decline since i started playing in 2012

which decline? you mean the game didn't go into your desired direction? if yes, which direction?

yes yes obviously decline means not my desired direction and nothing else...

No, I understand and it's still not ok to use the tool. It's easy to lump both sides together since you can't determine who is cheating and who is using "qol features" based on their word alone.

Don't use third party hacks and you won't be accused of cheating. Easy right?

The game has come a long long way since beta. Additional updates will take time.

no it's obvious you didn't


to a very large number of people it's simply just making the game playable.


which obviously, and thankfully, chris has finally been made aware of that even if people such as yourself can't grasp that concept.

Really sorry to say that, but this is the truth. I will never use one myself (too much fanboi), but honestly, this is the truth. Not being able to turn camera around, or zoom out is one of these stupid things. "You are going south - you can't see shit. You are going north - snipe enemies from afar!" or "Chimerals from the south - most deadly animals on earth". Graphical stuff... URGH.

What rubbish. You don't sit down for a game of chess and are confident in your grasp of the rules only to decide you should be able to move your rook diagonally when your queen is threatened.

and hell if they were included in the game then it would be fair for everyone. .

That's the point. It's not in the game, it's not fair.

Only fool would think that all this stuff happens only because people want to cheat or have unfair advantage over others. This stuff happens for good reasons, and if GGG doesn't care enough to take care of them, people will. Maphacks, and other real abuses aside.
If you were forced to stand on your head, while playing chess, would you discard a game as a whole, play "by the book" or would you try to make game playable for you?
Graphic hacks are these attempts, as well as other things like loot filters and such. They should have been implemented years ago.
Arguing against them, ONLY because someone "hacked" or "broke the rules" is plain stupid.

I fully support the game, but inability to see its flaws and protecting it from any critique does more damage to it, than even hacks. Beacuse of all this GGG maybe, just maybe, finally realize how bad state of those things is, and how damaging they are to the game, and start working on them.

I'm not saying that these hackers all are "white knights" who want good change for the game - they are doing it for themselves (some share their work, so others can enjoy the game as they do). Some are doing it to bot, maphack and other stuff, which is bad. But graphical hacks, because cannot play the game, because it is optimized as crappy as possible?

PoE Reddit is pretty bad...

Keep telling that yourself. ^^

No, I didn't know this was going on because I have never cheated and I thought M.R Desync was there to prevent such things. Was it ?

The cheating in PoE isn't even close to cheating in D2 so yeah it helps :)

Now this is the culprit ...

I'm disappointed by Chris' reaction to this mess, basically he is focusing everyone's attention to his sudden willingness to bring us QoL features we want but is basically completely disregarding the fact that apparently a significant number of players are using a 100% detectable map hack/cheating tool for quite a while and as it seems, GGG won't be doing anything about that.
