. It works the other way too, when you get super casuals that barely play complaining about ridiculous things.
What makes these complaints less legitimate is that they are about endgame content in a game where endgame is nowhere near finished.

What a sickeningly pathetic response.
I am trying to be polite, but you aren't even addressing any of the actual concerns posted.
You just lump him in a category, and write off all criticism of this game (most of which in this forum is intended to be constructive criticism) as trolling.
I would normally expect a lot more from a mod.
I am disappointed.

Oh god I'm in tears.
I don't know where you trolls are coming from.
1. How do you know which league I play on, there is no character associated with this account
2. How would you know how many builds I've tried?
3. Why must you troll? Are you that upset? I took the time out of my day tossed light on what's going on, wether you accept it or not, don't post just for the sake of trolling without any information being you.
Actually, I know exactly who you are, though don't worry, I won't post your name or explain how I know. As I said in your apparent double post thread, none of what you said is anything new. Any high lvl player in CB knows that you CANNOT obtain both wealth, amazing gear, and lvl all at the same time.
While I am glad you made this post, the truth of the matter is, you are by no means elite. This is like saying I use game genie, and I'm the best SNES player in (insert game here). Sorry.
While I don't agree that you shouldn't be brought back down to lower level maps guaranteed. I have in the past suggested that map floors should be introduced based on the maps IIQ. While some builds could "abuse" this, currently, this is the only way the game determines map difficulty. Players should be rewarded for playing difficult maps. Currently, this is not entirely the case.

I can appreciate you disagreeing with my solutions, I do not claim them to be the right choices or the best, they are my opinion, however I think we can both agree for the sake and health of the game that the current system cannot stay like this.
I was very hesitant to come out with this thread, as I don't want to make the game look bad, I love the game and my friends love it to, but I felt the risk of "outting" what's going on was far less of a concern to me then the overall success an future of the game as a whole.

I'm not sure if your of age to understand how elections for president, prime minister, queen or whatever body you want in real works, but ill attempt to use it to illustrate how your claim is not true.
What happens during elections? Various third party entities often perform "early polls" to try and determine which party is ahead in the campaigns. Mos of the time the polls involve a very tiny fraction of the population and generally turns out to be extremely accurate in the big picture.
That principal is applied here, small fractions of the experienced community can be an accurate representation of the whole wether you agree or not.
Funny how you condescend ('I'm not sure if your (lel) of age') but are talking nonsense yourself. Political polls have to represent the whole population, that's why if you want to do something like that you have to ask people from all kinds of demographics and weight the raw data to not distort the results. If done correctly, you can then extrapolate the results to the whole population and will probably get accurate ones.
You belong to ~0,1% of the top players so you represent a very small population of PoE players, and your opinion only counts for your small fraction (assuming they all agree with you). Dellusions is right.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

You're missing the point here. The point is that, regardless of how much you play (you could rush to level 90 in 2 weeks or do it over a span of 4 months), but once you get there, you basically only get anything out of playing high level maps, which are nearly impossible to sustain with the drop rates as they are in the game.
Thus if you want to sustain high level maps (aka the only worthwhile maps for your high level character), you probably have to resort to RMT or d2jsp. That's not a healthy model for the game to take.

Many of us want to move on to other projects like "new builds" and "hardcore"
Anyway any HC player could feel from your post you didn't play the real game.
This game force you to reroll each time you die, we can feel you didn't experienced that at all.
Anyway with only 3 80+ chars, I'm flooded with currency and can sustain 72+ maps, rolling a map is only 4 chisels+1 alch+couple chaos, once every 6 maps whith a full group, this can almost be paid just with the alteration shards you gain from your loot in 6 maps.

And what exactly are the opinions of players who don't try to level their characters into the higher levels (and thus require high level maps) worth when the subject is sustaining high level maps?
Yes, it's probably a minority of players that have to deal with what the top players do, but it's still a real problem at that level.
