A wild stab in the dark:

1. correcting made errors in balancing
2. balance temp leagues to provide a better gameplay experience
3. make old content compatible with upcoming content (no abuse of mechanics etc.)

As for "made errors", quite a few players never experience them, yet they cry about them. Astounding.

I do guess you also imply why legacy items are not altered to the new versions. I like to think it is to respect the player's investment to gather such items. If GGG was just changing the most important, hard to comy by parts of my gear to the worse I would quit, simple as that.

Ok, I can understand balance changes - this is what we need. But if some item is not balanced anymore why still keep it in the game? Makes no sense.

Yeah, respect players time and/or currency spent on that items. But in the other hand "disrespect" those people who buy mirrored gear or have 6x tier 1 items because of new higher tiers coming.

Why you don't add Mortal Conviction to 'The Covenant' and 'Malachai's Simula' is beyond me, the changes to auras make both of these pretty much pointless without Mortal Conviction.

Good point, +1

I am disappointed that you went legacy way.

That's it, I will play temporal leagues only.
Can't believe that prices went up artificially because of a developer change to the system once more.
GGG please add new 4 month leagues, I am out of the system of standard = legacy shit.
Not willing to give all my gameplay time in the form of orbs to other
greedy merchants or farmers botters, or people playing the economy simulator in the forums and in poe trade. I will not have the chance to enjoy the content as it was originally designed but people with legacies and lots of exalts mirrors will. POE its not worth it for me anymore until they put 4 Month leagues.

And at the end of the leagues its the same as standard.

Legacy merchants, you have one less customer providing orbs to the system.
And then they say they want more playerbase.

pffff.

I don't understand what you mean by the first sentence. However I think it is the duty of GGG to povide the needed balancing rather than kick items from the game.

You think of all those mirrored items owners who now don't have the best of the best anymore, whose items are only 95% godly?
Sure I would not appreciate the new top tiers if I had any mirrored gear, BUT:
You cannot possibly expect a game not to evolve. And in terms of level coverage, the top map being 78 (uncorrupted), and the level cap being 100, I see how it might evolve.
Also, those people are super rich mostly, so they can take it. Their items enabled them (and they still enable them, even after The Awakening launch) to run the top endgame content with relative ease. And they have a gain from that, even more highend gear and currency from selling good endgame drops.

As the whole game adjusts to new content, your items do so too. Owning such items still puts you far on the side of overly privileged players, it's not like the mirrored items owners are rendered penniless.

Perma league balance does not matter since there is no ladder competition.

I suggest "Rebuke Of The Vaal" 1h sword also needs some attention. Looks like an intesresting item, which is currently heavily underpowered. Maybe removing elemental damage, adding chaos damage and increasing an attack speed might help.

Then Standard should continue to drop the legacy version since it apparently doesn't matter for balance, all this change does is inflate the prices hugely.
