Remove the xp penalty
+1
I will always support removing the exp penalty. If people want a masochist mode that takes away a flat 10% exp, give them a masochist mode, and let normal mode be normal. |

Right now it is probably rly mid season. I lost all drive to do another build. The last feels unfinished. Cant bring myself to do the trade. Cant bring myself to sort maps.
What now? Building. Gems are all a dead end. Skills are all a dead end. Defence, same thing for every char. All chaos res I found on items combined for each slot may be a res cap in total. How am I supposed to survive? That hole thing is something personal between 6 portal defence flicker strikers and devs. Thats also why we have only one portal now. They totally overkilled. That is more like a desitegration than fixing the root problem. Balancing. Scorched earth, is what you call something like this. |

A few will give up and just leave, sure, but a lot of people will stay chasing for that almost untouchable goal. Sadly, that is how it has been working so far in game-as-service in general. Not only on Poe. And that is why I avoid those kind of games. I make exceptions only to Poe (which I was on a 3 year break before EA, and I plan to quit again soon) and to FFXIV when they are about to release a new DLC. Sticking with this industry is not healthy.[/quote] quantity beats quality in terms of profitability . the few thousand that dont give up and get to like lvl 95 before switching to diferent character wont beat the dozens of thousand that would have stayed playing if the xp penalty didnt make them feel like they dont make any progress. theres plenty of competition (other games) that fight for player time |

XP loss in SC when HC exists along with ridiculous XP requirements makes ZERO SENSE.
IF XP death pen was not in game most playera STILL would rarely hit 100 before burnout. |

Dont remove the xp penalty .
instead add a super rare rune that drops from uber-super-duper boss 000.1 chance , that reduces xp penalty by 1%. and ofc to compensate for that generosity make sure the xp penalty starts from level 1 . this is the vision right , this is how you balance everything . 0.3 is gonna crash and burn also . |

" This. It needs to be unobtainable for the avg player or its far too easy! Someone could accidentally be having fun as a result! |
