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

It's pretty much unchanged so either it was always a joke or you're a salty zoomer that can't play anything other than CoC cyclone

Couldn't have said it better myself. Legit, anyone that is so salty about 3.15 that they choose to quit the game because of it, obviously doesn't have the ability to play the game in the first place.

Jokes about salt again :/ please do not

It's not 3.15 per se, but it didn't help. FYI I have played since 2013, have multiple PC accounts and have dropped a ton of money on this game. I have multiple lvl 100's and the only thing I haven't done in this game that I really wanted to was drop a mirror. So choke on your salt lol. I'm gud. When someone who has put the hours into this game that I have can see that it is no longer fun, that's not salt. That's the meat pal. :)

yeah I've got 5k hours and I've been around since 2013 as well.

Something was taken from my enjoyment of this game, and it happened when Empyr spit in everyone's faces while being given special preferential treatment by GGG last league.

It had nothing to do with the game, and GGG financed it. There's something illusive and shitty about that experience that makes this game feel like a perpetually-toothy blowjob with no finish.

Fuck. That's a great analogy and I'm glad someone else made it because that's precisely the sort of acute vulgarity I am no longer allowed to use here because I'm me.

Oh well. They can't take my racing car and food service analogies from me at least.

Heh.

I definitely don't think the game is a joke. It has never been and never will be. It's just not funny enough to be a joke. PoE will always take itself seriously enough that if you are exposed to it you either attune to that mode or you find something else to laugh at.

Maybe it'd be better as a joke though. I'd rather laugh at or with something than just sigh or roll my eyes.

Nah. Wraeclast is a dark, unforgiving continent with an almost refreshing lack of pop humour and references. This makes the one quest with a pop reference name all the more memorable. I don't miss much from PoE but I definitely wish other online games, especially MMOs, would stay in character more and take fewer lazy detours into cheap wordplay on song titles and quotes from tv shows and games.

PoE would have to stop being everything that defines it to come even close to being a joke. I guess that's a joke in itself.

Have a nice weekend, Exiles. And if you see me in Eorzea, feel free not to /blowkiss at me.

There's an even a better reason to boycott.

It is just a reason to not play the game if you don't enjoy it anymore not to boycott.

That's always teh same: not having fun playing? Just don't play. Simple.

Nah. It's too easy to just not play the game because it's become too difficult for these people. They need to feel like they're just as important in the influence of the game as the streamers, so they take to Reddit and they take to the forums to voice their complaints and their need to boycott, as well as even going as far as making a thread saying their goodbye to PoE. Like seriously, are you so self aware that you need a damn thread to say you are quitting the game? It's just sad at that point. I can understand somewhat you wanna complain about the changes and talk about how it makes the game not as easy, (I'd argue on the whole fun thing because I like many others still find it fun), but to claim it's not as easy, well yes, of course it's not because there's something called powercreep and GGG are trying to slow it down and bring it in line before PoE 2.

The issue here comes along with making a damn thread saying you're leaving the game, or boycotting the company that makes the game. That is just borderline sad and pathetic. You don't like the game after the nerf, give your two cents, and leave if you wanna leave, don't leave if you don't wanna leave. That's all there is to it. The fact that there needs to be a thread 30+ pages long of people saying goodbye, or a 72 page thread about people wanting to boycott the company, has me so shocked at how spoiled the community was up until this point. That's all there is to it. The PoE community for the most part was so spoiled with such an easy game, that the moment their toys are taken away, they decide to cry.
