Poe is a bad game, and ggg hates their players.
Its filled with shitty interface designed to waste your time, and make you click unreasonable amount, while they sell autolootbot on chink client. They added AH in western version, after it was a thing on chink client forever. Whole design is around making p2w features, and removing them from western version of the game, which makes it extremely awful to play. Bugs which benefit players are fixed instantly, while some bossfights are never fixed since their release years ago. They claim that its impossible to find someone to add a slot to a stash tab slot (for a paid stash tab) for over a year, because they are small indie company, they just dont have the resources for that. All while releasing multiple new specialized stash tabs for sale.
And they admitted that they design the game to kill players at random because they think its funny. Players can die at random, for invisible reasons, all the time. And game looks like utter shit when you play it, screen is filled with color vomit, and its impossible to tell what is going on.
GGG are extremely incompetent devs, which often claim that something is impossible, until they hire an actual coder, which fixes their shit for them, until they invent more problems for themselves. Game is riddled with technical debt and their philosophy is to release new content, without fixing the old content, because it makes more money that way. The only time they release QOL updates, is when people stop playing completely, due to unplayable state of the game, so they bribe players with features with QOL.
>we dont care about player numbers, at all.
>we are proud of our player numbers, its going great!
And each new announce they claim that they will fix all the problems in the game, every single fucking time. They fill trailers with "we buffing everything!" while they dont mention how they quadrupling monster damage and health, and nerfing drops.
>you just imagining low droprate, its the same as it always was! Stop pretending to have bad loot!
>we doubled droprate because you complained so much, you fucking whiners! but we still claim that the loot was fine before!
>we doubled it again, fuck you we hate you! Go back and play!
>loot is doing fine because some guy got 80 orbs (of expensive currency which normally drops as 1 max) from a single mob!
They dont know how their own game works, they make changes to it at random.
>game was bugged and players dealt less damage with X skill, we fixed the bug and lowered player damage accordingly, so now its intentional
I can spend hours ranting about why you should never play path of exile.
