POE2 needs a standard mode

I believe the current state of Path of Exile 2 feels more like Ruthless Mode. GGG should consider adding a Standard Mode for players who want to enjoy faster-paced action and more loot.

Map Resets on Death

Dying and having maps reset is incredibly frustrating. It disrupts the flow of the game and ruins the overall experience. It’s not fun—it’s painful.

Lack of Progression and Power Spikes

Progression feels nonexistent. My last weapon upgrade was 15 levels ago, and now I’m stuck on a boss I cannot beat. One of the best parts of ARPGs is the sense of power progression, whether gradual or sudden. Right now, there are no meaningful power spikes.

Yes, I’ve checked vendors, but nothing compares to my current weapon with +2 to skill gems and 20% spell damage. The lack of upgrades and options is demotivating.

Boss Fights Are Frustrating

Boss fights feel poorly designed. This might be a controversial opinion, but I personally hate boss fights. I dislike “souls-like” mechanics where I have to die repeatedly just to learn the fight. This isn’t the kind of experience I enjoy. Boss HP could be reduced to make these fights less punishing and more enjoyable.

Rare Monsters Are Over-Tuned

Rare mobs feel vastly overtuned. Their HP could also be toned down to make encounters more balanced and less tedious.
