The grind was too much, I'm done

This game is all about the grind, farming until you can get wealth so you can buy an item yourself, unless you are in the top .00001% of players (or one that knows an exploit) that can actually use crafting mats for crafting. For the vast majority of players, the game is all about saving up currency so you can buy an item yourself. Very rarely does the game drop you something that your build can use. I played this game a ton, but the difference between D3 and PoE is huge. D3 focuses on the visceral fun of slaying enemies, while this game is more about acquiring wealth, which is why RMT is thriving in one of these games.

I agree, I wish the difficulty of this game came from hard fights, not from ridiculously low drop rates. I wish, I'd do some really hardcore fights, but also gave great reward for it. Meanwhile, I'm just spaming my AoE on monsters and hope, that I'll drop something useful in 1 per 100 maps.

He can't :( Hardcore league is also build around low drop rates. With correct gear facerolling PoE is a butter and peanuts.

It is something of a conundrum for me. On the one hand, I can't wait to get to maps to find out how well my build works out. On the other hand, once I get there, I realize how boring the game is from then on.

Completely opposite here.

Level 1 to 80: zzzzzzZZZZZzzzzz. 3 seconds to attack/cast. Miss every other attack. You're playing with no idea what your build will really look like later on. No leveled gems. Crap gear. It's almost embarrassing to call it a "build", at this point.

Game starts when you hit maps.

I consider all of that a failure of the game. Leveling doesn't have to the snoozefest it is but it is. Maps don't have to be the snoozefest that they are...but they are.

Each area of the game fails for different reasons.

Also hilarious to see you lately bashing PoE on every thread that had similar feedback.
Remember the days when such threads were clear and out loud laughed by not only you but all other supporters that now crive for changes.

In this post: a game's difficulty can only be judged based on the best gear in the game.

This is nonsensical. In hardcore, you are going to die. And it will be enemies, not drop rates, that kill you. That by definition means the game is difficult. If you don't understand that, ARPGs are definitely NOT for you.

I've been pretty consistently critical of certain elements of PoE since the start of open beta.
