Honestly, I hate what GGG did to the ARPG genre as a whole

Remember what ARPGs were before PoE 2 appeared? Theorycrafting, itemization, abusing mechanics, farm strategies, many different ways to reach the same end goal and so on.

But then PoE 2 happened. And some players decided that it must be a slow, tedious slog where you roll around all the time and have to engage with the enemies one/a small group at a time in a meaningful way while getting crap as a reward because too much player power is bad.

And here come the suggestions - cap damage, nerf everything, slow down the game even more than it already is, make maps the same as Act 1, etc.


This is bad. This is really bad. I don't know where these people come from or if they enjoyed ARPGs before, but if GGG caters to them PoE 2 could become something that no other ARPG currently is. And it is not even clear if that thing would be successful.

And even if GGG doesn't cater to them, they will still be here mucking everything up, complaining, leaving bad reviews.


I imagine GGG's intention was to make a smash hit that would bring not only PoE 1 fans in but also fans of other games. A huge explosion in popularity and tons of money, of course........but they fucked it up. They brought together people who have completely opposite ideas of what an ARPG should be and whatever GGG do - someone will be very very unhappy.
