Theres less than 6 total pages of content related to liking or disliking lab. Only 2 of them are active. And both those threads are actively posted in by a handful of people.

Not exactly the same as other threads posted in by a larger amount of different people.

Spoiler

The hell are you even talking about? Every one of those posts is made by a different person, it's not even remotely close to being the only threads about lab, and there's one thread sitting on the front fucking page that is 299 pages long.

Clearly I'm missing something in your post. Sarcasm? IDK what it is.

I just looked at the ESC ladder. In the top 2000, every single one has done the lab. So I started at the bottom and scrolled up. I finally found one that hadn't ascended. A scion at rank 13697. So, it took me looking through 3303 characters before I found one that didn't do the lab. How many unascended characters do you think there are in the ladder? I'd be interested to know. The top 2000 can be downloaded so it's easy to search those.

Anyway, the point is, So what? So what if some people don't like the lab? If they do it anyway, then what difference does it really make? Why should GGG change something that most people do and a few people are vocal about hating? What incentive is there to change anything?

Clearly you cant read a picture.

Also how many of those threads have less than 5 replies, how many less than 10, 95%.... also that 299 page thread has less than 50 different posters.

Labs not changing get over it and go whine some where else. Get your sht together, get it all together and put it in a back pack, all your sht, so it's together. And if you gotta take it some where, take it some where, you know, take it to the sht store and sell it, or put it in the sht museum. I don't care what you do, you just gotta get it together. Just get your sht together...

Thing is these threads would die off if a group of people could stop bumping them because of wanting to make their opinion wanted.

And the pages fill up rather quickly because people do personal debates so you end up with 5 pages of 4 people arguing.

Now if it was 299 pages where every post was made by a different account then maybe you could say that a lot of people hate labyrinth. (I bet the number of pages would be <30 if you trimmed it down to 1 post per account)

And it still wouldn't be representative because:
1) A small % of people actually go to the forums
2) People are more often to express their opinion when it's time to complain about something rather than give praise to something (and thus the reason why 90% of feedback section is people complaining about stuff that annoys them rather than giving positive feedback on stuff they like)

I won't even begin to argue how bad an argument is bringing online polls as a fact, nor the fact some members thrown around numbers without any citation or proof about the scale of players who do not like the labyrinth.

It's funny to me that you think any different poll would have different results, honestly. We both know you don't really believe that so cut the crap already

Why even have a feedback forum at all? Take this trolling somewhere else

Mark, I just gonna chip in here. I don't like the lab and I still do it. I am pretty confident in running it, I did it numerous times on all of my hc characters, cause I hate to. Now to your bolded part. It takes away the pleasure of playing PoE from me. Completely. This is the difference it makes as I play PoE for the joy of hack and slash and lab takes that away from me. That's all there is, if I don't find game's content to be fun even if I can run it no problemo I will dislike the content, a lot.
