It's not.

No not really. Its easy to skip.
So many feeling forced to do something because its in the game. There many profitable Valdos which don´t have the "Void" mod. Also most voided Valdos have pretty bad rewards so doing them is just for the challenge at this point.

Otherwise just sell the maps / puzzle boxes. Easy currency for casual players I don´t get the complain at all.

i'll just say that some people simply DONT READ.

whenever i play a game read only when i feel something is important.

for example choosing the default league.

i PAY ATTENTION to league selection because it is something i m going to sink hours into.

similarly i do the same with games. i particularly dont like certain games too much and i HATE permadeath. so i avoid those sorts of games.

the issue that i have with characters being sent to the void is its abnormal behaviour.

when i play a non hardcore mode in ANY GAME. i expect that i can do WHATEVER the fuck i want with repercussions within reason. depending on game genre it could mean loss of gold/currency. item durability. items going poof. loss of xp etc.

but i know that the game would protect me from doing anything too severe so i have a safety net. I DONT NEED to read in a sense.

sometimes i go into maps with no leech/no regen/no recovery. i get fucked. thats ON ME. but i fine with it. i didnt read and i lost xp and thats on me for not reading. and its a fine punishment too. an unexpected punishment for not prepping up properly.

i have a noob ass friend who played the campaign and struggled HARD. i had a look at his build and his elemental damage (main damage) was pitiful as he used a support gem that reduced/removed all elemental damage.

he didnt read and was punished but he can recover.

as for void maps.... the punishment for not reading is EXTREMELY SEVERE. it is worst than HC.

i really hate this game design because, for me i would prefer games to have less "built in quit moments". i will for sure acknowledge, this is the players fault for not reading. but my counterpoint is, do any of us actually read ToS?

i ll be real. i ll say most of us dont. we simply place our trust in the other party in most cases.

to me i've played the game a lot and i know what void maps are because i care enough. but there definitely could be people who "accidentally" run them or may lack the understanding of the repurcussions.

"whats the worse that can happen"

in modern gaming sometimes we have scripted deaths that the players are meant to die. sometimes when enemies say stuff like they'll delete your save. in most cases its all fluff. its all flavour.

i can understand that with the existence of void mods, players can justify crazy rewards.

and i can understand that for most of us in the forums here i would say that 99.999% of us here will NEVER run void maps by mistake.

but i always like to think of the ones that do. the people who would likely be affected would not be a forummer.

and the ones who do get the character voided by mistake might never ever return to POE.

I went into these maps to check specters but i ran in naked xD

I seriously feel bad for anyone who did get taken out by this, I almost went into one of these maps the first time by accident so that would've.. sucked had i died before noticing.
