GGG's Balance Team is a Laughing Stock

Have to disagree. When I started very few builds could do end game. No self casters first off. Now we have self casters, miners, trappers, totems, bow users, melee attckers and yes so-called OP CoC all doing uber.

THey just kept giving us power so almost everything can succeed. Problem is 99% of game is too easy.

Game is more balanced than ever. But more god mode than ever too. I feel bad for monsters if thats what you mean by imbalanced.

GGG could fix most whining (too hard or too easy) with a difficulty slider.

Do you read all the comments? Look at the facebook, the forums here, or reddit. The balance team is subject to mockery for their incompetence and asinine balance changes. And honestly, it's been getting worse and worse.

The whining... all the whining. "WHY CAN'T I DO END GAME?!"

Every multiplayer grinding game has end game content that is gated behind skill, invested time, or a combination of both. This game is no different. People need to stop viewing level 100 as something they are entitled to achieve. People need to stop viewing top tier maps / uber whatever as something they are entitled to achieve. People with more time to invest than you, will achieve more than you in pretty much every aspect of life. If you only have 45 minutes a day to play PoE, you're obviously not going to be able to achieve as much in the game as someone that streams it or plays if for 4-8 hours per day. Assuming that you SHOULD be able to is entitlement at it's most absurd level.

I enjoy PoE. I have a family, own my own business, and want to do other things with my free time than simply play PoE, and I play on average 45 minutes to an hour per day. I understand that this means I might never hit level 100. I'm ok with that. It doesn't make the game any less enjoyable for me. Someone that hits level 100 in a week probably put 20 hours per day of gaming in to do it. If that makes them happy, all the power to them. I'm not entitled to reach level 100 without the same investment as the other more invested gamer.

I need to "achieve" access to a Red Map that I can steamroll anyways, if GGG has provided me with (since 2.0 when Red Maps were released) Tree Node Updates, Jewels, 289275092475824 "More" Multiplier Support Gems, temp league bait OP items, and 8 Ascendancy Points?

Fucking please LOL

Power Creep has done a lot for this game in terms of relative player strength and content "challenge."

Also don't lump this argument in with Level 100, there is a small relation but the subgroup of people who are just fucking bored to the subgroup who wants 100 only contains a minor overlap.

Before criticizing my post, please understand:

- I can sustain Red Maps np, this is not the issue.
- I'm actively trying to get 100 in this patch, and will probably get it within the next two days.
- At no point did I say I wanted GGG to give me 100, but instead I wanted to feel rewarded for doing Red Maps (that the general populous has issues acquiring).
- I currently do not feel rewarded for doing Red Maps, as I can load up Gorges/Plateaus and get basically the same returns in term of XP, in most cases faster if you consider the Shipyard/Excavation style tilesets to more linear maps.
- I understand the time commitment required and agreed to it. Anecdotal stories about your real life are irrelevant to the conversation and to me.

I am so glad that most new players do not come to the forums to read poison like this.

Dont blame the whiners, blame GGG for giving them stuff to whine about. If they did what they had to do and make the game balanced and not full of bugs instead of releasing new shit over the unfixed new shit from last patch/expention , people would be playing instead of being on the forums

When they nerf Coc to the ground in all possible ways, half the player base is going to think it's the best thing since sliced bread, the other half is going to threaten to quit the game.

Sounds balanced to me, hmm?

However, as this discussion is proof of, there is not one single agreement on how the game should be balanced, and most of the arguments are not about balance, but about future direction of the game...

So GGG should tell us about future direction in this game.
