Your constant use of the word concurrent does not belong in this topic, pick up a dictionary bud.
First off, I'm not your bud and I never will be.
Secondly, any steam graph or chart you see is extracting data from http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
This website lists concurrent players. Not total players playing each day, not players who still play but how many players are currently in game and how many peak players were in game concurrently.
The idea that a drop in concurrent players equates to players quitting is pure idiocy. This isn't an MMORPG, this isn't ESPORTS, this game doesn't depend on you playing non stop every day in any way.
Less players online = less players playing. I have no idea why on earth you think otherwise, it's fine though. I will gladly listen to your cute arguments :)

So in other words: You've got nothing. Comparing me to a child with a toy and utterly failing to back up your assertion of less concurrency equating to players quitting does not an argument make. Sorry, you lose.
Really? Lower amount of players mean they quit, is that so hard for you to understand :P? The fact is, there is more things in the game driving people away than there is to attract people. It will be the ultimate downfall.
I play less each day. Does that mean I quit, too? Hell no. I've been playing for over two years and have simply scaled back my play time until the new league starts.
There are far more actually good reasons why concurrency is less that have absolutely nothing to do with players quitting and judging by how many players are participating in the daily races and how many top players I still see online every day on the ladder, I'd say players are clearly not quitting.
Oh and your grammar is atrocious, I think the guy was right about you with the word concurrent, you found a new toy and can't put it down hehe. So cute :) Anyway you're an example of the games poor effort to keep people playing, why would you quit the league half way through to wait for the new league if this game is so much fun? Go home.

A reduction in playtime can reduce the peak # of concurrent players on a given day. This would only occur if login times were sufficiently spread apart.
(Don't argue integral calculus with trolls :))

Yep. All that means is less players are playing concurrently. Doesn't show they quit.

Stop harassing me, thanks. This is against the forum rules, Peenk.

I don't play any games non stop. GGG's continued development for me is an example of a player who will continue playing their game, not quitting, as the topic failed to demonstrate.

I played the other day so I haven't quit. Why do you assume so much? There's other leagues besides the four month and there's races.

Why do you assume the people who didn't log on yesterday will log on today? People are quitting, fact :) You can troll argue all you want, it won't change a thing bud. PoE is getting worse by each patch.
Oh and for the record, I wasn't harassing you I was pointing out your poor grammatical errors.

Even if this were the case, you still haven't proven players to be quitting in any way.

This game was never meant to be a mainstream game.. It was meant to appeal to a "hardcore" D2-like audience.. Many of which probably don't even use steam and continue to support the game. If on top of the steam players and lets say 80% of the player base from closed/open beta still come back for the new leagues, then POE is doing alright..
Where did you get 80% from? All evidence points to 50%, and decreasing each month.
The problem for you fanboys (instead of "fans" such as myself) is you lie to yourselves first, and then to us.
I'm not sure how "hardcore" D2 is suposed to be nowadays, you do realize it's the most popular ARPG of all time, with literally millions of satisfied players? On one hand PoE is supposed to be "oh-so-hurdcore", and then on the other hand it's supposed to appeal to a game which casuals enjoyed just as much as pros.
I'm also expected to believe that all "hardcore" gaming is now centralized around just playing for a few hours and the trading your way to the top? Sorry, but trade-to-win is the antithesis of "hardcore". You guys are so proud of yourselves for buying your way to endgame, what kind of skill goes into that? Zero. That's why a Self Found League scares you guys so much. You all know you couldn't hack it.
Just an example... I literally pulled the number out of my ass..
yeah, in that case I would've gone for 80 too instead of, like, 44.

Player base decreasing means players are quitting. I will keep repeating if you need me to mate, no problem :) Like I said before, fanboys use steam as a player chart on release to show how popular the game was getting, but now the tables have turned it means nothing. [Removed by Admin]

You have absolutely zero proof of this. Regurgitating the same failed logic isn't proof, either.

We know this. Unfortunately, the mods do not.

I said the same thing when fanboys did it. In fact, I suspected players would only use Steam for achievements. I'm surprised as many still use Steam, given it's not required like the other games which have a large concurrent population.

Pathetic fanboy attitude, it's okay though as denial from you guys does give me a chuckle every now and then. Thanks so much :)
I'm the fanboy but you're the one spending their free time on a PoE forum. Now that's cute. I'll remember that.

People using the steam chart on release as a sign of popularity also gave me pause. It's pretty meaningless -- steam users will see "FREE TO PLAY" and install it. Then they'll go back to TF2, which has more hats than PoE. Whoopie.
