They don't shoot in the foot, they shit pants.
If they want kill the game they do it perfectly.
They always make the worst possible decisions.

Hard to tell if this is sarcasm.

Raids/forced party content belong in MMOs.

it was not sarcasm...i realy think that the game should have something for players who manage to get to lvl100 (which, btw as things stand now, can practically be only achieved by specific builds). i, on the other hand, don't level after lvl95, as the XPgrind/loss ratio is dumb as hell imo.

and the suggestions i made were NOT content i want to get...
edit: and to be perfectly honest, the party content was more an idea for guild related content (yes, guildwar style...why not let guilds compete over bragging rightd, or some guild specific resources...even guild decor would imo be a nice incentive for guilds...we have pvp, you could argue that it also MMO related)

it was more along the lines of "something for getting there (to lvl 100)", anything that would justify the atrocious grind to get there.
in another thread (on PoE1) i also talked about smt i called "Arena of Worlds" which was basicaly a special atlas variant you would unlock at lvl100 where the maps/bosses were exponentially tougher for builds to challenge themselves...

i simply think that the current xp/lvl sceme is counterproductive, that's all

No reason to make a game "pointless" until level 100, as turning a level 100 into something regular.

So, no. Bad idea.

why would the game be pointless untill lvl 100?!?
you'd still get the same game..just with some extras at reaching level 100, instead of people quitting when they "finish achievements", and then waiting for the next league...
:)

AAaand (i didn't think i'd have to spell it out), the content i suggested WAS NOT MANDATORY, it was something that a player COULD CHOOSE to play, instead of the usual "kill the maven 1o.ooo times on super-ultra-mega-strato-kato-blasto difficoulty without moving"...

...so, Yes, single player/non-guilder content would be equally awesome...
ARENA of WORLDS – a lvl 100, special instance for players. The Lore would be something along the lines of the Maven, being super happy with the atlas (or being steamrolled over enough times...dependint on build), has decided to create a special dimensional copy of the atlas, only for her most favoured “the usual ...champions”.
– EVERY ENEMY’S ASPECT is enhanced X times, depending on “tier”. That
MEANS EVERY ASPECT, INCLUDING SIZE!!:
Normal enemies – Everything x3
Magic enemies – Everything x5
Rare and Unique (Non-Boss) enemies – Everything x7
Map Boss – Everything x10

...there you have it...extra single player content for reaching lvl1oo without touching the main game...

so don't diss something without even thinking about it for a sec...

This is never going to happen due to the bandwagon effect. Once they add something very valuable to that milestone, then everybody and their mom will feel as if they are required to get it.

You already gain a few more passive points for 100, which in some very min-maxed builds can be quite valuable, that is quite enough.

Additional game modes would never be locked behind a grind hopefully, since gating is done by scummy developers who are incapable of generating enough content on time.
