Why dedicate my time if I can lose all my XP with a death penalty?

Getting to 100 in a Path of Exile game, whether POE1 or POE2, means and should mean:
- Constantly improving your gameplay
- Continued investing in your gear until it gets super powerful
- Continued investing in your gems to get the max power out of them
- Figuring out skill and passive tree combinations to maximize damage output and defenses such that you clear maps without worry of death
- Figuring out boss mechanics such that you kill them before they kill you

The game is working as intended.

If you want a different game where you can hit max level without having to do any of the above, go play that different game.

Thank you too because ever since ssf i have never played trade so i really dont care about that shit. Does not effect me in any way and i like how the game is in ssf. This is about death penalty and you bringing up bots. The statement "dont argue with and idiot because they will beat you with experience" holds true too you.

It might surprise you to find out this thread is about POE 2... not just about the broken EXP penalties that actually create negative progression for players.

So the "Race To 100" is the reasoning given in interviews from what I've seen.

POE2 is primed to be the biggest and best ARPG ever made, and grabbing mainstream audience / the masses.

Simple solution to this would be to add a checkbox to the Softcore/Hardcore/SSF selection on character creation:

Race To 100 box ticked: Exp Loss + eligible on the board for Race To 100
Race To 100 box unticked: No Exp Loss

That way the racers get their race with the intended consequences and drama.
Casuals don't lose motivation to play when the exp loss creates that 2 steps forward 4 steps back feeling.

I'm at 12-13 days /played 93 Monk, and I've essentially lost all motivation and addiction (to the betterment of my life, sure).

The amount of b2b deaths from bullshit like ground aoe I can't avoid, on death effects faster than 1 frame, off screening, server lag slideslowing when opening a breach, ritual tornado in a hallway and the other 10-20 bullshit things going on and reported in this post and others...
Getting 1-shot with 5-6K HP pool (life/ES/Mana with full resists inc. 85% chaos).
It's just too much for negativity and frustration for not enough reward now.

I think this is a pretty good solution. PoE1 tryhards wont whine that "the game got easier" (btw it wouldnt, thats not how difficulty works you idiots) and most of the players wont have to deal with tedious game design. Those obsessed with getting highest rankings and other BS can keep their BS. If i wanted leaderboards I would play CoD or some shit. More skill involved than "not getting killed". I would bet anyone whining git gud, are utterly shit in competitive games

Do you also want checkboxes like :
✔️ Infinite portal for maps
✔️ Enemy damage reduced by 90%
✔️ Always drop gear for your class
✔️ Campaign skip + ascendency points given

That wouldn't make the game easier, right ?

And since they want more than 200 bosses for the full game, that's a whole lot of dying to do. One attempt per boss means you'll never learn any of them.

How so? Majority of those bosses are introduced during the campaign where you get Checkpoints.

Infinite portals? Checkpoints for bosses. A new boss should require multiple deaths to overcome: first few to learn the mechanics, then a handful more to figure out how to win, then finally executing everything correctly.
