In the past (OB) when content was more difficult, it was normal to swap gear for different maps / boss fights (Temple, Crema, Atziri) - switch shield, switch gems, replace flasks, etc. Maybe because of power creep this is not needed anymore..

I'd almost forgotten this. I remember the first Atziri runners would bring in a permanent curser when hex master meant curses never expire and before the different bossfights they'd respec a nontrivial amount of passive nodes.

I honestly don't inderstand the complaint that the lab is too easy and boring. If it's so easy and boring, you would spend far less time actually doing the lab than making forum posts about how boring it is. It seems like a hollow argument to me. Just a made up justification for hating the lab that is supposed to sound more noble and logical than the real reason for the hate.

People that "dislike the lab" don't dislike it for logical reasons, they dislike it because its something they have to "go out of their way to do"

Just because you personally cannot see the logic in it, doesn't mean it's not logical.

It only means that you're unable to see things from a perspective other than your own narrow one.

Why you post on mule\alt account?

You need to get other people to see your perspective if you want them to help you with it. If everyone, including the developers, is unable to understand you, then they cannot work to solve your problem even if they acknowledge you have a problem worth working to solve.

I honestly don't see how Lab is different from running through the levels and killing Hillock, collecting the three glyphs, killing the warden, killing Merveil, killing/helping the bandits, killing Fidelitas... You do it on every character, it's pretty much the same every time, it was kinda hard the first time you do it but after a while the risk is pretty much mitigated, and Lab out of all of that stuff added together is not a significant amount of time.

Pick one:

* If the Lab is trivially easy, then it means you get lots of power for little investment, no reason to complain

The main issue I have with the labyrinth is that it is a different gameplay from the rest of PoE. A play style that is boring, irritating, tedious and not fun. It is trivially easy but I play the game for fun. I have every right to complain when they take a very fun game and stick horrible game play into the middle of it. I have a very good reason to complain because GGG took my favorite game of all time and inserted a huge chunk of content that is so bad it makes me not want to play.

But the game you loved and had fun with is still there unchanged and you can still play and enjoy it like you did before.
They just added something new for people that want to expand on the default experience with a "special" reward for accomplishing something "special".

@Demonoz
I like your posts. Kinda remind me of the poems in the lab :)

I wish the lab was removed by support.

I do not support this, but i have to admit that the title reached another level of awesomeness after the edit by the support team.

I like to believe leaving the "is" before the removed was a grammatical choice...

I haven't changed the title after GGG support removed the word that comes afterwards.
I have to say that the word was not a swear or anything like that.
added this to the first post though: "another note: lol, safe space is strong with GGG support!"

Talking about GGG's grammatical choice, not yours.

Also, the irony in somebody who asked how to ignore list others on the forums after making this thread and calling GGG out on "safe space" is hilarious.
