Why is GGG caving in to casuals' demands?

The constant is that people will always complain.
Thread was created in junction with the influx of "SFL Naow!" -threads.

I think that will be the last nail in the coffin if GGG ever caved in on that. It will utterly destroy what PoE is about.

Also there's only like 1 person (sodium777) constantly spamming multiple of those SFL threads to make it seem that it's a legitimate demand. Straight public opinion manipulation.

SFL would make the game less casual, though. Trading trivializes the content to a decisive degree. Now, SFL with improved drop rates would be something I'd be opposed to as well (or rather: not be interested in, I'm generally "pro choice"), but an Iron Man style SFL would make the game harder and less casual.
The fact that people lobbied against permanent loot still baffles me.
Permanent loot is not automatically assigned when a party is created. You have to manually change from short allocation. Hence nobody forces you to use it and what prevents you from forming a core group of like minded players who prefer FFA looting? Show some initiative.
Loot allocation aside:

Puncture got nerfed.
Exp. loss in Cruel and Merciless has been lowered (not an issue for HC players, sure)
Lightning thorns got nerfed.

Off the top of my head. I'm sure there is more.
Not that I'm worried about it personally, but OP doesn't fantasize about stuff being easier.

On the other hand we have Dominus, Devourers and Bubblers (whatever those are, but I hear they're not nice) to balance that out (in a way).

Agree, the game has become totally casual. GGG cavin' much! For example:

1.) You can party with / get carried by others and this makes the content a total faceroll. Content its not even a challenge worthy your time. It's also practically impossible to die in party, except by technical issues.

2.) When you need something, a piece of gear or a gem, you just buy it. Instant gratification trading - totally casual!! We dont take kindly to casuals here, D3 is that way -->>

3.) In so called hurrdurrcore, when a top streamer dies, he just sells his gear for cross-league exalts, and with the help of his buddies (and possibly a pinch of RMT magic) is back on top farmin' maps the very next day.



...wait a minute...


Oh, noes! The game was always designed for casuals!!


Saw thread, saw OP, was about to make a reply, then saw Morbo had already made it.

Word for word.

These threads always amuse me, the game was and is casual from the core.
For crying out loud you can buy anything and everything in a game where every player on earth is connected.

You even get achievements, so called 'challenges' for shopping.
I only just saw they did the whole pretend challenges again this 4 month league.

Shopper? Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Lol
Casually casual.
