I used to think EVE Online was complicated. I was wrong.

Interesting comment. I have always gotten the impression EVE is that complicated. I never played despite my interest due to the supposed steep curve and the limited restrictions on PvP.

EVE Online's complexity is somewhat akin to a real-time stock market. Buying low; selling high. In contrast, POE's complexity is about min-maxing stats for higher through-put DPS without breaking your machine (because the Devs don't care if you fry your graphic card; be warned of the video. it's jooosy). Math is the common denominator in both. I feel more comfortable with the stock market side than the min-maxing.

Well, I'm glad the PoE guys are still working on their endless game, and it's cool that people enjoy it, but it really feels like they are just preying upon the whales that support the whole enterprise with in game purchases at this point. I'd love to see a breakdown of where their cash is coming from now, ie. a small percentage of players who spend thousands of dollars each, and much larger percentage of players who spend zero, along with a small chunk who have spent 5-40$ or so. If you look at the PoE forums, most of the posters have tags from a dozen different contribution packages. Addicts pay for long term games like this.

Yeah, but it keeps the game free so let the whales have their fun and GGG make some $$.

Tried to get back into the game the last couple leagues and I last maybe till just finishing the 2nd round in the Labyrinth and absolutely burnout. I'm too worried about screwing up my build, I'm alt-tabbing way to much to use the trade website, research builds, use that build-app (which is fairly impressive to be honest) and watch youtube videos the list goes on and I do not enjoy it. And way too many of these PoE players that post builds and tips use 1000 different abbreviations and terms I do not understand, which they never explain.

At first it really didn't do anything for me but then I watched the ZiggyD video which showcased more of the league and it really changed my mind. It's like Incusion and Betrayal got in to blender with Ocean's Eleven.

*ugh* So complicated. I'm sure the community will love it.
