I can't think of a single game that still has archaic mechanics like this.

Plenty still use mechanics like this, for obvious reasons.

when i leveled my vfos zerker last league i leveled it much faster doing dunes with a hh and i literally did lvl 100 through maps.
doing 5ways is just lazy but only because people are doing those i dont see why people like me should be punished even though i die with the vfos build that much from 98-100

i cant reach lvl 100 with this exsang miner trickster build cus it cannot be built as tanky as other builds but thats fine for me and i dont see why i should wasting money for 5 ways

Even those squishy builds can be leveled quite easily through Sanctums. As long as you are able to clear full sanctum you get a good chunk of XP from the bosses

XP is an absolute joke in PoE at the moment

jokes on you the past 2 days i was doing sanctum quite often
its good exp but lycia (not sure if thats her name) sometimes does this whirlwind beam which does dmg even during chargeup and oneshotted me 2 times allready but yeah i managed to go up like 20% exp :D
im finished with challanges gambled a bit and maybe gonna start a new build which can tank a fart or two :D
i dont see why we need more exp punishment than we allready have :D

Seems like some people just like to stroke their ego.

It's crystal clear OP has no clue how complex PoE has become, there's a reason why GGG decided to go with PoE 2 instead of expanding PoE 1, you're looking at the result of more than a decade of band-aids and hacks, it reached a point where there's no turning back, and if there is, it'll be tough as hell.

If you want to reach climax with your defense skill, do everyone a favor and go play PoE 2.

if i m being honest, most of poe gameplay revolves more on gearing rather than actual skill.

i've kinda stopped playing poe and other d-likes and actually play games that require actual skills and are actually fun. a lot of people asking for more/to keep death penalties are living in the past. i myself have changed too. i used to want a single game to play forever. but now i realize that to make games be played forever, a lot of unnecessary friction had to be created to artificially make players play longer. nah. i want to have fun. fighting a soulslike boss is challenging but can be fun. playing poe is challenging but feels like the devs are trolling me. die 6 times? uh oh! you're run out of tries. go do 100 maps before you can attempt this boss again. if i a soulslike. i can fight a hard boss hundreds of times back to back if i wanted. even if i lost, i m hyped to try again. in poe it feels more like the game saying FUCK YOU YOURE WEAK. i dont feel the fun in that. but many "make poe hard" players here love the friction.
