I think I "leveled up" to "this game is too complex and tedious to play anymore" camp.

I understand design and monetisation model behind it but I think that GGG over-loaded the core.

This is ARPG game and the most joy, at least for me, is in doing challenging and rewarding content. In this game it's metamorph, upgraded breachstones, juiced T16 maps, delirium/simulacrum, timeless encounters, deep Delve, Sirius or Uber Elder, advanced crafting, making high-end build and usually whatever tops current league mechanic.

All of this is gated behind hundreds of hours of gameplay - it just takes too much effort to get there, knowing it will reset again in 3 months time.

It's probably too late for POE 1 but it would be good to re-think that model for POE 2 and focus on locking down what really "core" is to make sure that time investment required does not grow to the point when it alienates players.

Depending on how much content will be there in POE 2, it would mean being more ruthless and innovative with leagues, having only few being added to the "core".

Also, consider evolving monetisation model itself. Living off stash tabs and league packs is quite outdated, micro transactions are too expensive, promos are just so dead and bland.

It's 2020, whatever noble F2P ideology was there 10 years ago, it needs to adapt to evolving market.

Way too much catering to the streamers and 1% ers. Hopefully POE2 will address some of this
