Do a Sentinel+Crucible+Scourge+TOTA+ "legacy league" for 3 months

seriously. Being completely negligent about POE1, breaking a bunch of promises and public statements about how POE2 wont kill POE1 etc...

You can undo all that negative publicity and obvious bullshit-ery in an instant by checking a few league flags.

They will never do that, because the POE 1 players that are still playing POE 2 while waiting for the league would instantly jump to POE 1.

And of course they don't want their new baby to lose the spotlight. That's how fragile POE 2 is right now.

Hell even new players to the game would see POE 1 gameplay (expecially the movement speed and abilities part) and want to play it over the slow gameplay.

The ultra niche cookie clicker fans are all here grumbling resentfully, not playing POE2 and lots of them say it sucks. Which means they are not contributing player count to POE2 for many weeks now. But yet somehow in weeks ~5-6 with all the POE1 zoomers gone, POE2 still had dramatically more people playing it than even day 1 of most POE1 leagues.

Like the other day POE2 was still doing better than a couple of DAY ONE POE1 leagues like Blight. I want them to do a POE1 legacy league because it'll take pressure off of POE2 to be more like the space ship shooter with fantasy loot dumpster simulator that POE1 became. But honestly Maybe GGG's doing the smart thing.

It might be that GGG realizes that 1button zoom lovers are small potatoes actually.

What? And spare a dev for 10 minutes? Absolutely unthinkable. GGG would rather spit on a baby.

If you genuinely believed their reasoning in the "message to PoE 1 players" video, you're kidding yourself. They are straight up lying.

I did call it lies and obvious bullshit-ery but I take it you're just venting in general and not directing this at my posts.

The thing is Johnathan publicly stated that "one guy made the last several POE1 leagues" and then a few months ago clarified that "okay it was probably more like 7 people rotating on and off POE1 leagues" (paraphrasing)

So given that I clearly don't believe his most recent video, but more than that I don't get how he reconciles 2 or 3 months ago statement about "more like 7" with the most recent statement about needing all hands on POE2.

Its just bullshit. I love that GGG is more transparent than just about every other game studio, but sometimes they hoist themselves on their own previous petards (sorry mixed metaphor)
