1. you run away, and are sucked back in, run again, second mob vortexes you back in, run again, third mob vortexes you back in. It is almost the same effect as rubber banding, except designed that way.

3. time to up your difficulty past normal for more than urn runs or w/e

Doesn't offend me. You're just wrong. You drop upgrades in both games until you reach a point. Then the don't drop as often. That's how all gear based games work.

You prefer D3 for some unknown reason. You think it's because upgrades drop, but that's clearly not it. Think about it a bit and let me know why you really like it. There are lots of good reasons, but upgrades drop in both games, so that can't be it.

I find it fascinating that you know my opinion better than I do. Please, tell me more. Why do I like orange juice? What is really my favorite meal? I can learn so much from you!

1. It "vortexes" (wormholes) you if you stand on that mark. So no.

3. If you get one-shot in D3, you are playing a glass cannon build (maybe not cannon, but glass definitely), Mallet Lord is only one on my mind that can do that.
Which brings this question, if you do play that kind of build, why complain on one-shots?

Drops are just not even worth thinking about.. The ONLY time I've managed to make money on this game is by flipping items.

An abundance of god damn useless unique items, and even worse is that these useless unique items will drop from the hardest content. (ilevel 80 crown of thorns ftw..)

Too many USELESS stats can roll on items, just to add to the frustration.. and by useless I mean actually pointless to be on an item.. Who wants thorns? Or 6 life regen a second..? It's not like they offer even slight benefits that you can work with, they are just useless stats put in to make it harder to roll items.

Right so you want lots of drops, and all those drops have to be amazing and useful.... no concept of balance whatsoever, just childish entitlement.

My bad, I totally forgot about that mod, because it's so easy.
You can always separate monsters with that mod, so that you don't find yourself in that situation of one vortex after another.
And even if you do find yourself in that situation, you cannot be one-shot or even die in under 1-2 seconds if you know how to play (glass cannon reference also applies).
And that is coming from someone who plays a semi-glass cannon build.

There is really no debate on this subject, PoE is all about spike damage (severely over-capped resists and IC) in endgame.
And I find that fine, not great, not bad, but sadly, the whole alt+F4 being a game mechanic is a joke in my eyes.

Desync issue would be far less shitty if the situation was like it is in D3, for example, I've found myself a lot of times (50+, if not 100+) that I had to run around/away from elites and wait for potion cooldown or my Ignore Pain skill cooldown, pure adrenaline rush and this reaction "Oh no, I'm done, I'm going to die now, ruuun".

However, I find both good at some things, spike damage in PoE promotes theorycrafing, which made me do all sorts of shit in my tanking adventures, but it also brings an even uglier picture of desync (Vaal smash/Dominus's ToG without animation, etc.).

D3 = ARPG
PoE = Trading Simulator.

I know that this offends alot of people who are invested in PoE, but it's still true.

I heard they dumped the rmau on D3 (or changed or something) but do you know how laughable that statement is? I played D3 for a year, the game was trading and really thats it.

riiiiight the more dangerous of the two is worm hole.

D3 has way way more 'you have lost control of your character' mechanics than PoE, there is no debate. PoE has desync which is due to a design decision but is not intended part of the game, just a byproduct. D3 explicitly designed content that makes you lose control of your character, meaning you Have to have skills to regain control of your character, or just simply die to those mechanics. The results are fairly similar, i just feel their is more tactile responses to PoE desync than D3's you have lost control of your character.
