Dear Community (A message from an ex-pro)

POE isnt an esport so there are no Pro's in POE therefore you arent pro

If you cannot understand a pros decisions IN GAME, you have NO RIGHT to judge a pros views OUT OF GAME.

What part of that concept is hard to understand? A cashier at a store doesn't question a Yale graduate.

Buddy, as I stated in my other open letter to this 'community', I'm done here.

I did what I came to do, told you where the pros and me have all gone, and why the game is now a hollow leaderboard full of fools instead of real pros like me.

Bye. I won't miss this 'community'.


I am confused. Please explain.

On the other hand, I am so relieved you have changed your mind and I didn't have to cry to make you come back!
Wash your hands, Exile!

Stop questioning the Yale graduate, you cashier!
It will convert your forum titles into decorative square badges that use the space next to your forum posts more economically so that you can show off an unlimited number of them at any one time. - GGG, 2018 (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3573673)
I mean the first couple of these threads were amusing as far as satire goes, but it's quickly become boring. You should try your 'GGG needs to pay it's players to play and make content for THEM!' rhetoric again.
Dear revered ex-pro player, if a Yale graduate is buying groceries please explain how the cashier finds out if the Yale graduate would like his groceries bagged or not if the cashier can't question the Yale graduate?
Over 430 threads discussing labyrinth problems with over 1040 posters in support (thread # 1702621) Thank you all! GGG will implement a different method for ascension in PoE2. Retired!

As I know that many of you may not currently have the accumulative time to divulge in my entire chain of rhetoric that will be listed below, I am writing this letter to the community as a means of attempting to understand why the very community built around a game would abhor certain members simply on the fact that they perform at another level. I'm not stating that I am the best PoE player (countless top placements at the start of races, solo self found top tier Ranger and Shaman, top 5 guild leader in WOW, S-tier in Everquest rankingboards). What I am saying is, I am one of the best, and when I give advice on these forums, it honestly comes as a bit of an unexcused shock treatment, that I'm not heeded.

Why does this matter? Once you look at the greater picture, you'll quickly realize this sets up an inappropriate response system for elite level players. Take Hollywood for example, and consider these forums to be a hollywood party. A high tier actor would not only have the carpet laid out for them, they would also be respected no matter what. It's quite obvious, that they earned it.
Now, before you get up in arms like a citizen hunting Frankenstein , realize I'm not saying I'm the top tier actor. But what I am, is a top tier gamer in the current meta. And when I give specific advices regarding scenarios I'm familiar with, they should be heeded.

But these forums are a bit of an enigma. Someone who has walked the walk and talked the talk, simply isn't heeded. That's not okay, and I think we can all agree on that, on some level, deep down.


Just because you’re from South Korea doesn’t mean you’re a pro. Inductive and deductive logic... works well here everyone.

Problem is, you haven't walked the walk, you've only talked the talk.
So don't be suprised by the ridicule and scorn (not hate, there is a difference) poured on you.
Actually show us your accomplishments instead of only claiming them and you'd get very different answers.
May your maps be bountiful, exile

Pro is if you make money doing X. Like mathil and other players run successful paying streams.

Like a school teacher is a pro but not someone writing free guides in witch forums isnt no matter how much they teach ppl.
