Been this way for a long time. I got banned for being mass-reported for saying PoE1 was good despite a lot of changes Chris tried to make, because community pushback made them back down. Apparently, that is ban worthy to them.

That's stupid and laughable. Chris seemed more in favor of slowing the game down, look at Ruthless mode for example. But that's not what the community wanted and would've lost GGG money. Therefore ruthless is a separate mode.

And it appears that they learned nothing from it.

POE Ninja shows 142406 characters for (sc, hc, ssf) this league, while ruthless (all modes) have only 4745 characters. That is 3% of characters in the current league. This is how popular 'The Vision' is.

I often wonder why I like to play POE1. To test builds against Uber Bosses? Test my skills? Not even close.

I just want to blast maps and cook up weird farming strategies rather than feel proud for clearing T1 map. If I want that, I'd play SSF HC.

Uhh, this isnt PoE specific. Or negative only.

On some forums if you post positive things, you get banned. Others, negative.

Reddit is the worst hivemind / groupthink / ban anyone who thinks differently than you on the internet.

At the same time, you could defend it by talking about how this is normal human behavior, just put into strict rules by reddit mods + voting system. But.. nah reddit is just awful. Always has been.

This ☝

Good way to solve this problem is stop using reddit altogether. If you not happy with how it managed just dont use it. More i hear about reddit more i learn how much power tripping moderation it have so why be their toys?

I experienced the same.

This Subreddit represents this game in the worst way.

shame they can't put that level of attention into controlling the sheer number of low-effort posts about lucky drops.

I guess it manipulates the look of the game in the sense of "oh look there is good loot from killing mobs".

They won't. They are not affiliated. Chris may have created it many years ago, but passed on the torch ages ago.

Reddit has its own terms of service and code of conduct, and each subreddit has its own posting rules, just like the PoE forums. Funny how posts that break those rules sometimes disappear or even earn a temporary ban. Who could have predicted such a thing?

I mean, the rules can be idiotic to the point of stiffling conversation by enforcing toxic positivity.

If these two contradictory statements are not allowed, then you have a bad set of rules.

Ex 1 - Chris is the goat, and everything in PoE is perfect. He never made a bad decision.

Ex 2 in response to Ex 1 - The game is good despite a lot of changes Chris tried to make because the community pushed back, and they had to roll them back.

If example 2 is ban worthy, the rule is dumb, no way around it.

Well, apparently players enjoy power trip leagues and loot raining from the sky. Affliction league was one of the strongest in terms of retention. I didn't like it, this whole abyss spire + projectile mod on map thing was a bug and should have been hotfixed.

3.27 is "poverty" league in the eyes of many, yet players managed to develop extremely powerful builds in unprecedented short time scales. Necropolis league could make you 6XT1 items pretty consistently (basically mirror tier except for synthesis implicits which are usually the bulk of mirror-tier crafting cost), but it had significant friction. It was annoying as hell. Corpses didn't stack, took lots of space, you needed 88 of them for a single craft, trading for them was exceptionally annoying.

This time around crafts aren't AS powerful, but it's basically 1 click with easy to understand specialization tree. You can specify exactly what you want and you'll get that most of the time.
