Hell iv been the head of flag waveing campains against GGG changes ( FFA loot changes for 1 i was against perma loot ) that i have lost. Sometimes however people are wrong so they don't get thier way. THAT"S WHAT MAKE"S GGG GREAT THAT THEY LISSEN TO US. I did not say don't post you opinion your fine to post whatever you want about whatever you want. Also did you notice i did not purches the latest pack ?
I did so cuz i love PoE and i feel that GGG has the potential to make this game truly great ,that paired with a buissnes model i want to suport in the games industry vs the pay2win bullshit or buggy AAA content lacking models we see all to offten. So what if i tossed alot of money at GGG. I did say i don't post over and over again about evreything ( some tings i do you bet cuz i care about what happens to this game ) What do you mean im fine with it ? I said i always post my opinions 1 way or the other, sometimes im with the general feeling sometimes im not. That being said if someone really hates the lab then by all means let us hear about it, if you can bring an argument that has legs to stand on rather than " my build sucks ass for the lab so it's game breaking and i hate it " then i will lissen perhaps even comment. No need to repeat myself in evrey thread, GGG gets it. Iv said my pice on it a few times that i like it and feel it's a good part of the game, that breaks up the other content and gives us diffrent ways of focousing a character build. So if GGG has to ware a bit of hate over it for now, no big deal to me. long term it's a fantastic part of the game in IMO. However with GGG im confident that they can sift through the bullshit and do whats right. look at how mass posting has fucked up recent new games like the division, having the company break core parts of the game dew to overwhelming demand only to find out that the players really did not want what they wher asking for and ended up breaking the end game systems of the game since they simply did not understand them. With other games i feel like not getting the other side of the story out is dangrous. Iv giving up trying to get my point's across to some folks.

Then on the subsucent 100 + threads about the same fucking thing i just don't bother. Supporter packs are supposed to jump-start a beta into launch, they're financial training wheels for fuck's sake.įor myself i ususaly post my arguments against a idea i dislike once or twice. It should have become self-sustaining by now, just like every other successful F2P game. Really, guys, a game in it's third year shouldn't need to rely on supporter packs (AKA donations) anymore. This is the death spiral: GGG can't afford to make PoE worth a damn and retain new players, so the new players leave, and GGG loses money, so they can't afford to make PoE worth a damn, onward and onward to the inevitable end. There is some god damn voodoo going on here keeping this thing alive right now. Look, I'm not a market expert, but god damn, that chart tells me enough, and I've seen bigger fish starved out with higher player counts. That is not enough to sustain any game, and spiking the player count with new hype every three months may be a clever band-aid, but it's not going to last.

Everyone else is passing through, and usually leaving their familiar grievances behind. This game has less than 10,000 loyal players. Of course, the harshness of those curves is amplified by the atrociously low player count, but that's not exactly in favor of the game. People join or return from hiatus, play for awhile, and then the freefall starts as the game bleeds players like crazy. Each of those jumps in player count coincides neatly with major updates, like Ascendency or the current Prophecy. And while every game has it's peaks and valleys, PoE also takes that to the fucking extreme. There has never been a point where people aren't complaining about the performance of the game, or about the lack of meaningful content past level 60, or the soul-destroying grind, or the damage spikes and outright sadistic game design.

Yeah, every game is going to have it's faction of complainers and it's cadre of white knights, but this game's community turns that shit up to 11. Y'know, it's times like this that I stop and have to point out.This doesn't happen with most games.
