You don't speak for everyone clearly. On Steam alone they've had at least double the most concurrent poe1 players ever every day since release. If you want to play poe1 go play poe1...it's still there for a reason.
Eh, to be fair it's the long awaited release of a game that's been in development for 6 years. Hell it was on Steam's main store page as an advertisement. Even people who I've never seen play POE 1 before are streaming POE 2.
To top it off the campaign is so long that the average player is probably still in the campaign. I personally think a lot of the retention we are seeing is people committing to at least beat the game once, similar to someone beating a Dark Souls game once and then never returning.
People who love POE 2 keep throwing out peak player count and retention numbers, but I'll be curious if they or the numbers they reference will still be here in 1-2 years.

Holy shit I hate these sTeAm nUmbahs1! guys. the average casual player will be just engaging with campaign and making new characters for a good while yet ALSO just look at the trading situation and RMT spams in chat. yeah, SWARMS of bot and RMT ads accounts as well. the actual HUMANS talking are the ones giving feedback, fuck steam charts or player counts. they're half bots

No the only people who are here complaining about the game are the ones who have been filtered. The rest are in-game enjoying it.

i guess i am close to uninstall because of trials. It feels like torture instead of game. There is no fun in it. I can play moba games in high elo without stress but trials makes me upset in this game. I never ever felt like this in a game. There is no fun it and i have to complete it.
I don't understand why they turned something so necessary into such torture.
takes rlly long time, rng inside of rng inside of rng, 1 life, honor system, relic system. There is no skill. Just use broken builds or you will get rekt if you are not way too lucky with rng.

Yes, no skill, that's why some of us have zero issues doing it. Even on warrior, sanctum is quite easy if you know what you are doing... also known as, having skill.

What is the purpose of taking everything that made PoE great and trying to simplify it?
Target demographic changed from PC players to Console players. I guess they buy more MTX? Guess we QQ'ed too much and didn't buy enough.

so you got lucky with rng and you are bragging about it and not just that, you think it is skill. good luck with this logic. In a few weeks we will know the percentage of ascended players. Let's see if there will be a balance patch once their holidays are over.
"i just flip the coin 3 times and got 2. I am so skilled."

Sanctum is not about difficulty but about boredom. When half of the rooms are find the exit you'll get tired pretty damn fast.

I have also stopped farming already. "character themes personally attractive" and "viable builds" hardly intersect at all. Ice spells are either very weak (frost nova, frostbolt, eye of winter) or very slow (frost bomb, comet, frost wall).
Endgame is once again "everything is on top of you in 1 sec", so "very slow" isn't cutting it after campaign. Freezelock helped, it got nerfed. Sorc trigger gems helped, it got nerfed. Minions not nerfed, can fall asleep while they faceroll everything :shrug:. GGG balance passes are arbitrary as usual. You know that if you sweat days seeking for stellar build, it will get nerfed. You're allowed to suffer and eat exp penalty from exploding corpses, that's fine.
Weapon-based classes need mirror-tier weapon first, and leveling them strongly depends on luck with getting leveling weapon, or you're going to suffer, that's fine.
The devs dont play their own game and will never release footage of them doing stuff without a meta build.
