Streamer priority confirmed. PoE is free to play, so play it for free, but Boycott GGG.

horrific. semms like a blacksmith ripping apart and hammering into a tamplate.

How so? I'd think that Tencent isn't too happy about PoE losing players.

Who knows what this is, but it's just beyond odd. I can't comprehend how a company can spend over a decade building a game and playerbase, just to turn them around and no-lube them like this, throwing a decade of work in the drain.

It depends upon what their goals (short term and long term) are.

They could be any or all of these with different priority levels:
-making money
-keeping players involved until POE 2
-retention
-keeping old players
-getting new players
-preparing current players for how POE 2 will "feel" while playing
-testing items to be included, or not, in POE 2
-making current game better

POE 2 will bring back many old players when it launches even if it only to see what they have done. I think we are in a kind of holding pattern until that happens.

[...]How many of those lost were actual supporters we'll never know, but I'll choose to believe the game's mostly just shed some freeloader and tourist fat by increasing the difficulty incline from the get-go. Hard not to see that as a healthy move, IF shedding fat is the goal and not simply bearing the appearance of an unstoppable juggernaut.[...]

Well i'm surely not a freeloader, so thats at least one "big" spender not paying nor playing this league.
I'm not skipping because of slower gameplay, but because the league feels boring and the patch makes it less fun to play.
And of course a multitude of contradicting game design choices.

At least i'm not a naysayer like so many others. I'm happy to provide my personal feedback (not that i EXPECT anyone from GGG to care about my opinion) and see what future leagues may bring to the table.

Happy to play (and support) a league that has an exciting mechanic and feels good to play :)

Does this issue resurface in the current patch or not?

i tho its fixed... no? no more privilege but dunno about streamer rng yet its removed or still not?

69 pages! Seriously?

Who gives a flying fuck about streamers?

Do you like playing the game? Do you have anything better to do? It's simple yes or no answers. Streamers don't have a damn thing to do with it.

It's just a god damned game. If you don't like it go play something else. People seriously need to get a fucking life.

If I'm not mistaken, I detect a certain negativity in your posting. Where does that come from? Let's talk about it freely.

Apparently people in 69 pages care and you seem to care enough to post a meaningless rant post that adds zero value to any discussion thats going on here.

Always funny when people dont see the irony in their own posts.
