High risk, low return, very uncomfortable to play with

That's a very convenient narrative to deflect criticism with absolutely zero basis in reality, and no evidence anywhere to back it up.

It's usually peddled by people who are uncomfortable with criticism, and need to create their own little warped reality to keep feeling comfortable with a product, service, or institution.

I've made my own criticsms of this game, a post I've made today even. I acknowledge its not perfect by any stretch and still requires plenty of work even for an early access title.

I do not need to provide evidence because yes, it is just a belief I hold. By the time the first league or economy reset occurs, I am either wrong about this or the players will return to play PoE 2.

That's even better.

So you express your own criticism, which you think is valid and reasonable, but at the same time you deflect the criticism of other people by claiming it's just naturally more visible but doesn't mean anything.

We live in wild times.

People get more emotionally charged when disappointed about something than content with it. Those people then become an unbalanced portion of visible chatter. Then every time, those people will claim to be the majority

This game is made for Streamers who by some miracle always have luck in RNG, and RMT with a thousand Chinese bots farming all the items and currencies in the game.
It's an ARPG disguised as a Soulslike that then disguises itself as a game. The endgame of PoE2 is simply horrible, I've never seen an ARPG Looter with so little loot, and all the loot is shit and with so much punishment and no reward like the endgame of this game.

Of course, that's not to mention everything in the game is anti-melee and anti-fun. Made for the player to waste time and more time doing useless things without any reward.
Walking through empty mazes to get to the other side of the map, taking the elevator and going through 3 doors that take a long time to open (Trials of Chaos) or spending 10 seconds to pull a lever on one of the maps.

Just repeating a claim with zero evidence doesn't make it any more true.

And what you think of me for rejecting or criticizing the shenanigans of capitalism is no concern of mine.

I told you, review bombing. Circular arguing is the laziest attempt at gaslighting. Congrats, you can't even do a bad thing well.

Which one, and what chapter or paragraph in particular.

"Just do your own research!" is a fool's reply.

This is the definition of "The Negativity Bias"
The negativity bias is a cognitive bias that results in adverse events having a more significant impact on our psychological state than positive events. Negativity bias occurs even when adverse events and positive events are of the same magnitude, meaning we feel negative events more intensely.

I'll give you that and if you want to understand why people in a negative psychological state act overly defensive, selfish, and unreasonably, check out related chapters. You have a starting point.
