This video trolls current Poe players for sure, but it also disencourages others to start play poe. not good D3 treasure goblins's escape portal is an entrance to Wraeclast	Posted by Moeeom123#3573 on Nov 16, 2013, 7:20:12 PM Quote this Post
" exorzist wrote: obvious troll video is obvious. but he has some points though: the first 40 seconds is true and i also stated it often times. hardcore in poe is not "really" hardcore ... its semi-hardcore because of the reasons athene states and because of the fact that you can alt+f4. you cant do that in diablo3. when you die in d3 in hc, you are truly dead. your character is gone forever. in poe you still keep everything and can still play your character. thats not hardcore by all means. he is also right about the "trade" misery in poe. he is basically right when he is saying, why run around and kill stuff, when the best loot drops in town? ... he is being sarcastic, but in the end, he is spot on ... he hits the nail on the head. diablo3 had that same issue with the auction house. but in RoS the auction house will be gone. in fact, it will be gone on 18th of march 2014 already. poe will still has the miserable trade system in tact by then though. he is also right about poe being an "elitist" game. a lot of players here think they know-it-all, and talkin shit about D3 makes them real men or something. have to agree with you exorzist. Those players that think they know-it-all what will be in the future and talk shit about PoE all the time on the PoE-Forum. Makes them think they are real man or something. :D ---- The beginning of the video was good, I couldn't 100% tell if he is serious or not, mostly because I can understand that point of view. Later he overdid it a bit. Had a good laugh though. “Demons run when a good man goes to war"	Posted by Sneakypaw#3052 on Nov 16, 2013, 7:20:20 PM Quote this Post
I also want to mention that this is the reason why I like Athene. He is actually a good troll, people are wondering if he's serious or not because he makes some valid points and then overstates them in a not so obvious manner :) Good trolls are rare these days.

Poor Athene. Came to this game late. Kripp made his mark here. World first! Someone took the Account name and handle...who could it be I wonder??? Now go feed your poor African kids Athene, knowing that just 0.1% of your donations actually reach them ;) <3 your troll vids though! Keep them coming. Its true really, its all in the delivery, and also remember folks, when he works up your emotions up like that, it imprints him into your mind and gets him further views. Psychology 101! POE is a constantly evolving game, so expect balance changes, buffs and nerfs STILL!	Posted by THEHORNEDRAT#1516 on Nov 16, 2013, 8:05:47 PM Quote this Post
