Why does POE2 try so hard to reduce the fun at high levels?

Don't feel too bad, almost 600 hours here, multiple mid 90s (yep I can't do it past there fuck that) and I've played solo and with rarity bros and groups and in that whole time those 100's or 1000's or maps I have seen 1 x level 20 gem drop haha!

Personal thing obviously because some chumps about to come up here and brag but yeah to me that's quite wild.

GGG continues to balance their games around the no-lifers. Sadly, everyone else doesn't matter.

I'm a homebound disabled person, I can and do nolife POE, and this design vision from GGG staff is a level of toxic i've never seen before.

They are essentially trying to make us eat our veggies, but a full grown adults [Removed by Support] I expect to get what I want. Not what someone else dictates I can have.

Fun is the new MTX. You have to pay to have fun now.

FUCK PROXIMAL TANGIBILITY

you don't need lvl 100, lvl 94 is perfectly fine to considere your leveling over.
The loot part i agree mostly bc HCSSF is imo the most enjoyable way of playing and i would love easier way to get 6L or specific unique.

This is an amazing example of the conditioning that takes place around here. People have a reasonable expectation to be able to reach max level, because that is what is achievable (if you aren't completely without skill) in actual ARPG games.

This is also another good example of how the devs take the fun out of the game. "Let's make max level another arbitrarily time-consuming goal to accomplish!" Such an anti-player mentality.

And to those who will undoubtedly say that "I don't have anything to do after I get max level and get all my gear", helloooo, that's another failing of the game design. There should be stuff to do after that, like other actual ARPGs.

But, only if the devs actually want you to stick around and play, as opposed to "playing" the roller coaster of endless leagues. It's all intentional.
