poe isn't meant to be a main stream top selling highest played game.
it was built and is maintained to appeal to a pocket group of gamers and has inadvertently spread to a larger player base than intended. It does not mean the game should change to accommodate the influx of people that the game was not designed for.
We should all be grateful that Chris has not allowed this to turn into tencent's version of d3 where we dumb it down so every casual's demands are met.

i don't think people are quitting permanently for D2R. the end game is 20 years old and unless they add additional content (which is highly highly unlikely) people will get bored and move on. If the new league looks even remotely interesting...people will jump back on the PoE bandwagon. As far as prices are concerned...I don't think they will bounce back to pre-expedition levels but somewhere in between exped and ulti

for me personally. i thought of d2r as a timesink between expedi and the new league. I imagine a lot of people are on the same boat (atleast those that actually contribute to the endgame)

untill bots come back to d2r poe gonna be out for most

harvest made it easy for ssf gears and poe is not grabbing new players, it just the same old players playing the same leagues over and over. Atlas passive also made the game easier to farm everything yourself.

nobody playing that's pretty much it
