This isn't just business, this is also art, a creative process. The developers are making a game THEY love and trust me you want that. You want nuance, artistic choice, someone who will stand up and say "NO, WE ARE MAKING THIS, NOT YOU" or you get stuck with every generic studio on the market.

You're welcome to spend the time learning to develop a game, and spend the vast resources to make said game, and deal with the stress of running an entire company while people who have no concept of what it takes to develop said game call for your job over not getting their shinies fast enough.

Look we're all frustrated by parts of the game, right? I've had a lot of personal issues with the random crashes and the one shot mechanics coming from off screen. I don't think the trading mechanism is even remotely good enough right now. Itemization and materials can be a REAL chore. But if you look past the flaws and offer thoughtful insight and enough people do, those flaws can change.

Constructive criticism is imperative to success. Screaming and stomping your feet is not the way.

You might not know this but one of the original dev visions for poe was non permanent loot in parties. So anyone in your group could scoop up the best item drops even if they were putting in no work at all. The players had to complain to get it changed.

Also how is trading working out for the devs vision right now?

Jonathan said on the interview that he wants to make the game for himself instead of playerbase.

And also said that never tested WISPS on anything but Acts, so was surprised that Wisps do not work in Maps.

That was literally said in the interviews.

I assume they tried to make Maps like Acts (slow and boring) not realising that will not work, since Maps are all about juicing and going faster and faster (since there aren't goal such as Defeat Act Boss. It's all about improving character power now).

Without even playing Maps.


...Maybe if devs do not even play Endgame, let community decide what they want. Since it's already 35k online. It's pretty clear Ruthless isn't something most people want. And even if we're talking of the remaining, most play Lightning Spear (1 button build that clear as fast as possible).

(Not even talking about everyone who supported PoE1... Just to get PoE2 for 10 months, and with Chris, Rory and Hrishi leaving. PoE1 may be dead).
