Some people don't want this to be an MMOARPG

After reading many of the complaints all over the forums, it seems most people who have a complaint would prefer this game as something else.

He is a list of common complaints with my perspectives/replies:

- Complaint: "This game is boring, all you do is spam the same skills over and over"

- My reply: It's an Action RPG, not a turn-based strategy game.

- Complaint: "There's no self-found league!"

- My reply: It's an MMO, not a single player game.

- Complaint: "desync ect ect"

- My reply: It's not LAN, it's an online game. (and yes, I know, improvements can be made, and as GGG has said they will be, but some people expect perfection in this department which is extremely unrealistic)

- Complaint: "Trading is hard/grievous"

- My reply: That's because haggling and bartering is part of an online economy. (and yes, there is a lot of bartering that goes on in-game)

- Complaint: "X build is OP"

- My reply: Every build has strengths and weaknesses, and any build, if done right, can be good. (Assuming it's not something like CI/BM)



I'm probably missing some common complaints, but yeah, this kinda sums it up.

Maybe people can understand someday this game is an MMOARPG and not anything else, and hopefully, is meant to stay that way. I'm in no way saying the game is perfect, but I definitely feel people may have lost sight of what an ARPG is, especially when it's also an MMO.


EDIT: for the people saying it's not an MMO, yes, it is. It's officially classified as one.
this isnt an MMO.


Entirely instanced game = not MMO.

You're right, I don't want an ARPG to be an MMO. :D

Actually it is...

You do know you have to be online, on the game's servers, with millions of other people to play it, right?

FYI don't just read a thread's title and reply to it based on that, it's annoying...
Fairly sure no one wants this to be an MMO.
It must be nice weather in the world you live, MMO.. pff go back to wow :)

wait what, millions?^^ since when does poe have millions of players? they have like 30k players via steam, maybe less. fairly sure the ratio of players between their own launcher and steam isn´t that skewed

only in the loosest terms possible, it's like saying CoD is an mmo, it's not, but since it's online and many people play it it is.
