go play diablo 3. PoE is not a game for you.

If this game lost a player for every time that sentence was posted on this forum. The game would be dead in the water. People here like to complain about casual entitlement but to me there is nothing more self entitled than someone who thinks that playing a game makes them a better person than someone who chooses to play a different game. Better yet. People who think that not having any issue grinding for hours on end to get nothing in return makes them more skilled and more "hardcore".

Its not that , its just people cant understand the meaning of "end game gear". End game gear means that there isnt better than that. There is crap gear , there is mediocre gear , there is good gear and optional best in slot gear "end game". Everyone who complain about currency requirment for end game craft such a 6L , want to accomplish that in about 1-2 hours playtime in a weekend.

In a few words they want BiS gear in 1 weekend.

In a competitive game you dont want everyone with BiS gear. I surely dont. Cause whats the word "competition" mean? Means that , for the time you invest in the game you demand better gear for yourself than others. If you dont have much time to invest , accept the fact that you are a casual player who cant be competitive with others who invest 4x or more time than you and might dont get "end game gear" ever.

If those players want end game gear in a weekend its not us that we want to be called "skilled" or "hardcore" players , its just them having different desires in a competitive game. Accept the fact that you are casual and enjoy the game as is whitout much of drama.

Edit: And game is more alive than anytime. POE has more viewers than D3 in twitch about 2 weeks now , so i guess all this whinning is from D3 lolplayers. And if you think i am putting drama , go check D3 forums to see all these " Buff my skills!! " " Nerf mobs damage!!" " I am dying too much!! Bring back life leech so i can one button afk T6!! " crap threads. Same thing we living with 6L drama.

The point I was trying to get across was having a shit-eating attitude like "go play d3 you filthy causual" when people try to express their concerns just hurts games and their communities. I never said POE was dead. I said IF a player left everytime some asshole on the internet told them "you should go play d3.this game isnt for you" THEN the game would be dead. Luckily for us and the sake of the game and it's future people dont. I can tell you went so far as to look through my post history for something to argue about though. Thanks for being a contributing member of the community. But if you insist for arguements sake. How well am I doing in your made up competion (i say made up because GGG's competion is xp based not gear base) compared to you? How much better or worse is your gear compared to mine? Oh wait. Unless I purposefully post it here you can't tell.

Its chain reaction , if you dont have good gear you are forced to farm for better. If you dont have good gear you cant move further and if you cant move further to higher lvl maps you get penalty and slow xp for farming low lvl areas with result to stay back on the ladder.
