Why do people hate on this game the way they do after having played it so long lol...


i think because back when we played it, the game was actually good :unsure:

and its quite easy to turn love into hate :cry: i remember from my student days, we had some shop near the university that was selling cakes, my favorite was called "ice cube" :blush: it was a cheap but rather large cake, about 12 x 12 cm, it was soft with just a little crust on the bottom, had a lot of some vanilla filling with a dash of mint, and chocolate on top :drool: i remember when i was studying at night, it was a common occasion to go out at 3 am just to buy that cake. i had to jog 5 times a week to avoid getting fat as fuck from just how many of these cakes i ate. my blood sugar level was so high i probably smelled like acetone for 2 years. when im trying to say is, it was a damn good cake :mellow: and it was a damn good shop!

but then they got greedy :cry: first they raised the price of the cake. then they started to put less filling and the crust started getting thicker, until it was like 60%+ of the cake. then they made the cakes smaller :cry: but they would make one or two normal sized cakes and put them in the front so you thought you were buying a normal cake, but when you actually bought the cake, they would give you a tiny one :cry: and it worked for a while. then eventually once the number of silently angry people reached critical mass, in extremely short time span EVERYONE just stopped going there :mellow: the place is still closed and no one has even tried to open anything there ever since, because people are talking about how that place is cursed :mellow: in reality it wasnt the curse that killed that shop, it was the owners greed.

that same thing will happen to poe, and for the same reason. and when that day comes, it will spark joy :blush:

and whoever says tldr, you are a noob and a cake hater <_<

Pretty sure most of the people here played the game for a long time. When did you quit? Wasn't it super long ago?
No ones at your level, they all played for such a long time.

played since 2013, quit permanently i think about half a year ago, on synthesis start. i had 4 default stash tabs and the game was already becoming too cluttered to be fun, and after the synthesis start i realized that i would need 10 times that just to pick the bases. i stopped enjoying the game completely a long time before that, but i still enjoyed making hideouts :drool: and then they made the master xp go REAL SLOW by removing the extra rep from master seeks help and removing gracious master altogether, so once they removed that, i quit and never looked back :wacko:

exclusively building hideouts doesnt count as playing the game, snyft please

I remember everyone saying you quit and dont play this game 2 years ago, and apparently that meme was old so I'm going to say you quit when you stopped enjoying the game and you only built hideouts lol...

e/ anyhow though, my point was that most of these people complaining dont have the same story as you, and continue to play, and act like oh this league is just about killing stuff as fast as you can... every league has been that way, it's a core aspect of the game

well i did quit :blush: ! but then they did the master rework and added so many cute new decors :wub: ! so i had to come back and make some more hideouts! but now its just painful with all the rep grinding, its slow af and the rep doesnt get much higher on red maps, so if you wanna grind master xp, you are better off just cleaning white maps :(

but still! doing anything within the game counts as playing the game <_< i am like that little fish that cleans the teeth of other fish :blush: ! everyone knows and loves that fish and its a necessary part of the ecosystem, everyone wants a cute hideout :blush: for example that guy in the original post by datz also has a cute hideout! except unlike xoivi (creator of that hideout, whom i know personally and is actually a very decent poe player), i dont have the time nor skill in poe to grind rep as fast as he does :wacko:

oh that... well yes, i guess people mostly complain about few things! like trade, its so easy to fix and they arent doing it :( also every time they make a fast league (breach, delve, legion), the next league will be absolutely hated cause it wont be as fast. i mean once you try cocaine, you arent going back to coffee :(

lol that story telling was somewhat of a fun read.
Cake hater though? :lol:


edit;

and yes even though they can make easy fixes that shouldn't require more than a week or two to edit in, they refuse to do so because the main source of income from poe is on pc, but even then they still don't bother releasing updates for the broken mechanics, don't get me wrong, the games free on console - but like you mentioned earlier, its only a 'free trial' in the sense that you'd need to eventually expand your stash spots and purchase more space for items, currency and whatever else you find yourself needing room for.

But anywho end rant on my end, i play the game daily and for console its rather decent, even with all the problems, so long as you outsource your trading to a 3rd party group and stick with ingame currency vs item/currency trades.
But, as mentioned earlier in different threads, they should really put an effort into QoL updates such as making a tighter restriction as to the search criteria that can be performed in the tradeboard.. the spectrum of items should be limited just to the items that meet said 'set criteria' rather than 1600+ pages for one helm with 2+projectiles for tornado shot enchant etc


k seriously ending rant now >_<
