Why is GGG caving in to casuals' demands?

Are you mad about this? Here is a tip: Go play some BLIZZARD GAMES. After you've seen how much they cater to casuals, randoms, and a vocal minority of non-playing forum trolls that want a dumbed-down lottery game, then return to POE and you'll be happy on a relative basis
I remember the days when hardcore players were players who played any games and made the game harder on themselves. There seems to be a breed of gamers like op who seem to blame the devs for making the game to easy, when in fact all they need to do is use a bit of creativity. POE is open I'm pretty sure you can find many ways to make the game more challenging for yourself if u anted to. In fact there's a post going around about completing the game just with blues. You could even challenge yourself by using only half the passive points u get, perhaps no use of gems. I'm sure u can come up with something. Also i would imagine that sfl is within this idea.
Why is the OP clueless?
Nothing to see here.

Funny thing is, in WoW, you couldn't just buy progress.

It isn't the WoW players that is tainting the aRPG genre. It's the D2jsp generation.

Of course you don't die any more, you likely buy every item you ever use, ready made to fit perfect stats.

That is by design in PoE, from the beginning, the game doesn't get easy, it is easy by design.
Casually casual.

thinly veiled accusation, bro.

i'm a solo player and i know how to save my currency. because of this, almost 2 months into nemesis, i have over 50 exalts and can afford almost anything i want.

i'm also pretty sure your post is against the rules

Really not sure how it's against the rules?
Buying your gear is by design.

That said, if you are self found, my apologies.

Edit, wait, "and can afford almost anything i want" dafuq? :/

Ahh, edit 2. I wasn't referencing D2jsp for 'outside currency', or accusing you of doing such. The reference was to the availability of every piece of gear that dropped for anyone (should they want to sell it) for anyone to buy. The genre took a turn for the worse when modern communication got involved with old loot models. Even Blizz has realised this now. GGG ? Well they just went the whole hog, bastardising the loot-finder beyond comprehension.
Casually casual.

I thought it has less to do with GGG but more with people being efficient at playing this game. Anyone mind posting a list of things GGG did to make the game easier?

cba to make a list, but a lot of mobs have been nerfed since release

ie Caliga, devourers, etc among many other mobs have been made faceroll easy due to whiners on the forums

many things they do don't make it into the patch notes by the way

In their patch notes, they can say what they change...but it takes you experiencing those changes to actually realize what actually changed in some cases. Case and point: SHOCK-AND-HORROR Boss.

I would say the majority of this game is "easy". But then again, this game seems to love "spike damage"...

You're fine, you're fine, you're fine....and BAM. You're dead. In an instant.
