Happy New Year! A 2016 Retrospective

in 2016:

-) not a thing was changed to make playing on after level 80 actually worth the player's TIME and EFFORT.

nor in any other year. been a pointless grind since beta, and will always remain one. because YOU PEOPLE let ggg get away with being lazy by buying their worthless cosmetic mtx. ggg did a SHITTY job. atlas does literally nothing but make grinding maps more confusing and difficult. every temporary league is just very very slightly different from the previous (essences were a league of its own? LOL) and a constant reminder of ggg's unwillingness to put PERMANENT and LASTING gameplay goals on the very well done foundations of PoE. face it, it's a different buff over the monster's head every single time. and even the permanent leagues are pointless. I grind maps so I can level up and grind slightly higher level maps, until I can't level any more because of the xp penalty. there is ZERO point in it as there is no meta goal. ggg even tells you to "reroll" (nonsense term) when you can't progress any more themselves. so you can do the same pointless grind all over again ^^ *facepalm*. create, delete, repeat like the cattle you are

hell, it would be enough you give standard and hc a set of challenges too. even a level progress bar from 1 to 10000 for all your characters combined would be enough (and no, the reward for that should not be a set of fucking wings or any such shit). but not NOTHING, like it is now.

and I can think of a myriad of even better ideas without breaking a sweat. anybody who has ever played any other videogame than this one in his life can. and act 5?!??! act 4 has not been finished to this day! it's a complete joke. act 3 to act 4 difficulty spike STILL slowing down progress, 1 skill point when every other act has 2 or more, no side areas at all, 1 (!) side quest, still no reward for beating malachai!!!

PS: and how do you manage to make the game's performance worse and worse over time!?! let me at least turn off other player's mtx in my client, that shit slows down the game so much when I start it!

dont forget :-

we silently nerfed all the fun droprates across the board...

We launched more purple leagues than any previous year.

Isn't the colour purple associated with Epicness in RPGs? :)
