Seems like you play standard and are butthurt :D

Of course I play Standard. Why would I play leagues? I view that as something reserved for beta testers & masochists. If I was forced to start over with a new league every 6 months, I would’ve quit the game a long time ago. I play Standard where there’s decent gear left to play with. For now at least until they decide to remove player power from Standard players too.

Good for you. I'm glad you're having fun. First, if you're going to quote percentages, show data or sources. I can also throw out random numbers to try to make my point look better.

Second, I tried leagues. It's not fun for me and I don't understand how it's fun for other people either. I don't care how fun the new experimental content is, I'm not starting over with a character and especially in an environment that doesn't have legacy gear. If that's fun for you, more power to you.

I'm not testing experimental content for free either. If I wanted to test content for an experimental expansion, there are companies out there that pay you for your time to do that as QA or alpha/beta tester. I go on the game to relax after working, not treat it as a job.

Third, stop mocking Standard players. It's because of your posts that devs don't care about Standard in the first place.

Anyone who has any common sense or basic math knowledge will understand how much of a monumental nerf this is if you compare these new gems with the PoB values.

Nerfs just one league after another.

Removed all the alt gems.

Removed all the useful enchants.

Changed the existing gems in ways that end up overall being less dps.

Don't worry, we added some new gems with slight differences in their mechanics so that will make up for everything you lost.

Oh and the new ascendancies that Standard players don't even get until the devs decide it goes core.

All this will make up for everything you lost. Is no one else seeing what's happening?
