about the "Athene" guy

I am starting to think that this guy is a serious threat to the other streamer: Kripp.

Imagine when he will master the mechanics of the game, imagine him going for ladder or races. It's gonna need a full 4-Months league to happen though.

had this game been actually skill-based, I'd strongly disagree with you.

Kripparrian is an awesome player. far above the average no-lifer.
he proved being good multiple times, including in Hardcore Elite Torchlight 2 (Synergies Mod).

Athene - from what I've seen - isn't even close to being as good as Kripparrian, or Helman, or some of the other guys.

but Athene can simply have some fans RMT for him (and take the fall), buy super-mega-awesome-BiS gear, then proceed to face-roll everything all the way to top 20 in all ladders.
without really bothering to thoroughly study the game.

Path Of Exile is one of the few games I know, where the less-skilled can compete on equal terms with the skilled.
the other being RMAH Diablo 3.
and yes, that is a fucking insult.

johnKeys, here's the thing. We're talking about a guy who has raised $6.5 million dollars for charity this year alone, plus another $1 in 2012. (Source.) You don't just give $7.5 million dollars to charity if you are a true asshole.

So if you see someone acting like an asshole, but you know from deductive reasoning that he cannot possibly actually be an asshole, the only logical conclusion is... he's acting. Athene is doing what his audience wants. He gives them the antics, they give him the money... and like the good guy he actually fucking is, he gives the shit to charity.

Athene's behavior isn't really his own. It's a reflection of society. It's how people want him to act. And thus, it's not an indictment on him; it's an indictment on us.

You know how the bad guys evade taxes, right? I'm not accusing him of doing this, absolutely not. But people DO USE charities for their dirty doings, it doesn't always mean they are the good guys.

Ya I agree, Bill Gates is literally worse than Hitler because of this. These fucking charity scumbags disgust me.

Never compare Hitler with Bill Gates again. I mean... he accepted Vista into production.
