i hope someone at GGG reads this stuff and realises just how much their own fault this reaction is.

poe wasnt a racing simulator with TERRIBLE balance and (currently) imploding design - it was a very simple, elegant yet deep game with interwoven mechanics and intricacies. but like ~2 years ago things changed and instead of 'better, fixed' all the new stuff we get is 'better, stronger'

you addicted the playerbase to cheap and stupid power - stuff like Kinetic Blast, Tornado Shot, Vessel Of Vinktar and (luckily gone) vaal pact. you fed them said power with spoons whose capacity rival a small lake.

playerbase got addicted and polarised. playerbase that expects something more than 'you are great player, congrats' message POE gives in abundance - left. because the then beautiful and difficult game is a cheap abuse-or-suffer clicker more similar to mortal combat + forza racing sim than to diablo 1 or 2

people that left (excluding some extreme outliers like myself) expect cheap power and that self-esteem boost that comes from unjust power and free handouts. they expect 3 screen clears in place of current 2 screen clears, they expect 300% movement speed cap in place of current 200%

these players were vein-fed power-creep drug for at least 2 years now

and now you give them this? seriously? and i mean that - SERIOUSLY?

Could this be used to trigger EE? Then toss your fire or lightning trap for the kill?

traps don't trigger EE if i remember correctly. it has to be damage directly caused by the player.
