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?

you bumping every thread about this (while creating some on your own) does not constitute 'huge outcry'

Like I said before, perhaps they have not decided what they are going to do, or even if they are going to do anything yet. Posting no information is better than posting about no decision. I have been around forums long enough to understand this.

GGG...Greetings exiles. Thank you for the kind, constructive feedback regarding the labyrinth. We are currently looking into the matter, and will update the community on any progress we make going forward.

Forum...

"thanks for nothing GGG"
"So it seems GGG cant even make simple decisions"
"If I ran my business like this I would be bankrupt!"
"GGG is like an old man with demetia trying to cross the street"
"what a waste of my time GGG, get your shit together!"
"just another example of how bad GGG is as a company"
"lab sucks"
"lab is frogger"
"stash tabs are pay to win!"
"I quit and I am bringing my whole guild with me!"


Then one guy posts...I don't understand, isn't this what you all were asking for?

Forum...

"asskisser"
"another white knight, as if we didn't have enough"
"lab sucks"
"Lab is frogger"

Meanwhile in the GGG offices...

"Well that went well."
"Yea, I think we should give them chocolate milk as an option at nap time instead of just white milk. that should buffer this a bit."
"I'm getting tea...anyone else what some?"
"no thanks, I think I will go relieve a little stress with a good ol game of crossy road"
