If you don't want to make a team, you should not complain about a lack of teamwork from a bunch of random people you've never met or even talked too.

A team must have a common goal, and a common set of rules to obtain that goal.

If you want a team, start one. Otherwise, don't complain.

There's nothing wrong with teaming up with friends. The problem is the public party system. For now, I'm rolling solo. Zero interest in the public grind. If I got my jollies from ninjaing loot from my team, I'd have to kick my own ass.

Why join public parties at all? Annnd... why not complain about an element of the game which is more fun. If it takes away from the prestige of the precious group you roll with, make the public loot less rewarding than team loot. Keep the 'team' loot cutthroat and have public game loot individual with no group bonus? I dunno.

Right now, public games suck large.

Game sure is fun solo though :)

My.post wasn't aimed at you Stryker.

Also, that's what the people who don't like the current system said. Once OB comes, pub parties will.be a ghost town. What was the reality?

More pub games than ever before.

Honestly if I said that I was being hasty or overly optimistic with my point. There are far too many people playing for there to not be a visually decent amount of public games.

However, Does everyone in those games like the current loot system the way that it is?

Also, ghost town still might be a decent description compared to the overall population of the game. There is no way to know without releasing all of the data.

There's also no way to know for sure what portion of the population is happy with FFA without a good poll. Oh well.

Sorry about responding when you weren't talking to me.

More pub games than ever before.

This was anticipated as early as closed beta and its simple reasoning:
-public parties were few in closed beta with a total population of 1000-2000 max.
-in open beta the total population is 50k? so its normal that "pub games are more than ever before."
-its only 3 weeks after open beta launch, lets give it some time (months) to settle down in order for us to reach a somehow solid conclusion.

The question is: are they more as a percentage than closed beta? will they be more after a few months from open beta launch?
I guess we will never know as devs dont want to share the numbers with us.

I bet you are not even 20...so easy to lie about your age but your posts show your real age... Kiddo

Lol, married in 1995 moron. But keep insisting that you know who i am kiddo. By the way did you already found that loothack you claimed to go using if GGG doesn't change their lootsystem? See i play the game by the book, you on the other hand are willing to cheat people out of loot with a hack. Now who is the adult here?

Although not completely accurate for ALL Path of Exile players, Xfire shows a steady decline in player numbers as each day passes.

The game is probably losing a large portion of players because of this shitty loot system. Obviously, the desyncs, random crashes and lack of content at the moment also contribute, but the loot system is the most discussed topic when it comes to Path of Exile.

To bad you aren't one of those leaving.

you shouldnt be surprised that people think of you as a "kid", the "quality" of your posts give you away easily. Being an adult and making these posts is even worse.

I couldn't care less of the quality of my posts on the internet. If they want to think that i am a kid that's their opinion which means nothing in the real world. Born 1966, married 1995 and still rocking. And yes my wife plays the game too and hates the current loot-system and plays only solo. Grow some balls, the world isn't lala-land. This game isn't lala-land. -----> hello kitty that way
