My thoughts and feedback on the current league spacing

I think as POE players, we need to realize that 6 leagues a year is just not good if you want high quality leagues from GGG. 6 leagues a year mean that you don't get time to play other games as a player, you will get burnt out and get annoyed by things that normally wouldn't, and GGG will just push out undercooked leagues.

In my opinion as someone who has a combined 10000hrs in both 1 and 2, we should just have 4 leagues a year, spaced out as follows:

POE 1 League in January
POE 2 League in April
POE 1 League in July
POE 2 League in October

This way there is 2 months between releases of both games and the Devs have 6 months to work on next league of each game.

Just my thoughts. What do you think?

I think the idea is that players shouldn't feel compulsively driven to play literally every single PoE1 and PoE2 league.

There's nothing wrong with taking a break to play other games.

Or... GGG has to hire more people to work on the game, that's it, it's their problem not ours.

These past year or so they worked on Currency Exchange and Async trade, between many other QoL features that were introduced and went core, this took a considerable amount of time and effort.

So, wait for next league to see if things went well, then feel free to assess the situation and see if the 4months period is good enough to come up with interesting stuff.

New breach is pure trash, but they didn't work just on league content, we'll see next time.

Remember that, at the end of the day, GGG is a company, and PoE is a product.

This past year or so, GGG completed those additions. We have no way to know how long they were in the pipeline. ='[.]'=

Don't have to, go watch Ziggy's Q&A, Jonathan clearly mentions GGG struggled to meet timelines.

Regardless, it's not our problem to solve, it's theirs.

Yeah sure but it's a bit obscene the obvious maintenance mode and resources that poe1 is in currently when you look at the other game. These dev's can't be less obvious or something? painful obnoxious that people that want to play poe1 have to deal with these type of decisions.

"Oh you want to play poe1? too bad the dev's barely give anything interesting this league on top of doubling down and nerfing loot and farms across the board.."

And don't even tell me "there's no competition" they brought this upon themselves the moment they decided 4.0 was going to be "another game" inestad
