Just another facepalm worthy thread where a person discloses that they play the game 10+ hours a day, day in and day out and then shift blame on developers for burning out on the game.

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.

Resorting to RMT is cheating, I am not saying otherwise.

That said this issue is much more severe for semi casual and casual players. I've rerolled many times since advancing beyond low 70 maps is not fun and is wealth consuming. Even with all that wealth wasted you still rely on RNG to advance(and usually end up going down map tiers).

They can eventually add more endgame but I see no good reason to stop people from legitamately getting 100 after 100s of hours. Especially in PoE where rerolling is quite fun so there is no issue with players reaching 100.

Given the sizable cadre of forum posters who absolutely love to run this game into the ground, I am more than a little suspicious of this thread. Why would an "elite player" feel the need to out himself and his fellows?

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. ='[.]'=

this is a beta, and the original poster is saying that the end game of this game is unsustainable without using RMT sites or d2jsp. that is bad. your game is not supposed to encourage cheating just to play what you've designated as "the end of the game".

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.

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.

Oh so only the players who play path of life nodes know what the real game is.

Please find me a top 10 player (on any league) that doesn't pay money for the game, freeload tons of maps from parties, or streams. Better yet, find a top ten player that gets there playing solo. The problem of sustaining high level maps is the same regardless of league.

they didn't come into this topic to have their minds changed, they came in here to condescend and flame people.

Am I the only person who doesn't actually believe he's a top tier player? I mean 6 pages and nobody even says "You aren't a top tier player".

I respect what you are trying to do OP but without any sort of proof I don't believe you. I could very easily make a new account and claim the same things.

Anyway, somewhat on topic, I believe that this game has a terrible end game system. The map system needs a complete overhaul. It's just so bad, god. *sigh*.

There's been plenty of people who stated he wasn't an elite/top player, including people who claim that he can't be a top player because he plays in "scrubcore." Reading can be pretty fun.

This guy gets it.

If it's impossible to sustain your own gameplay without "grinding backwards" you fucked up the drops, and the overall balance of the universe you tried to create.

Nobody wants to grind backwards.

People love to grind, but they like to grind FORWARDS.

Even WoW, as pathetic as that game is, does not force players to go backwards an entire raid boss if they don't get a lucky drop.

edit: heres a silly idea.

what if they did the same thing to magic finding in general? if you dont find a unique item in a given area more than 10x in a row, you are forced backwards one area in the game. right back until normal hillock. you dont like it? grind hillock for that unique drop, maybe it will be godly!! then you can go to the next level and you will have your 10 tries to get to the next one....

"gated" system.

Yuck.

the difficulty is on purpose. GGG's idea was for people to stick around on their character forever, slowly building it up.

path of exile is a game where you either treat it like a job or you don't make progress, which makes you sign in less.

edit: don't even get me started on how the game's community is a pretty shitty one. no one has any idea how to play this game.

i don't think the population numbers will be large enough to sustain this game into Diablo 2 status, where people have countless builds/ideas over years of trying things out.
