A Message to Path of Exile 1 Players

That's sad

poe2 dev wont affect poe1 league we remember you liars

PLEASE GGG. PLEASE TRY TO COMB THIS OVER WITH A NEW SUPPORTER PACK ANNOUNCEMMENT. I BEG YOU.

I bought POE2, installed it and uninstalled it. It's not ready for my full attention and probably won't be for years, but I wanted to show support and I know someday I'll think it's fun, but right now, I'm playing POE 1 waiting for an update.

I didn't really like the Affliction mechanic, don't like Necro, and Settlers is meh. I've been faithfully waiting for a new league. I'm not going to be playing POE2 for a couple years likely...can we focus on the game that is better than Diablo 4 instead the one that isn't?

A lot of Johnny-come-lately's who found GGG a couple of months ago with the new shiny streamer game sure are whooping it up telling POE 1 players to 'stop crying'.

These new POE 2 generation has nothing but contempt for what made the new streamer game even possible.

GGG, you lied and deceived us. Now we know how Jonathon treats us and disrespects us.

Except many of those speaking against the doomers are PoE veterans who either enjoy Poe2, or see the overreaction of the vocal minority and feel the need to interject with some common sense.

I mean, people seems to like poe2 more than poe1 so it's quite normal, I'm sure it's also more exciting for them to make poe2 than poe1.

That being said, I forced myself to play poe2 and I'm at a point where I just can't do it anymore. It's not my game, I don't like it, I tried soo hard but it's not my thing.

It's just my opinion but I just want to voice my disappointment and wish the best of luck to GGG for this project, it's time to say goodbye, everything comes to an end.

*big kiss

please no hate, just love

Damn, I just came back to PoE after bouncing from it in 2020-ish. I'm really enjoying myself and hope this won't diminish my amusement. PoE2 seems cool, but I've heard many folks saying it still doesn't hold a candle to 1. This seems... well, not great

Seems like a lot of liability to generate revenue for a product (PoE 2) based on promises of it's dedicated resources that wouldn't damage the preexisting product (PoE 1) or the allegedly separate dedicated resources. Sounds like a lot of POE1 players were manipulated by these claims for a cash grab.

PoE players provided all financial windfalls and investment to support GGG. It seems completely disingenuous that they are being exploited in favor of other groups that have not provided the longevity, finances or commitments to Path of Exile.

For legal reasons, can anyone at GGG provide contacts and addresses for correspondence with the FTC? I'd very much like to make a motion for discovery and a call for investigation into these practices. It would seem this is coinciding with the Tencent ownership of almost 90% of the company and their presence of 3 new board members on the GGG governing executive roster.

If anyone else has information or referring counsel, or would like to consider a class-action level process, please reach out.

Also worth noting is the statement around GGG from their CEO, refusing to use or recognize color-blindness models that have already collected millions of users sight data for accessibility, and instead claiming they'd rather "work with people with real disabilities" to allegedly conduct millions of hours of user tests to reinvent an already existing resource. As GGG can't presently manage their own two titles, how can they be trusted to develop for accessibility with integrity?
