...the slot machine mindless blasting playstyle came from other genres to try it in the first place. So, what do we do now?
Stop trying to turn everything into what you want, sure souls-like was used in marketing, but thats marketing. Sorry to all those got duped into thinking they could turn this into something that wasn't poe, you got duped.
imagine reversing that. 'sorry you can play poe1 if you want zoom zoom, poe2 was just a branding get over it'
This was path of exile before the tourists turned up

Frankly, the likely reality is GGG has gone too far at this point to go back to this design goal.
It feels like that goal was stated, skill combos were put in place to support it, and then going forward GGG did not ensure the mob behavior matched. They have a design team filled with POE1 vets and did not manage the transition.
There's no way I'm going to do three- of four-keys in a game where, constantly, mobs appear and in 0.25 of a second have warped to my location and are bashing away.
When I read a build guide, if it's not one- or two-buttons, I move on.
The dream is dead, friend.

I was around in beta, i played launch a bit. Sure you can say that was "poe" but it wasn't the ultimate vision of ggg, there was a lot of things wrong at the time. You could say that what PoE1 now is, is the vision come to fruition.
If you want a better argument for "poe" which is actually more souls-like, chris's idea which is ruthless is still around if you want the raw poe experience.
E: It's the kind of argument you get when you put across disingenuous illogical replies.

agree, even if this was not intentionally deceptive they will have 0 incentive to make this game better if so many people are fine with the current poe1 slop, hell some are even asking for it
"mob behavior" is not even here. d2 had better monster AI which altered with difficulty. last night i had a map filled with vultures and all they did was jump- that's all they did

Players of path of exile where told explicitly that purchases of supporter packs would go towards the development of PoE2.
