You don't seem to be far into endgame if you don't see the big difference.
Giving the player numbers it's not hard to say that it's simply more than just "parroting" a line, cause the endgame is simply just done better.

Yes you can, but is it useful? No, you'd grief your own progress in either cases trade league and ssf if you run maps in random blind orders after the atlas progression. PoE2 on the other hand doesn't even give you the freedom to farm the total optimal BiS maps, and having more range of maps without getting punished is far better than running the same sets of 2-3 BiS maps that we had over years now in PoE1, depending on the atlas strategy you pick

Personally, Im not going to continue doing maps when I cant seem to encounter Citadels frequently enough. Ive done about 300 T15 maps and seen 2 Citadels. Thats trash. Ive seen people say 'go in one direction' - and if that may be true what is the point of 'infinite' atlas if you only go in one direction? Thats dumb. (Im not a fan of Delve or Sanctum).

Regarding the PoE 1 Atlas and Mapping - You mention grief your own progress? What are you talking about? The game lasts 4~ months usually - what is there to gimp? Just play the game and youll drop things. If you believe there are only 2-3 maps to farm in PoE 1 then thats very sad to hear. You should stop playing since you seem to mix-max the fun out of it. When PoE 2 is fully released you will probably do the same to it also.

Anyway... That one sentence seems to have told me everything about how you play the game - aka Min-Max Fun Out of the Experience.
Youre not forced to do anything. You can also pretty much farm anything in PoE 1 and profit as long as you do it on a consistent basis.

IMO, PoE 2 actually needs to be harder than it currently is and drop less of everything - including Uncut Gems and make it more PoE 1 Ruthless Drop System.

So people enjoying run 20+ trash/bad/unfun/nonjuice maps and 5 towers... before have fun in 5 maps fully juice...

why i have to spend a lot of time to just have fun for 30mins...

PoE2 is great game but endgame is boring for me.

poe2's endgame is just awful. some of the worst i've ever seen. and it has nothing to do with lack of content or it being "EA". they just purposely try to make it as unfun as possible for players. 90% of the maps are awful. and we are forced to run them. all the towers are surrounded by these maps so if we put in a breach tablet for example, then we will need to do the breach in augury/ vaal pyramid/ mire etc.
GGG could easily turn this around by letting people run what maps they want with what content thy want,but they wont because for some reason they want this game to be as frustrating and tedious as possible. i have no idea what they gain from making the game so unfun. and what gets me the most is they pretty much killed poe for this. i am just waiting for them to announce that they will no longer be making new leagues for poe. or they will only make 1 or 2 per year.

I thought they were only making 1 or two leagues for Poe1 per year. Its 9th Jan and no info about the first league of 2025... when they release info it'll a month at least till it starts? maybe? so that will take us to July, then another league to take us to the end of the year.

POE 2 BAD

and because of that they are focusing more on it and using POE 1 resources on it like they promised they wouldnt.

300,000 twenty four hour peak. What do you want on Path of Exile's tombstone.... Just kidding, that joke of a game doesn't even get a grave.

While PoE1 is still fun to play it simply doesn't get anywhere near PoE2, and PoE2 is not even running it's fullest potential yet.

But even the early access version is enough to get PoE1 outmatched, due to lot's of factors, and let's be real PoE1 leagues already die pretty quick these days and don't even get remotely close to the numbers of PoE2.

The moment PoE 2 gets it's full release and is free to play, PoE 1 can sign out for goods lol.

I really wish I could play the same game as you. For me, PoE 2 is the most boring ARPG I've played in years. Up there with Wolcen. Nowhere near as fun as PoE 1--not even as fun as mediocre games like Diablo 4 or Last Epoch.

...For that matter, Wolcen's game feel might be better than PoE 2. That's where the rubber hits the road for me. PoE 2 is actively a slog to play; maybe that's where the people who like it just have very different tastes and want the game to feel absolutely glacial and chained by animations, ala Dark Souls. Not even PoE 1 in closed beta act 1 or 2 felt that bad, and I played the game at that time so I'd know, back before support gems even existed.

PoE 1 is an outdated game that was kept on life support longer than it should have been .
Throwing more money and ressources at it will only delay the inevitable .

Me too man. Give me back my 6 portal game I'm tired of losing everything on my map cuz I get blown up from out of view distance.

You have to be pretty drunk or unintelligent in some other way to think these graphs prove anything.
