i have 700+ hours each league possibly 6-7k+ hours in total.
if u think poe has 30 hours of content you really have no idea of what content is ^^
and we play this game for escapism.you have no saying on other player's life choices.


Arbitrarily padding actual content behind a wall of repetitive grinding is not actual content, it's filler there to waste your time and keep you a placated, money-dispensing meat-sack for GGG to continue harvesting. If you tally up all the actual acts, maps, side zones, etc., you would be lucky to get about a day and a half out of PoE. Scattering tiny islands of content into an ocean of repetitive, mind-numbing, soul-sucking grinding does not magically make the game more expansive. It makes it thinly spread.

Also, not sure what you're trying to prove by posting the achievements I don't have. Am I supposed to be ashamed or something?

nope its just an indicator of how little u know about the content ^^
since u tried to school me here:

dont play with fire if u cant handle being burnt.


I mean all you've proven is that you spend an even more asinine amount of time on this game than you initially said, which...Yeah, not sure why you still think that's a good thing. Look, I don't really care all that much if you want to do the same thing endlessly while vomiting cash onto GGG like a good little whale, but I take umbrage when people like you act like it's normal to do so or like it somehow makes you important or something. There's like about 5 people on these forums that make up "the community" and y'all are kind of insufferable.
This is a buff™

to us ur existence doesnt matter ^^
your experience is invalid and anything you write will be questioned by your achievements.
i told u about escapism. i dont come here to be reminded how insufferable people like u are irl.
Trust your mind and strengthen your abilities!
lul escapism
It's obvious how little thought went into creating the labyrinth. I am surprised they decided to keep it in their game. I guess they had no idea what their game was in the first place.
I'm a forum warrior, i was born to post, raised to defend my league. Now my post has been removed, chained and exiled by mods who Ban. Ban is my brother; i do not fear it. I see it in the eyes of men and beasts that i troll. It will take me to play the actual game when i am ready and i am not ready.

I don't think he was trying to judge your personnal playing habits. We don't know your life, so we have no way of knowing how healthy the time you are spending on the game actually is. For some, 1000 per league is OK, for others 200 is already too much.
The point was rather that 500 hours per league isn't a reasonable time to expect of players to play the game.
In my, and many other players', case, 500 hours per league isn't healthy, and any designer designing for that amount of time for main content is being, at best, unreasonable. 200 hours per league is a much more realistic target.

I suggest you review your expectations of "normal" amount of time spent on the game. If the game needs 500 hours to form a valid experience, then it is way too complex and needs some dumbing down.

Trial / Labyrinth should have been optional


When it came into the game I was really against it.
Then GGG added uber.

Then GGG decided to let powercreep go wild.
Then GGG continued to add layers and layers of rng to the game while removing little things that actually gave a sense of progression -> vorici 6l recipe as an exemple.

Now I think this game has so many more worse things going other than lab.

And yes, I still feel the same about lab…

Yes, and that's what people use as a common excuse to say 'but lab is fine!'. Just because GGG decided to mess up the other parts of the game in ridiculous ways along the way doesn't mean this one got ANY better.
GGG balance is like getting a pizza which is burnt on the sides, raw in the middle and misses the most of the toppings.
Then upon sending it back you get a raw side, burnt middle and enough toppings to drench everything in grease.
Everything fixed but still broken.
