Clearly, you guys don't give a shit about your more casual player base. We are like 95 % of the player base and you still design the game around a few players.

The stupidity of balancing shit around 3-5 players is unbelievable.
I really liked everything about 3.1 so far but with this shit it's another no supporter pack time for me.

ok heres a statement:

"only a handful of players can 1 shot shaper and guardians. This means GGG is balancing the game around those handful of players and they dont give a shit about the other 99.99% of players."


Do you see the problem with this statement? That it presumes 1 shotting shaper and guardians is the intended state of the game and if you cant do that then you are being fucked over by the balance team who isnt respecting your right to 1 shot these endgame bosses. It fails to see that the intended balance is for you not to 1 shot them, and actually the game IS being balanced around the 99.99%.


This is the mistake a lot of you in here are making, that you think being able to grind to 100 in a "realistic" (by your standards) time frame is the intended balance and hence the balance is only working for the 0.01%. Its not, its not intended that most players can get there.

The xp system is like the gear system, its designed to keep giving for as long as you want to play, you are not supposed to max it out. How many of you have played a physical crit attack character in a league? How many of you in that league had a weapon with 259% inc phys, 27-49 flat phys, 27% inc attack speed, 38% crit chance, 38% crit multi? How many of you had that weapon on your physical crit build? Are you gonna tell me that the game is being balanced around AXN, Scalpo and Doeboy in standard league and GGG only give a fuck about the softcore elites because they are the only ones able to reach max gear levels? No, somehow you actually understand and accept that you are not supposed to be able to max it out, that you reach your level, theres levels of gear above that you cant reach, but thats fine. The game is not designed to max it out, the item system is the way it is so that theres always a next upgrade no matter how hard you push it in a league, but eventually it takes more than you have to give and you say ok, this is where I got to and Im happy I got to this point.


Thats how lvl100 xp used to be, and the problem you lot have is that they ever let you get there to begin with. Now you expect it, its like they let you craft literally perfect gear and now you cant take it when they say u know what, its gonna take you another week of grinding to get that gear now. You can still get it and you are still outraged somehow. Back when it was just off the cards all together it wasnt a problem. Even tho youve gone from a point where it was impossible to a point where you can do it you are not happy because its gonna take you a little longer to do it today than it did yesterday, even though you were happy enough to play the game 2 years ago when it took you 10x as long and 2 years before that when it was impossible to get there.

The problem isnt GGG nerfing xp, the problem is that despite the nerfs the buffs have been way bigger, the problem is they have buffed xp again and again and again and again its gone from taking many months to a couple of months to a month to a few weeks to simply a week and if they try and undo even 10% of the buffs they have added to xp you all cry about how hard done by you are and how ggg dont give a fuck about their players. Serious, get real, get your heads out of your delusions and see what the actual deal is, that xp has been buffed a ridiculous amount over the last 4 years and grinding to 100 in 3.1 will be easier than it was a year before, and that was easier than the year before that, and that was easier than the year before that and so on. If you want it to be easier wheres you love for GGG for having consistently made it easier to reach level 100 every year? Are you that clouded in your ability to think that you cannot see that is the reality of the situation?
