I love how you transparently communicate with your community and fans. Thank you GGG for making such a great game and keep improving it !

The best expansion you could give us would be to just fix the crappy performance issues and turn the loot table back up to Legion levels for non league mechanic gameplay. With those 2 things alone we might actually be able to enjoy playing the bloody game.
All expansions seem to mean these days is a new forced upon us meta that we have to play to make a league mechanic work, more bugs, more server creaking, and crappy drops.
How about simply letting us play the game "our way" and stop making the game so damn increasingly grindy.

I hope they never go back to Legion level loot explosions. Never! Too much is too much.

i agree. when everything shits out exalts like candy, it becomes boring quickly. legion only lasted about a week of dedicated playing for me because of that even though, for leagues i like, i go for 40/40 challenges. not with legion.

Bow league next? Thats fire!!!

POE is pretty much the only game I play when I have some free time these days, I don't think I have ever played any other game quite as much; that being said, I feel like the game has been spiraling down after delve.

You guys have some really good ideas but I feel like unless I am playing the meta or exploits of the moment, I can't really enjoy the league properly and that pretty much kills it for me. I think that there is already so much content available, perhaps trying to improve the already existing mechanics would be nice, instead of perpetually adding new things on top of this huge pile already.

I used to play pretty hardcore but can you even enjoy all aspects of the game nowadays without playing hundreds of hours within a league? The way the game has been heading lately is kind of the drop spilling the cup for me. Constant, radical nerfs / boosts to support micro-transaction sales, MTX recycling box fubar, trading system horrible these past few leagues (c:ex ratio...).

I probably won't play much until 4.0 but will keep an eye out.
Good luck to you guys.

Everything sounds great, can't wait... except for this:

and a fresh metagame

Please stop doing this! It is extremely annoying when I like a build, and you guys wreck it the next league. Not to mention all the time that goes into planning/making a build, not everyone can keep up with that. Or wants to keep up with that. Just keep the old meta's around for those that want to play them.
You guys put so much work in the class, skill and balance changes every time, just to let it go to waste.

c:ex ratio is a result of how much chaos is dropping. People get tons of pure chaos drops from delve and now blight chests so thats why c:ex ratio has been high for some leagues now. More drops = inflation rises. And still people are demanding loot drops to go back to Legion level :)

Go-go China!

Оптимизация!!!!!

I expect nothing. If something happens I shall be vastly surprised. Let's hope I get surprised.

So cool !
