What is actually wrong with you?

I've ignored your attempts to call me a liar, and insult me in various ways, and even when I make the effort to help you with something. You turn around and completely avoid the question, and continue to insult me.

You're really just here to fight, aren't you? You spend most of your day on these forums doing this. Last time I was here a few weeks ago, you got banned for this. Did you just ignore that, and assume no wrongdoing?

Dunning-Kruger he says. Oh the irony.

If you are not lying - present facts for your baseless claims.
But so far, you haven't and probably never will.

You don't know why I was on probation, but if you want... make things up again.

Uummm, for the moment. I simply quit cause there's no 32:9, not cause anything is far difficult. I would call the story of the game and playthrough quite good! End game needs "something", also quite long, but I guess alright?

But what the heck am I competing against that using 32:9 is considered actual cheating!? Am I looking across the table at someone elses work to copy it onto mine? Nah. Am I putting some kind of blockage into someone elses way to slow them down or beat them in some way? Nah, don't see that either. Am I giving myself some kind of boost over some other player? Seeing I'm not competing against anyone, nope. Am I somehow getting more loot than some other person maybe? Not that I know of, I mostly get junk. Do I clear a map faster? Doubt it, I'm not at all amongst the top players and don't care to be. Dang, what could it be?

How about this for cheating? I can only (and it's a must) play this game for a certain amount of hours on certain days, which gives me a certain amount of exp and skills of how to do things, amount of loot, gold, many other things etc...
Another player, maybe plays 14 hours (just a # I'm throwing out there) a day!? And on more days than I can ever do. This player, then, to me, has a CLEAR advantage over me. How is this, then, not considered cheating? (To NOT be cheating, all players have equality, in this case it's not at all possible, so clearly, no equality, and since there's no equality, someone's cheating) This player has clear advantages over others. Even over those who have a 32:9. Yet, the person who plays less, who worked to pay for a nice monitor, gets the penalty? Some things here are just messed up. But they don't think about that do they?
This game isn't even really all that competitive if you ask me. There's speed runs and that's it? Well, put whoever is doing speed runs in some other game bracket thing and let all others play how they like! geeze. Detect mods or whatever in the competitive side. Leave others alone?

I know precisely why. You were arguing on the forums and you got banned mid conversation. I saw it happen.

First of all, MOST ppl (and not "some") play trade and engage with it.
Secondly, everyone who is engaging in trade is competing with everyone else over items, resources, etc.

You don't need direct competition like it is in "team-based" games with a ladder and rank to climb to be competitive.
Furthermore, PoE has an official ladder and races too.

So, having way more information than someone else is an advantage.

i have a solution:

game locked to 16:9, 60fps, max screen size 27", no usb keyboards and mice (because of the possibility of macros), controller gets their own league, no third party software, max playtime set to 2 hours per day. (people with more time to play have a huge competitive advantage and this should be seen as cheating too)

on a serious note, everyone thinking that playing in 32:9 in this game should be considered cheating is completely out of their mind. gloating joy is the only reason to advocate for that and you should seek professional help if thats the case.

Come on, 60 fps is outright cheating, GGG should cap everyone's fps to the lowest fps player present in the given league:) We have serious competition here you know.

I have to write serious and detailed posts about this because white knights tend to latch on words to downplay and personally attack you, stretching "advantage" to an extreme.

I wonder how long it will take ppl to understand the difference between "performance advantage" and "information advantage".
You know, only one can be monitored (pun not intended) by GGG.

3rd party trading software is a massive information advantage due to price checking alone, it formally breaks ToS, yet it isn't monitored or enforced in any way. And not a single post from you about unfair competitive advantage. Instead we hunt a few pesky UW users by axing FOV for everyone.
