And at this point you lab haters are WAY beyond that. You really should move on.

All GGG has to do in the respond to the request to "Give us hope or give us closure GGG" is to tell us to move on to another game. Are you claiming to be GGG? No, then it is more like you being a desperate or creep ex-boyfriend worried that we can negotiate a make-up with our girlfriend.

You guys demanded a change. GGG gave more laby.
You guys demanded a response. GGG tied current league mechanics behind laby. (Inya's Key)

Read between the lines? :)

We cling to hope because we are stubborn and care. If they came here and gave a clear answer like they pride themselves on communication then we could make the decision to stay or leave. One sentence. They have to know by now the plans and if they dont then shame on them. For most of us at least they would have to say we have plans to fix lab or remove ascend from it or something like that for us to stay. If they said we have no plans at this time to change lab or we dont know yet or whatever then not good enuf Me out!

Yeah they can't seem to take the hint.

The hint will probably come in 2.4. Right now the backlash is not hurting them very much, or they would already have taken action.

I too would like to hear whether they have any plans on changing ascendancy aquisition or not.

Watch them change Ascendency points from behind the lab but then gate the expansion behind it.

Anyways,

I'm still sad Chris hasn't gotten back to me about how they collected data that showed "players who want 100 enjoy a harder grind." Nor has he clarified what "harder grind" means.

Not a whole lot has been announced in terms of the direction of the game, or GGG's vision of the game since then. Sad face.

Isn't it that most simple solution is most probably the right one?

Maybe they don't have a vision at all, they just swing it and hope for the best, that's why there are 0 responses where this game is heading. I mean come one, we saw so many shit thrown in the game with lab being something that even nostradamus couldn't predict that will be implemented in PoE few years ago, so yea, i really don't see any vision here.

Interesting to note that Chris Wilson has responded to concerns about the merge of Russian players from the closing Garena servers:

There's no reason why he couldn't respond similarly to concerns about the labyrinth, but it seems like he is determined to continue dismissing the "vocal minority" out of hand. Not that he's alone there --- though he may be less happy than some others with the peace and quiet that will come from losing a significant fraction of the PoE player base.

Even Jay Wilson eventually came around to the conclusion that the Auction Houses he promoted hurt D3

but he had he following relevant (condensed and edited) comment:

"

We thought that only a small percentage of players would use the AHs, but once the game went live, nearly everybody used them. We would turn off the AHs if we could, but the company has no idea how many players like the system or hate it.

Maybe the Russians don't complain about the lab as much.

Well, Chris's post wasn't addressed to Russians, who haven't complained about much, except for poor translations

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1705601/page/1

It was addressed to all the people who've complained about Russians moving next door and taking down their property values

The outcry is pretty huge. They have to do something about lab. Right Right? RIGHT?
