An update made the player a clown

You lack the ability to handle data properly and fail to detect script usage, yet you resort to constantly tweaking game content, torturing players in the process. This season has turned out this way, and it's time for you to reflect!

While I agree with you on this statement, I feel like it dosen't reflect at all your original post.

These absurd changes made by the official are not treating players like clowns? I don't think I'm off-topic here

did you take a mortgage with your POE2 stash as collateral or something? why are you so concerned about pixel value of pixel stuff?

Is this what a player who truly loves and cares about this game should say? Not giving feedback, not caring, is it a vegetative state? ha ha

Keep it up! I look forward to the day when "Mirror" becomes as common as anything else! Unfortunately, we will no longer support this game! This season, the opening has frustrated players, plagued with bugs, and ultimately devalued items to the point of having no game value! You are not targeting studios; you are harming the players who truly love this game!

Good the rest of us will support it instead. I'd rather have stuff worth nothing than RMT levels of value in a game.

That's not the point. The point is to have something that's so rare and exclusively to you with a certain worth that you can also sell if you want to play something else.

There is no point in grinding the game, if you can get everything very cheap. You'll be done with the game quickly unless you like the player interactions and the "build diversity" the game currently has.

Dopamine drops off, tings don't feel special anymore. What's the point of playing if you can clear everything? Grinding good gear certainly isn't, because it's lost its value

That's right, games require valuable items, and I don't support RMT. Whether players will accept RMT is a personal behavior, but games must have items that need to be pursued. Each game has unique and rare items to become players' goals.
This season, the official team has made multiple revisions, but none of them have been able to reach the key points. There is no "diversity" in the characters, and there is no "diverse BD construction" at all. From the difficulty of the plot at the beginning of the season to the random curse in the final gameplay, the value of items has been reduced time and time again, all of which have tormented players without exception.
Lastly, it should be noted that this is a multiplayer online game, not a single player game

-100. Devaluation of items is the way. Keep going GGG. Screw the economy simulator and add more fun content.

Final summary:

1. Increasing the drop rate of items does not mean losing their value, and the so-called value is not necessarily measured by RMT. It will only talk about RMT and suggest playing Lone Wolf mode. Why argue here?

2. Diversity, so many revisions without changing the profession values, all are just "spears"?

3. To target the script studio, do a good job of data detection. Don't give the game strange and bizarre things, brush random curses, and think that the number of player deaths is not enough?

4. Optimizing operations, UI, and performance is the most fundamental aspect of gaming.

This is a multiplayer online game, not a single player game. If you don't repent, the number of players online will ultimately be the best answer.

Exactly, I can use myself for an example. I started as a Ritualist, because it sounded cool to have multiple slots of rings. Went for LS/Rake which was also cool, but my main goal was a Cast on Dodge Spark Autobomber (because its FUN).

Made a Bloodmage AND a Chronomancer to see which works best using Sands of Silk Shrouded Vest. Stayed on Bloodmage because the Damage is far superior due to bad crit balancing.

Then I dropped THE LAST FLAME on the first day of the new patch. Immediately thought nice, now I can get myself a Temporalis for cheaper, because the relic was around 1000 Divine at that point. Looked it up and sold it for 270 Div afterwards which wasn't enough.

Then I noticed Choir of the Storm is dead and doesn't work with anything anymore. It's just an extra skill to use. So I thought "Hmm, why not get some nice items for my build to push even further. Tabula Rasa is at 70 Div and is a cool unique. Let's get one"

Looked it up and it was 2 DIV, Kalandras Touch Ring 20 DIV (that this LEGENDARY Ring even dropped this hardcore in price is shameful)
Rite of Passage Golden Charm around 100 DIV
Now I've got some nice items and got an identity crisis if I even want to continue playing, because the main goal I had is gone. I still like my character, but I'm forced to play builds I don't want to play. (I can clear the entire game solo with my current build btw)

Why take away the fun?!
