No, I like my work, but it's work, real life has real consequences... this is a game lol.

For real, some people act like this design is sacrosanct & as if it's not part of a game for FUN.

Further - jobs generally don't make you start your whole shift again for a split second mistake, with no compensation. That would be closer to slavery in my view.

The problem is, that ppl don't understand the "work" comparison and even more important - that "FUN" means something different to everyone.

To the work comparison:
If you make a mistake at work, small or big doesn't matter, that has big consequences as a result - you are screwed.
If you make a mistake in PoE, small or big doesn't matter, that has big consequences as a result - you are screwed.

In PoE - you lose your 10% exp.
At work, well... you can lose something way more important.
So you only have insignificant consequences in the game compared to real life; they won't harm you irl thus they are just a small challenge.

This is connected to the "FUN" part too because you probably don't want these kinds of consequences in a game you play for "FUN", but these consequences can be "FUN" for other ppl. So you would advocate to remove their "FUN" because it's not your way of having "FUN".

That can be viewed as hostile. Going somewhere and demanding it to change because it's not your definition of "FUN" while ppl have fun with it.

If ppl really want a "softer-softcore" version of the game - I don't mind if GGG gives them their separate league, but changing the base game into that, nah thanks.

Request for slightly less punishing mechanics in early access game:

You just want literally everything handed to you for free

We can't have any old smelly casual gamer hitting the level cap, what would the neighbours think?

-Group- these days just wants X (where X isn't at all what the people were asking for, and the -group- is basically someone they feel superior to)

What it is, is 15 pages of absurdity, terrible analogies about real life/workplace scenarios and unwillingness to compromise.

It's too silly, I'm out.

You're right XP loss is silly. I'm out until GGG finds a good compromise.

Punishment leads to people quitting the game, not retention. You'd think player retention would a top priority especially with microtransactions but it sounds like GGG is giving more credence to the masochist player base (which is a minority player base)

+1. Asking that our time not be wasted is like an apocalyptic scenario to these types, as if we're asking for the game to play itself.

thats what you are asking when you want no xp penalty.

You want a participation trophy.

It's called, an exchange as thanks for spending valuable time. I'm fine with the 4 other layers of penalty for dying.

Well its not happening so you can play something else.

You'd have better luck removing the gobo band.


Which is also not happening.

This video may help.
