Play or don't play, that's on you. There's not a better ARPG game out there to dispute PoE, otherwise everyone would have hopped off already.
Even if Snyft doesn't play, I'm sure he will acknowledge that much.
FYI, there's not a single game out there that doesn't have an RMT system that won't ban you for using JSP. Some are just less strict on the rules than others.
yeee i mean, im not really the type thats gonna complain about the fact that poe is the best arpg on the market right now, numbers dont lie. i will however complain about everything else

for example i think poe is the best on the market mostly because the market itself is shit. arpg market kinda reminds me of the serbian food situation

for example 20 years ago everyone had grandparents who lived in a village and owned cattle, so everyone knew what smoked meat was. even if you didnt have it, you could just go to a shop and buy it, it was good because the shops had to compete against something of really high standard. but the times changed, no one lives in a village anymore and kids today dont even know what smoked meat should taste like

shops sell something that i can only describe as low quality meat and cartilage glued together with gelatin. costs like hell, tastes like shit, but people STILL buy it simply because they have no idea what a high quality product looks like anymore
so...i guess thats my main issue, the quality standards changed. poe is the best on the market because its a monopoly, it had time to evolve riding the wave created by diablo 2, which was a vastly superior game (judging by numbers again, although i obviously have a bias) in an environment without any competition, with the currently absolute best business model and state of the art PR. and at some point numbers just attracted numbers, it became ubiquitous (like some kids here who complained they didnt like fortnite but had to play it because everyone else did).. im not gonna play d2 now because of nostalgia and low player count, but if those two were removed i would still enjoy it the same as before
basically i might just be autistic, but i cant really explain the numbers poe has. i mean it does most things *well*, but has a lot of problems also! player interaction is nonexistent (this is done either with direct cooperation or competition and poe has neither), story is edgy af and has been patched more times than the lgbt name, and there isnt any sense of accomplishment as everything gets reworked every 3 months

the one groundbreaking thing poe gives is complexity, which is impossible to find in such a level not just in other arpgs, but in most games in general. so that might be it, idk

although for a new player, this might not be a good thing
tldr: i understand nothing
