Solid points by the OP. I couldn't have formulated it better myself, I completely agree and it's a sad development. Sacrificing core values in favor of corporative money.

To the devs at GGG, thank you very much for all your hard work over the years. I don't begrudge you the many hundreds of dollars I've pumped into this game one bit: You have earned every penny of it. And I expect that your current business strategy will be perfectly viable: You'll continue to suck in new players who will buy stash tabs. While I don't consider this the best way to create and maintain a good game, I do acknowledge that it is a way to create and maintain an effective business.
I wish you the best of luck in the future with your business.
beside your other points, with which i totaly agree and forced me finaly to uninstall the game, this is something many dont think off. and i realy hope GGG isnt shooting in their own food with this behaviour. its hard to maintain audience, sure, but are some people worth to loose many long time players and supporters?

trust me they are not even doing much effort to retain new players either from the 3 weeks here so far I saw 1-2 patches and nothing big enough (okay maybe the syndicate intervension less lag bs but there's still reports about it) to make the league mechanic less annoying or frustrating only microtransactions..
this game is good BUT lacks more QoL changes such as more space for f2p players you can't tell new players to stop picking loot in any ARPG game just because you have to use your wallet to enjoy the genere.. it's disgusting and shady as company.
then I saw the entire of the guy wilson on that convention and clearly they only care about numbers, doesnt seems he's worried about players feedback or f2p players experience at all so long the money keeps rolling in and a "thank you for your support" is all life and peachy.

its still a company with a, kinda, succesfull business model, so i dont blame for this. but sometimes it realy seems they care more about the state of new MTX than the state of the game.
wondering where the "systhesis numbers" are. only looking at twitch, where nearly no bigger streamer is playing poe anymore, i am curious how the numbers look like, and if the self-shooting maybe already have started. we had a similar situation during bestiary for example, but this time it realy gets me, and makes me frustrated and angry at the same time, since it seems they dont even know (or care?) what all the problems are.

“Shitthesis numbers” are not that important. There will be tragic dropdown in second month of the league, that's why they decided to release "turmoil", although they wrote earlier that they would not do such things anymore. This will solve at least problem with “numbers”.
Besides, they will be high enough due to release console version. Crucial are “financial numbers” though. If the financial results are proportionately worse in terms of the number of players, then they will have a problem. That would be beneficial for the players, because maybe they would stop issuing shit. If money will be ok, then… well, you can expect other leagues like this.

ok see you next league. :D
My end, it justifies my means,
All I ever do is delay,
My every attempt to evade,
The end of the road
And my end....

You love it, you start hating it, you uninstall, you come back after a year and love it again.
People get burnt out and are trying to come up with a reasons why they don't want to play anymore.
