if someone wants this game to be more challenging than it is simply run your build on a 1 link, use a worse weapon, dont use a movement skill, dont use rare/unique gear.

That will never work, ever. It's not justified. You could say that for any game, dark souls too easy? Run it with a rusted sword and no armor lol. Point is, literally one guy will like it and 99.99999% wont.

thats because people dont actually want it to be more challenging, if you honestly want it more challenging you will do things to make it more challenging. as an actual point go look up nuzelocke for pokemon games, if fans want a harder game THEY WILL MAKE IT HARDER.

ETC

So these are your global Steam players stats related to POE major achievements.
So you're telling me a game that has 1.4% all maps completion and 6.2% level 90 out of the entire player base is in dire need of continous nerfs and such an agressive attitude towards the 'power creep' that you feel you're seeing? How is this not delusional?
I used to be very much inlove with the game and have supported you guys for giving us something I could play and enjoy, but you're taking this so off the charts it's scary.
Stop it. Please. This is getting ridiculous. Your game is not gonna die if you let people enjoy it. It is A VIDEO GAME, that's the point!
The places you're getting your info from is so wrong it's so mesmerizing for those of us that actually play this for more than 10 hours/ month.

If this has turned into 'it's my philosophy before everything else' and it stopped being about the players, let us know so we can have our leave, no matter how many hearts it breaks.
