Death Penalty (I am done)

Total valid points, except the way people die is from POOR programming and bugs - not from a player making a mistake.

" Your mistake is thinking that they want you playing non-stop. In reality they want you to quit the game for a while because that's how they maximize their revenue and keep players coming back to the game. They want you to play a couple hundred hours per league and leave the game after 1-2 months, maybe even skip the next one or two next leagues. This way you have enough time to: 1) Rest from this awful game 2) Forget what made you quit in the first place 3) Forget how many supporter packs you've bought the past couple years So when they release the new league, instead of your mindset being: "I'm tired of grinding in this low-effort gambling fiesta, I'm uninstalling" it actually is: "Hey! New league! I'd love to play some more PoE again, let's buy these supporter packs with cool skins too! Let me boot the game up to download the patches I missed. Oh there are new items that are very useful, let me also buy their stash tabs to make my gaming experience smoother" Last part is a true story about Essences, Scarabs, Breach splinters and some other things that were not implemented in PoE 2 (yet). They're the game developers, they can literally create a need/issue out of thin air and sell you a product to solve it. By the way, because so many players quit the game so quickly, they can also cut a lot of server costs. The last thing they want is spending money on servers full of people having fun but not spending money in their game. Last edited by _rt_#4636 on Feb 17, 2025, 11:36:39 AM

Good points and makes sense, I guess goal accomplished - they made me quit early!
All right, I have said my peace...best of luck to those hanging in there! |

" I'm pretty sure xp loss left such a bad taste that barely anyone will forget it. " Please enlighten us: 1. How exactly would a casual hit 100 in a reasonable time frame? 2. What makes you think you know what people want to do? Last edited by DeadlyNerd1337#2668 on Feb 17, 2025, 11:38:03 AM

" 1. They wouldn't. If the penalty were to be removed, the next demand would be to make leveling faster. 2. Literally every game with a slight amount of challenge is plagued by these demands. |
