In two weeks PoE will have less STEAM players than at the end of last leagues

I quit because the end game isn't that interesting. Everything is a bit too much on the extreme RNG side. Solo/Self found is hardly viable and trading a pain. Kinda unrewarding to play and kill monsters, better off sitting in town flipping. Economy holds more importance than fun.

I don't mean to hate on them, I think that they are awesome game developers but after a while of playing (over a year), it's just not that fun anymore.

g) SotV is a very expert-level expansion. I felt the game needed more end-game content

You heard it here first, folks. City of Sarn is endgame content.

Well, actually you read it on reddit first.

That's funny where does it say sarn is end game in that sentence ? Maybe you have severe delusional dyslexia ?

People's obsession with whether games are "dying" is such a fascinating phenomenon. I'd like to write a paper on it some day.

I mean, I can understand people having issues with individual PoE leagues losing players. That makes progression in gear more difficult, particularly in Hardcore leagues.

People seem to be very passionate about the game. Even if it's tsundere pashion, it's still a good sign for GGG that people actually care a lot for their game.

Btw requesting a good English word for tsundere, I feel stupid using it outside of anime topics. Any suggestions, Charan?

tsundere is a relatively recent phenom and I avoid it, even though I've written extensively on one of its most known sources, Evangelion.

I don't believe we're looking at a tsundere situation here. For those unaware, tsundere is a Japanese portmanteau of 'tsun tsun' (to turn from something in disgust) and 'dere dere' (to be overly affectionate). So it basically means someone who's cold and unreceptive at first but gradually warms to something and eventually 'loves' it. The only reason you'd invoke tsundere here is because so many of these vociferous trolls seem to have a love/hate relationship with the game and with GGG.

But that's it. What's really happened is people initially love the game, because there's a lot to love, but as they play, more and more flaws reveal themselves. Unfortunately, the game is just good enough that they keep playing despite that. If it were just a bad game, they could move on. It's not. It's a lot more complicated than that. It's a potentially amazing game held back by a number of weaknesses, none of which I need to name here.

So what then happens is all that love and hope *very quickly* sours. Typically it's not that gradual, although some people take longer to hit that threshold than others. And when it sours, then the only recourse is to justify all that. It's not enough to just fall out of love with something, especially not when others still clearly love it. You have to seriously make a scene about it. Explore thoroughly all the shit things this game has done to you. Implicitly (or for some trolls, explicitly) talk about how the game has made you feel.

So it's not tsundere. It's just a sense of betrayal. And hurt. And disappointment.

How people react to that speaks very loudly to their character. They might not stalk and torment an ex in real life, because they know a) that's illegal and b) he or she has feelings, but they'll gladly do it on here if the ex is a game. Nevermind that real feelings went into making that game, into keeping it going. It's just a game.

Yeah, right.

How often do you see posts like this prefaced with 'I love this game but'? That tells you everything you need to know. Try starting a conversation with a loved one in real life with that line and see how well it turns out. It immediately says 'I love you but I don't love you enough to put up with' whatever follows.

Which is fine, but don't pretend it's not going to turn into a fight. And don't pretend you're not the antagonist.

Maybe you should play the game? Then you'd know that farming CoS is the extent of the end-game content introduced with this expansion for everyone who doesn't RMT.
