Soft reset of top tier items: PoE is losing one of its key unique features!

Dont you think acuity overruled a ton of crafted gloves as BiS by a large margin?

Can anyone actually link any of these quotes?

Since the start of the game and with the additions of new legendaries this has already been happening. Where are your old crafted gloves that was mirrorworthy? In most cases they became worthless after acuities were added for example.

We're talking about rares, normal tiers on normal, rare gear. Acuity is far from BiS for non-crit builds, as they are pretty build dependent. But OK, I'll try to find some quotes for you. Just need to get my shovel and start digging.

Or when legacy Shavs/Kaoms was added to the game, it overruled a bunch of crafted chests? CoE for a bunch of helmets. Windripper for almost all bow users etc.

This has been an ongoing process even without the addition of new craftable mods. Without it, the game would stagnate and die.

And yes, GGG did explicitly write down that they did not want to devalue the effort of their players by adding new item/affix tiers in the forseeable future. They did not rule it out forever. I would not even mind it if there were any good reasons to do this. I see none. Other than to specifically devaluate the items that are currently in the game. And that is poor game design. Not worthy of GGG.

I disagree wholeheartedly. It expands the scope and gives everyone new stuff to work towards. If the top mirrored items were BiS forever that would be bad design for an online only multiplayer trade centric arpg. I remember people crying when they released the 1.10 runewords and relegated all the previous BiS to junk. Same thing.

I for one love this change and I hope for a tiny bit of power creep in every major expansion.

PoE has always had an undercurrent of MTG. When new sets come out some of the previous broken stuff gets ruled out ( Legacy items ), the Meta changes (New affixes and Uniques) and the slate essentially gets wiped clean ( New Leagues ).

I like this design but I can understand its not for everyone. I'd much rather have constant change than stagnation and a permanent status quo.

Only people im seeing upset are the 1%. They're angry because they no longer hold the monopoly on the economy. Not a single tear shed for them from me.

I guess we have fundamentally differing opinions. Standard is where everything gets dumped, I have no interest in playing there other than between leagues.

This is ag reat change for the state of the game. Your arguments are that it discourages the top STANDARD players. I'm not trying to bash people's playstyles, although it's clear that for GGG the leagues are the meat of the game. Standard is there to appease the more causal players. I think the state of the game overall supersedes keeping standard players with mirrored items happy.
