or simply have not enought time to play.

I get what you mean. Even if you are pro, if you play little, you won't be able to afford godly gear before everyone else can, and when everyone else can, suddenly YOU can't!

So it's important not to miss those deadlines for buying godly gear, if you never play you can't function.

i agree with that, but the curve in poe games isnt what it should be

in most things (in life too), it should look like a log graph. for example you start a new job, after 1 month you learn more than 50%, then in the next month you learn like 20%, then 10%, 5% etc. in gym also, beginners advance the fastest. or for example you want to buy a whisky bottle and 10$ wont get you anywhere, but with 50$ you can already buy a decent drink. 200$ and you are in the 5% best drinks if you know how to pick. then you have to invest thousands just to get slightly higher quality. d2 was the same for example, you could play a few days and get decent enough gear to do everything



but with poe, the curve doesnt seem to function that way. unless you invest a LOT of time, you wont be able to do much at all it just wastes too much time for casuals so they dont play it. and time is the only thing getting more and more valuable im fine with not being in the top 5% if i play an hour or two a day, but im not fine with my char being completely useless. simply not worth it

You don't even need godly gear to do all the content. So who cares? Poe2 was actually , even for someone who never played poe, to be able to do all content 1- 2ish months in. That's without buying divs or ex. Literally just farming myself. Only thing I really paid for was ascendancy carry.

1-2m is kinda too much if you ask me
which you didnt
but still, way too much. especially since thats over half of the league duration. basically just work work work, some enjoyment, reset, work work.. blaaah

Who cares about act 4-6 when they cant even create reasonable uniques.

Zero sense of balance.

Either nerf to useless or buff to must have. No in between.
Look at their nerf of stat builds.

They nerfed passive points, items (both % and +)
Made several uniques useless.
If you want to nerf builds, you dont nerf all things that makes builds what they are with many %. You nerf a factor or two - not all.
