Concurrent player numbers are deceptive

Chinese server for poe 1 was on a separate client

Now Chinese players don't have their own client yet, and they're playing on the steam version/standalone version with us

This is why the numbers seem higher than they actually are, but in reality, the game isn't that successful or popular

So please stop using arguments that are based on the player count

Yep, this is exactly the type of "constructive feedback" which will help to improve the game.

This explains why, even with a considerably high number, I don't see any Brazilians on the Brazilian server. Only Chinese bots.

I mean, that was two weeks ago. I can only imagine how much worse it is now.

Why do you keep taking pains non-stop, in every Thread with a slight criticism of the "God GGG"?

feedback is only meaningful and valuable when it's heard by the people who are supposed to hear it and make changes based thereon

knowing we're merely talking to a wall with these feedback threads, why would I even waste my time trying to provide actual feedback, when it's been proven hundreds of times that the devs only care about the streamers' and the content creators' opinion regarding the game's state?

why do you think the devs never interact with anyone on these forums, or anyone on the discord, or anyone on the subreddit, or anyone in the game?

of course they keep saying that they're monitoring these forums, reading our feedback, etc. there's no difference between an average politician and ggg's dev team.

It's a FEEDBACK forum. This isn't even about the game, it's about OTHER posts that have been made about player retention, none of which is feedback, and I'm sick of watching GOOD posts with a lot of constructive criticism get BURIED by this garbage.

then why are you people using the player count as a counter-argument to negative feedback?

"You people" for one is funny.

I've only used it when it was a counter-argument to "dead game" or any of the other grossly false gestures in that vein.

Yeah, if someone's putting forth good faith efforts to give feedback and someone responds, "But the player count..." yeah that's dumb...but that ain't everyone.

The game was sold as an ARPG Looter with a focus on trading, and the game actually revolves around that. Receiving feedback that the game is full of bots, more than normal players, manipulating the game's economy is extremely valid feedback and useful information for those thinking about starting the game, knowing in advance that the game does not deliver what it promises.
