You are in no position to say that though. All your topics about "game too easy" are also solely attitude problems. The solutions for your issues are already there (harder modes, non meta builds) you just refuse to use them. It's all just a "you" issue. Doesn't stop you from insisting on it.

When people complain about the game being too hard you go "play another build". But when you complain about the game being too easy and people tell you to play a harder mode that's an invalid argument because you don't want to. Nice double standard.

Because it is too easy, I even use half the items I used last league, and still it is way too easy. Is your solution is to play naked toon to feel any challenge?:P I want the game to test my skill, so I would have to use as best gear as I could, to use every trick in my sleeve, not just be an idle clicker, lol. Or do you think hc or ruthless have different monsters than on softcore? xD

I think this is hilarious and shows the problem with games today. The guy has been playing in a guild for 12 years, always in softcore trade. With a guild, he plays 20h/7 always with a meta build and says he wants to be challenged??? GGG made the HC mode, the SSF mode, the Ruthless mode, but you play in softcore trade??
My friend, even though I'm a beginner programmer, I know how easy it is to make a player die. I know how to program a progress barrier that declines after a while of playing. If you play something for 12 years, 20h a day, and it's not easy for you, you have a problem. So what games do for you is create progression barriers, and THAT'S what the t17s are in PoE. They're just barriers that fall after you've played 200h~300h, that is, if you don't use xploits or buy items with real money. If you use this, this barrier will fall even sooner. The problem is that those who don't have these 300 hours will be stuck in a monotonous game with no progress and no meaning. No matter how much this barrier is raised, inevitably the no-lifers will pass it, and the softcores and casuals will realize how stupid this is and BOTH will stop, and that's why the POE leagues are systematically dying faster and faster.
I work all day (and not sitting around playing a game on a stream). When I turn on a game, I want ENTERTAINMENT, I want to have fun, not to be "challenged", because that doesn't exist in a PVE game, especially in a SOFTCORE game with 12 years of life playing with a meta build...

All drops in the game were removed from the maps and thrown into the super juiced t17, which makes the journey through the awakened orb useless, since their idea was to make all maps a part of the end game farm by making all maps t16, but now t16 continues to be horrible as always, but emptied of meaning, without loot, without real progress.

Yeah, I know cold coc should be CI occultist, it was true not just in modern poe. But really don't like witch's model and animations.

Oof. Lamenting difficulty of content while at the same time knowingly choosing the weaker ascendancy due to model and animation preferences. Something doesn't add up here.

I'm afraid the "RP" in "ARPG" is a holdover from days gone by. If you want to beat all content you have to make build strength your priority. And yes that means using pob unless you are part of the absolute elite that can make uber viable builds just from "feel", without checking the numbers.
