So he was the constant depth xxxx spammer; grab the torches lads. Not only was he a constant and unavoidable reminder of what we casuals could never achieve, players like him also cause GGG to balance their game based on their progress. People like him are the reason mobs can and need to oneshot you and you only see Aul maybe once in the league.

Also; people watch his level of play including trivializing content and then quitting the league half way because they got bored. Surely's got no influence at all on player retention since people don't copy behaviour.

Other streamers doing random builds, going hc, racing, crafting or whatever is all nice and caters to a part of the playerbase. I just can't see how this dude contributes in any way. Prove me wrong.

You are wrong.

So this is the person responsible for the incessant 'Crap_ChrisCantStopMySpam' messages popping up non-stop on my screen every 30 sec for hours and hours on end. And GGG not only refused to do anything about that spam, but highlighted and promoted it, as if it was something good.

I never thought PoE would make me feel this way, but the game became more enjoyable when this guy finally quit the league. If I cared about this streamer or wanted to track his progress, I'd be watching his stream. Good thing he didn't decide to go to depth 5000, or 10000.

Breaking the game and making all enemies completely unable to hurt you may be a great achievement, but that spam was really annoying. Maybe if you were actually playing your game, Bex, you wouldn't be so fascinated.

I am a noob.....

So you've never noticed that literally every single time some reached a zone for the first time in a league or reached the highest level on the ladder or died while near the top of the ladder that a message displayed? The messages for the delve progress weren't something special just for them; they would display regardless of who was pushing deeper into the delve.
