People are not playing now because of d3/eso, but everyone will be back soon.

I'm not playing D3/RoS, I'm not playing EOS, and I also haven't logged into PoE in a few days.

Getting irritated with Chris' policy of promising or announcing stuff and then simply ignoring it (ball lightning for 1.1.1 or 1.1.2, new trading system, etc.). Meanwhile, we get more mtx, we get more invasion bosses, and we get yet more gated content (new unique map), and nothing is done about people who RMT to their heart's content.

Actual communication is at an all time low.

The one fun thing about this "expansion", the lockboxes, was nerfed into oblivion. Heaven forbid people could actually have fun playing a video game.

Feel free to quote Chris saying "i promise a better trade system and ball lighting in 1.1 and 1.1.2"

Also, they're doing (probably) their best against RMT sites, but you know, they're not posting every damn day "we banned X accounts due to RMT". You're free to give Chris any revolutionary idea to detect correctly a player who abused RMT, nono wait, better say your ideas to employees who implement mtx directly, since they're clearly also the ones that fights RMT and program the game.

Yeah, I was really excited for some PvP tournaments. When they were announced they were portrayed as "arriving shortly". Well, it's been a while. I know people will rage that things aren't balanced, but I think it will be fun for most people anyhow.

Make an effort to educate yourself at least a little. :) The information is readily available, but can't be posted here. While you are at it, Google a little bit on Chris' history in that context (hint: interview with Forbes from a longer time ago), and it'll make more sense.

Is this about the conspiracy of Chris founding GGG with money he earned with RMTing in D2? Or is it about Chris being the biggest RMTer in PoE? Whatever it is, I better prepare my tinfoil hat..
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
D3 Fanboy: PoE is boring and has shitty graphics and desync

PoE Fanboy: D3 leaves you with no choices and is too ez!

How about an actual fully neutral opinion:

D3 RoS has excellent combat and a good story line. Its fun and with the paragon levels you have some more choices. You can really use any skill and its fun. However, there is no trading and its pretty much the SFL everyone wants, and is far more fluid and graphically superior since, ya know, blizzard is 100 times bigger than GGG and has the funds to do so. Its pretty much gauntlet legends on steroids.

PoE, has the item factor of d2, where when you find your shako/jah rune or your shavs/kaoms you know you found it and you freak out. Has a far larger customization system, and people are going to say yeah well everyone is cookie cutter, and I think thats far from true. PoE, from a difficulty standpoint, is way harder. D3 gives you artificual difficulty in terms of moving a bar to scale enemies, which I guess is comparable to rolling a map with no mods. But no mod palace dom will kill your family still and ezmode malth you can afk and kill with thorns.

In the end it really just comes down to what you are looking for. Personally I play both depending on which friends are on which game. People need to stop comparing everything and freaking out on the d3/poe or the dota/lol level, each game is very different. Just because they fit the same mold (arpg/moba), they are completely different games and really just come to preference.

Tl;dr nipples

I agree on everything but the good story line (it's horrid) and superior graphics (it's WoW from an aerial perspective).
