https://i.imgur.com/jqzCz6W.png <--- where does this say anything about declining player numbers? You still didnt mention your source for that statement (if you have a source at all that is...)Game is not ready yet, don't get me wrong I love d2 and I think it is so nice that it got some people coming to it, but tons of people quitting because.
<-- And once it is "ready" ppl suddenly stop playing it? Or actually even more will come?1. Servers are not stable, at all.
<--- true, and still ppl play! What you think is gonna happen once it stabelizes? ppl suddenly stop playing then? Cuz they miss the random crashes? Or even more ppl will start with stable servers?2. Game is too hard for people who came here from sponsored streams following their fav streamers.
<-- comeon bro, be real - D2 is SO FREAKING SIMPLE BASIC compared to PoE. Im not even saying that I dont like how complexe PoE is, but you cant say ppl will play PoE instead of D2R cuz its "too hard" lmao.3. 90% of streamers who brought people in already are playing different games so are their viewers.
<-- i have no Idea if this is true or just your personal feeling. Any hard facts? Any numbers? What is your source?4. Endgame in diablo 2 is not really something that most people enjoy and pvp is dead until everyone who actually grinds get gear to do it.
<-- Ofc it takes some time to establish a highend PvP scene. Not sure why this is a problem. Also ppl are waiting for Ladder to start.5. Unfollow waves on both d2r reddit and twitters, amounts of hate posts about people not being able to refund the game.
<-- again we dont know if this is your personal feeling or any fact based statement. You have any official numbers for that? Are there even more hate posts about D2R than about PoE? Did you count them or what?6. I hope you do realise that 4000 people are active, but 70% of them trades on level 1 characters just to flip items and make forum gold.
<-- 70% huh? sounds like a pure fanatsy number to me again... seriously where do you get all those numbers and Percentages from? You didnt just simply make them up, did you? Sources please! I did atleast 50 D2R trades via JSP so far and can only remember ONE single lvl1 char. Btw, out of those 10 active poe traders, 1 is me and im idd just flipping currency...and i know at least 4 more other active flippers in the poe trade forum. That makes it ~5 real players left haha
