Poe2 is not fun...

Your are supposed to trade. It fixes the difficulty problem. They cant really make the game easier because then it becomes too trivial for people to trade.

Then they need to put the trading in the game and not leave it as an external thing. The current trading systems suck so hard that I'd rather just deal with the loot drops.

POE2 is the first arpg were I actually like the boss fights, especially how you have to learn how and when to avoid certain attacks.
I would leave most stuff as it is, except for the honor system and loot disappearing when you die. Both feel a bit too harsh.

People dont want the game to be made easier, but yet they are trading for gear that makes the game a lot easier?

Yes. Just like they are assigning skill points and using skill gems.

Using the tools at your disposal to overcome the challenge of the game is kind of the point.

All the flexing from players saying how they love how much harder it is, is just a farce.

Yes pretty much. In the first days it was the upper percentile of the RNG curve telling the lower percentile to stop complaining. Trade has evened it out now though.

i would agree with 1. in my first few days of playing, but later i understood that in this game we won't just breeze through acts effortlessly in crappy gear like in old PoE. it's just made like that and it's important to understand that in PoE2 sometimes you will have to repeat the same zones to gear up, get those resistances, better weapons, etc.. on my first character the game felt very souls-like because i tried to complete acts as soon as possible in bad gear, which resulted in boss fights where i could get one shot if i didn't time dodges correctly

I find it fun.

Yep! Its just another whining thread

Agreed, wth are these boss fights? Some huge AOE that slams the entire area and comes out of no where =/

It's not fun at all. I have spent 200+ hours playing now and hit 91 ranger and honestly I just did it to get my 30$ worth. Uninstalled now. Not doing 4th trial. Game is 24/7 butt clench trash.

99% of people complimenting the difficulty are:

a. not in endgame
b. rolled great gear
c. playing ranged
d. have a ridiculous amount of time to play

Some combination of those.

Once the initial hype dies down and all those people leave, then we will either get QoL changes, or the game will die.
