I think it was gauntlets that did it. They've ruined poe 1 and poe 2 by just thinking we need to worry about bosses and stronger than uber boss rares / rogue exiles.

Everything has to be based around bosses now, in normal poe all the good gear comes from... uber bosses that 5% of people can do. in these events, what do we get? boss invasions and now gauntlet is ruined by having bosses be weird instead of just having fun like we did in 3.12 / 3.13 times.

Seriously. I'm going to quit poe and finish what I've learned of game design and coding and make a game with ZERO bosses and hopefully put ggg out of business. like. bosses were already perfect before they introduced maven and eater / exarch. people would be so proud to do a deathless sirus or just complete uber elder... and we could get their drops without waiting for top .0001% to get them and do ssf runs and actually build your build. but no. we have to balance the game around ben so we can " Live vicariously through our favorite streamers"

this game could have 1 mill players on league launches if they didn't destroy the game for 4 years straight with awful patches and then keep making the game (aspirational content: the game )

I think powercreep is the main problem with balancing instability. The items were getting quite ridiculous since Synthesis, so GGG for some reason decided to add and balance the game with that unreasonable for most players ceiling in mind. You remember the Betrayal league days? When there was just good craftable and boss loot without any of that uber uber bs and difficulty was good with a lot of build variety. If they didn't introduce ridiculous items and bosses alongside them, balancing the skill gems would have been way easier to do as well. Back then you could also play the league comfortably for the whole duration of 3 months and not get tired of it or without feeling worried that if you don't do the meta thing you will be missing out on mageblood or original sin for the next couple of weeks potentially.
