gonna take a couple of years for that
currently I am getting back into PoE and am checking out the new league in 11 days on console, because as far as I know console is not crossplay and has no bots

Really? That is huge.
Is poe nice console?
It’s different. Feels more casual because you have to look past the inefficiencies that you experience by just having to play with a controller
Controller makes certain builds not possible or worse. The fact there is no left mouse click makes it so you can’t auto cast your 1 ability while moving. Luckily flasks can be rolled with the auto use when full mods. And inventory management and anything that requires precision clicking is worse, but once you get past that.. I really enjoyed playing crucible.
Last league I started about a month into the league and the prices were still very high, player base is smaller, reminded me of hardcore on PC and item prices held and trading was available all the way up to the 2 month mark when I stopped playing. Since there is a smaller player base, key items for builds hold value good. I remember the brass dome armor I wanted for my build and there was probably only 10 total on the market, including offline players. Although everybody wants to sell, and anyone you message that is online is actively playing and available, not really any afks or bots.
Chat is very active and I played in a lot of XP grinding parties with people who had mics. Mostly once I got to the point where I was pushing to 100 in 5ways though.
All in all, it was a good experience. No bots, no afks. Prices hold similar to hardcore PC. Community is small and that’s a plus to me. Once you get past the limitations of the controller it was a good experience. I had to learn not to compare it to PC poe or I’d always feel like I was doing poorly and/or was gimped in what I could do or how efficient I could be.
