Have 2 dudes at 97 still having a blast. Never die. Makes tons of currency. Really enjoy tgr atlas map system. Idk. I really don't see the issues everyone's having.

You're on the forums, maybe read some of them and take the people at their word?

This game is heavily RNG based and unbalanced. Are your 2 guys meta builds? Are you getting consistent currency drops or valuable items? If either of those questions is a yes, then you're obviously not going to see the issues everyone else is having. Not running a meta build means you're dying way more often, even if your stats are great. Not getting currency or valuable items means upgrading stats is painfully slow, so progress stalls. I shouldn't grind 30+ maps with only a meager pittance of currency to show for it.

The game isn't for everyone, because only some people are feeling rewarded for playing it. The rest of us are feeling fucked over, and when we come to the forums to voice our concerns, we're just told to "git guud" or "im not having any problem, must be skill issue"

Final Verdict: Frustrating Endgame, Outdated Systems
Path of Exile 2 could have been a masterpiece, but punishing mechanics, a bot-controlled economy, poor performance, and a frustrating loot system make it exhausting rather than enjoyable. Unless you have infinite patience for unnecessary grind and frustration, it's hard to recommend this game in its current state.

Rating: 4/10 - Tons of potential, but a complete mess.

Bro, you have summed up my feelings about this game in a concise and clear way.

Don't pay attention to all these "non-causal trolls" who will defend this game and prove that "it's hardcore" and all that. It's just that shit has covered their eyes and hasn't gotten into their mouths yet. That's why they say it tastes good.

You must not be grinding effectively. When my wife and I grind juicy breaches we are dropping 10 to 15 div in 1 to 1.5 hrs. And when I'm solo I grind ritual. Yesturday I made 50 div in 4 hrs of ritual. Games to easy honestly. Ppl just playing it wrong.

That's not the case for the majority playing the game right now.

How much did you spend for your Build? a few hundred Divine?

Most people like you use RMT to buy the Divines to make your builds like the streamers and sharks do, it's so common and than you people come on the forums and state their is nothing wrong, game is great, blah, blah, blah..

Yeah, I bet it's fun when you have a big enough bank account to fund your in game adventures and gear requirements like Elon XD..

It is close to 350,000 players that have stopped playing in one month. You are on pace to collapse before you get out of EA. This is the exact same mistakes and goofy mechanics people begged them not to do in Poe1 during its beta phase. I was part of that and told them to fix melee and stop catering to the stupid traders. In response they doubled down where the game went from semi popular to a handful of hardcore trade simulation bros. The game about itemization needs to have proper drops, not a trade system. The majority of the players dont use the market nor care so why is anything oriented around it. The devs said they have made decisions based on the market. What market. Nobody cares about their pretend trade simulator. They lost the majority of players for this reason and now they are doing it again while you are defending this practice. They said they wanted more casuals and they said they were going to fix the issues of Poe1, but apparently not. The game is oriented in a manner that will guarantee its failure

Because to trade you pay them.
Don't overthink it

I have not spent a penny dude. I have 450 hrs into the game all self farmed. My build is like 530 div. All self farmed. I come from 4k hrs poe1 experience which helps. Ut if I spent money on the game I wouldn't even play it. The progression is the reason I play it.

Also only streamer i watch is quin69, and he's ssfhc and play dumb builds....

I invite GGG to take a hard look at my account for any rmt or duping. They will find nothing. I don't abuse games. No point playing if there's no progression.

Don't feed the troll, bro)) He will earn while he will get over 5k hours like u did, like I did ) Same here: 2 builds with over 300 d budget, self farmed. Yesterday profited with rituals for 3.5k ex in 2 h. Simple as that

Yeah you dummies. Just grind the same mechanic all day every day so you can play the game. LOL
