If your game is fun, people will play it, regardless. This whole mentality of "If people get x,y,z too fast will quit" is retarded. People played Mario 1 for years without getting bored. People played D2 for more than a decade without getting bored. These games were fun, if your game is fun, people will play it.

My solution would be to implement a exchange system for uniques. As example you got your character to lvl 70, you can exchange you lvl 70 character for x unique item. You could have different tier of this. As example, voltaxic, soultaker, shav's, koams, could be lvl 80 exchange.
While lioneye, bor, and other lesser still powerful uniques could be lvl 70. You could even add rares into the mix that have X mod's on them up to 2 for crafting purposes.

This is probably the greatest idea I've read on this forums.
It would be enable replayability to huge amount. Cause you can always change your finished chars into build enabling uniques you want to try. If the build sucks, dump the char, get new unique, roll again.

Nice one. And this would be high rewarding.

Closed/Open beta supporters. Many have donated $200 or more to the game, and have completed multiple challenges as well as having many lvl 80+ characters

Meanwhile GGG still condescendingly dismisses community feedback as noob-wishes after a year and a half.

How long do you think it will take GGG before they realise they are not divine dev gods and their game is filled with problems?

I sincerely think it is the constant stream of new content added that is giving you guys the illusion that the game is shit. There is always that next patch with new skills and new uniques to look forward to, that future new chapter we'll get, etc. etc.

In Diablo 2 you had much less support - 1 expansion and a bunch of patches, most of which didn't even add content - that allowed for solid builds to settle, items to have precise value, there were the things like Natalia's set, those items everyone knew. Not that they're lacking in PoE, but it is constantly changing and can't settle, unlike Diablo that changed only a few times since its release... the design policies that govern the two games are totally different just because of that. Because PoE needs to change, it is in the core of the design of the game.

Maybe they can slow down the introductions of new skills and items. Introduce them all with the start of a 4 month league, along with a new act. That way - there has been 4 months for the game to settle, then you have a new cycle starting, bringing in A TON of changes to keep everyone excited again. The idea is to move to a more expansion-like updates, instead of the current bits of new content we're getting right now.

That is my two cents how to make PoE greater. However, I think it is a completely amazing game regardless. I am sincerely happy PoE exists.

It all can combine to a feeling that the system is against you and that you can never really master the content, all the while you do see that it works for others, but seemingly only to those who employ a very specific playstyle.
