PoE 2 not that bad, it's just seasons and fatigue.

Many players had high hopes for Path of Exile 2, but for many, those hopes have been shattered.

I want PoE2 to succeed, and I had hoped that GGG had learned from past mistakes. But they remain the same company, clinging to the same rigid "vision." Unfortunately, this unwillingness to adapt may ultimately be their downfall.

Rather than engaging with the community and addressing feedback, they remain silent. This lack of communication leaves players feeling ignored, frustrated and undervalued.

There will likely be temporary player surges when major patches drop, and a wave of non-paying players when the full release arrives. But at this rate, PoE2 risks becoming just another forgettable ARPG in an already crowded genre.

What a dramatic Introduction...
Do not forget how many Players started, compared to the BigBrothers of the Genre. Probably most of those just took a short view on the Models, but do you really care of this ?

If you like the game that is offered to you, why the hell you care about the rest of this earth's opinion ?

If you do not like it, why the hell you are you fredding here ?

Greetings.

Game has a great core and has a very addictive gameplay. But many of the features are intentionally designed to create frustrations and create in some cases a horrible experience.

Many players have left and more than half of the original launch player base never even returned for 0.2.

The biggest issue I see is that they seem to be making it worse and I imagine only a small amount of players will enjoy what they are doing with the game right now. Many will tolerate for a time because the combat is at its core very good and addictive but if they don't start adding quality of life, this terrible trade site as an example then the numbers will greatly reduce. They seem to not be listening to the majority.

Small players base right now compared to launch and it seems even half of this small player base are unhappy. I dont see this game being very successful on full release.
