Since GGG forced lab down our throats, how about some protection from lab carries that quit or die?

LOL
This is a really high level thread here, I haven't seen one like this in a while hahaha.

No wonder GGG prefers reddit when you see that ...

I'm sorry, you seem soooooo aware of what has been said about the lab, statement so many sources and "evidences" (/rofl), but you have not been able to actually read and understand what was in there ?

funny, heh

So yeah, it has been said/explained many times.
Since lab-haters wearing blinders might not be able to understand that, I'm not going to waste time trying to point at the obvious here.

Yeah, going to have to go ahead and say you still haven't explained anything.

Why do people complain about lab more than any other mechanic

As long as there is an options menu, nothing is being forced upon anyone.

press escape key
scroll to bottom
select "Exit Path of Exile"


GGG has already proven that they don't give a monkey turd about you getting scammed. They won't ever do anything. You have been around this game long enough to know this. So why post something you know they will ignore, and will only lead to back and forth between people who have exactly 0 power to do anything about it. If you think about it, there is a very easy way to shut down all lab carry scammers, and that is to make lab solo only.


If you press escape, and exit path of exile forever, they won't miss you. They haven't missed anyone who ever left because of some subjective dislike of a portion of their game. As long as this option exists, you can't claim you are being forced to do anything.

what a sad state of the current playerbase.

finally get somewhat challenging content for the first time in YEARS... and nothing but complaints about it.

and now this level of self-entitlement that now appears to be unprecedented.

tries to bypass the lab and then complains when the carry isn't successful. AS IF THAT'S GGG'S FAULT.

add in the moon landing, a fake scientist, "facts," and calls for censorship.


you refuse to do the lab yourself, you feel entitled to the reward, you try to game the system instead of actually playing the game...

protip: ggg doesn't encourage carries/services, to begin with. there's a reason why the trade window is what it is - and why you need to hover over whatever item's in there.

1) Lab is optional. If you advocate for its removal, you advocate for not using it at all; therefore, just don't use it, because that is the alternative.

2) I'm assuming you are talking about uber lab because you are talking about carries. Not having 2 ascendancy points isn't that big of a deal for most ascendancies.
And it is something you can work your build towards, even at level 90 or whatever it takes to do it for your build.

3) "Carries" aren't a sanctioned part of the game; thus, there is no in game interface or support for them. And I think this is a good thing. If you wish to circumvent the game there are risks.

4) Scams are actually supported by the spirit of the game in a kind of sick way. If you misplace your trust in another exile and he back-stabs you (or BETRAYSs you perhaps), it only makes since.
I'm not saying that scams are a good thing by any means, but it is easy enough to avoid those situations.

5) Join a guild and get to know people. Guildies will likely be willing to do carries/other favors and are fairly trustworthy (ofc that depends on the guild).

carry services for what ever game content are bad for the game's reputation cause

- the game neither supports it nor helps with the payment on service completion

- it's a constant source of disapointment for players and ruins the game's reputation (see reddit)

- it allows bad players to get achievements and challenges done although they are too stupid to do them themselves

- players nolifing and doing services profit greatly from those, players with less playtime not

- ggg did the worst thing possible by stating that they "ban scammers" and so encouraged players to report other that drop out of services, threatening them to lose their accounts which is a no go for supporters

- doing ingame stuff for currency feels like a job (and probably is)

- using ingame services feels like a shopping spree and you cheated the game (which you basically did)

What about this GGG? You forced this content onto the players, the vast majority of which would love for lab to not be a thing, and we have no way of protecting ourselves from these scams.

Vast majority of players are liking lab or are ok with it. Complainers are vocal minority, mostly - noobs.

PS: LtP, git gud.

Well, anyone who buys a Labyrinth carry clearly isn't ok with it. And looking at how blooming the carry business is, I think it's safe to say that facts prove you wrong :)

Lab is one of the most hated features in the game, not sure why anybody would think otherwise. Everything about it is rotten.

Every statement in this post is correct.

Any time mechanics which exist outside the game (perhaps the most appropriate use of the word "meta") are more beneficial than using in-game mechanics, the game is cheapened.

Sometimes by a lot.
