Why continue playing?

Hello!

Im playing PoE since open beta, and i always got my motivation from creating new toons. I melted lvl72+ maps with a double redbeak Viperstrike Char like cheesecake after 2 weeks of ambush, and had STILL motivation to top that Char...


Sadly, after 4 weeks of Ambush i feel like i cant continue to enjoy PoE...

Reason?

My latest Char...


That absurd ammount of damage while being immune to reflect combined with the absurd ammount of defense which isnt really nessessary becouse of insta-gib-action made me finally get tired of the game...

Im really close to give my wealth + gear to the next random noob asking for help against cruel Piety...

Why should i continue playing now? Reach a few more Level or a 10ex upgrade to melt a boss in 1,2 instead of 1,25 seconds?

I just cant get any Motivation anymore...

=(

Okay. I give up. Too many cognitive disadvanted people around who cant even READ a few lines before posting.

I miss old Internet times when the pure access to Internet itself required a moderate ammount of intellect...

do some of the new ladder challenges? once I get bored I plan on doing those

The bragging is strong in this one.
Play a custom build with whatever RNG gives you. Much better.
Prove something to yourself.

There are many legitimate reasons why people get tired of the game, but "yeah my build is super OP and I have the best gearz this side of Wraeclast" isn't one.

Bye

Can I get some help against cruel piety :) Someone had to do it!

Im not here to bragg, im here for the reason i told. You probably dont understand me. But that does not mean my Problem dont exist.

My Gear is far away from being the best in Wraeclast for sure. But it is enough combined with OP mechanics to just make it senseless to make any further Char Progress...

You dont look like a noob. But i really giggled about your comment sir... =)

when you learn that there is a winning strategy(in any game), it becomes hard to not use it and the game gets trivialized

games are more fun when you are a noob

Take a break from the game, play something else for a while - then come back later and see if you're motivated to play again.

What about games like Stratego or chess? Some people spend their entire lives playing them and they never get old. PoE was great even after the noob phase wore off back in closed beta and even during open beta. Things have changed.

Is this your first powerful build or something? Believe it or not there is builds that can clear much faster and many are even tankier.

Judging by your character levels you've barely even attempted difficult highend maps. There is a huge difference between doing a 70 map and a 78 map with difficult mods.
