See, the problem with what you're saying is that it targets the top end—but this has always been a recurring issue with Path of Exile. They constantly focus on the top-performing builds while neglecting the bottom, and it takes multiple leagues or updates before we see any meaningful changes for the rest of the playerbase.
If 95% of players are using just a handful of builds, then why did the patch notes only include a few buffs buried under a mountain of nerfs? You could argue they’re saving the buffs for the actual update launch, but let’s be honest—we know that’s not true.
The number of content creators who go out of their way to borderline shill while ignoring this simple fact is always frustrating to me. You know damn well you could put that same energy into calling out these inconsistencies, and the game would genuinely improve. But obviously, it’s in your best interest to stay positive—because when there’s no pushback, it makes for a more "positive" stream environment and, of course, that’s better for your income.
At the end of the day, I’m going to crush every bit of content regardless, because I’m seasoned enough in the game. But I’m always frustrated by this mentality from creators—that we should be happy with a mountain of nerfs and almost no buffs, even when there are clearly things that needed help. It's honestly impossible for anyone in the Path of Exile community to not gaslight well except ben i guess
Just letting you guys know that the @Fightincowboy Twitter and Discord are compromised. He unfortunately got hacked, and while I'm not going to say who's obviously the culprit for this behavior, just pointing it out for you guys.
