There are a few things:
1. Rare Devourers in the gardens
2. Desync when playing on a hardcore league, especially Merciless Kole and Dominus.
3. GGG staying so narrowly focused on hardcore that they only keep a very
small player base long term, don't stay afloat financially, is forced
to close down, and none of us get new content or acts.
"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

What about poe scares or excites all of you? What are you hopeful for?
I get all excites when GGG gates content behind many, MANY justified layers of RNG and then says when people QQ like lil casual girly girls about it says 'its okie and dokie the economy is you're friend, your lover and you are saviour. Now bow at the altar of RNGesus and give Him your daily bread and hours.''
I am hopeful MY meatshake gets even harder to swallow cuz, you know, moar hardcore!!! game for gamers not casual noob soup salads. I hope they start gating rares not just uniques and make drop rates for orbs 2-3 times worse cuz, you know, protect economy!!!!! But mit's ok cuz we get cool new MTX stuffs so they can make even more overtuned a3x contents for the arnie hardcore ascended gaemrs!!! Not, repeat, NOT to fix deysnc cuz as you've seen in every other online game who has much worser desync than Path of Excellence they cannot possibly achieve better success with it and MUST obviously make more microtransactions so you can buy them and so they can make more mtx!!
Flaming baby carebears mtx '14!!
/RNGesus FTW!!
/casuals please buy mtx before you quite so Path of Excellence has moar moneys for hardcore gamerz game!!!
Edit: On a serious note; GGG don't let an account purchase microtransactions until a character on that account reaches level 85, I bet we would see a sharp drop in those sales. Point is I bet the majority of microtransaction sales are to clueless noobs who will leave the game shortly after realizing the many fundamental flaws it has, which makes these sales borderline illegitimate.
I'm sorry you feel this way, as do alot of others. I used to. And GGG and PoE are not perfect examples of anything. But one thing they are a good example of, is staying true to their idea and concept of their game, and also doing their best to cater to the fans. Desync has been addressed many times. Any potential fixes they come up with have serious drawbacks. Are you really so blind as to say GGG loves that desync is in the game? GGG are not lazy. I know most of them work 12+ hours a day. They are still backlogged on uniques as well. The fact that this game is ever evolving is a good thing in the long term. D2 has been virtually unchanged for years, and it's still a good game to go back to every now and then, but admittedly it is stale. Am I a fan of gated uniques? Not really. At least not behind bosses of maps so hard that barely anyone can take them on, and then the reward is a few junk rares. I read on a few occasions that they want to improve the drop rates of the more difficult bosses, so its a good balance between risk/reward. Check out the thread where I believe Rhys answers alot of questions. Good insight into GGG, and their thought process. I am just about tired of all the complaining on the RNG aspect. That's how they want it, and it has been working fine so far. Perfect? No. Working as intended? yes. 6Ls are not required, and as such, are a nice goal to have. Whether it be crafting one, finding one, or buying one. 5Ls are a dime a dozen and are all one really needs for an effective end game build. I enjoy many genres, but if you want to play an ARPG that has a focused loot table, and with a finish line practically in your face, then play Monster Hunter. Amazing game, I've sunk more than 2000+ hours in the latest game MH3U, and tons of hours on the imports. But this game is a game inspired by D2 heavily, but not a copy of it. And I am glad GGG is the team behind it. I believe it will last alot longer, and evolve alot better over the course of time than D2.
Ya I am sorry I feel this way too, guess that's why I took the time to post it. I can't help GGG has washed all feelings but cynicism for the game for me. And to your point on GGG wanting rng to be this way I can't help but think they have it this way because they don't know how to do a better system than just having tons of layers of rng. My favorite D2 inspired game is titan quest and that game just does so much more right than PoE. And also with GGG and PoE they shouldn't have made it into an mmo with a massive economic focus, they simply don't have the capacity to balance individual rewards to trade. So to put it short; GGG bit off more than they can chew and promised more than they can deliver while protecting themselves by using 'hardcore' and 'economy/trade2win' as excuses. So ya, I am a little butthurt. I still think PoE can be the game its capable of being if GGG would just listen to the community and get out of the game's way with their ill-considered ideologies.

That another volley of GGG patented nerfs is going to ruin yet another handful of my characters builds.

The few doom prophets we have around here.
And not what they say, the fact that they have nothing else to do.
But in game, anything that explodes corpses is kinda fucky. I hate killing a pack of massive blue cinder elementals knowing that those fire mage chicks are just waiting to throw flammability on my ass and send me to hell.
I usually try to take them down first, but sometimes shit like soul conduit can be more than annoying. Also bitches be sneaky. Until they start screaming, which isn't sneaky.

I'm scared of it crumbling into a game that no longer improves, just gets more interesting but unwanted features every couple weeks.
So much potential held back by too small a dev team trying to provide more than they really can.

This. The next time I manage to stop playing, I'm uninstalling the game and never coming back for the sake of my brain and life.
