Is the problem Jonathan?

On the whole "sequels should replace the old game" thing - yeah, I think GGG kinda faceplanted on the naming.

Calling it "Path of Exile 2" basically screams "this is PoE1 but newer, bigger, better". That's what the number does. It's like slapping "2" on a microwave and acting surprised people expect it to still heat pizza the same way, just faster. If the intent was "new direction, new pace, new combat philosophy", they should've named it something that signals that up front, not a title that implies a direct upgrade path.

I honestly would not have any problem with Path of Exile 2 if it:

1. Came out with a different name: Why take the Path of Exile name if you wish to do it so drastically different than Path of Exile? It's like callng Call of Duty 2 but it's actually a mil-sim game compared to arcade Call of Duty. This stinks. Call it whatever else if you are so confident of going your own way, highly deviating from the original game. Call your game "Darkness of Wraeclast" or something @Johnathon.

2. If Path of Exile 2 didn't affect Path of Exile: It's evident, PoE2 have been sucking on PoE's revenue for years, used up $100m to develop, directly gave us a 11-month maintenance mode because it's busy launching, then 2 half-baked leagues, and zero prospect of future support.

Jonathan himself is only one part of the whole issue with the game. I am tempering my feelings with "path of exile 1 is still there, and playable" and "this is early access, it's supposed to be jank". However, i've already touched on a few... egregious topics already just in the past month.

Some of players around here act as fanatical "cult" members. Can not take right criticism. Can not take right "arguments".

Well, you know what happens to cults? They get obsolete because something more "hype" appears.

Stop arguing like kids, keyboard warriors. Go outside, get fresh air in your body. Stop arguing who is the problem. I DO NOT CARE !

This game is somewhat "fun". But it's unbalanced to a point that is unplayable and frustrating to "play" the same thing every time, hoping you get some what "better". It's not funny anymore.

A toxic community to an unfinished game...wow guess what will happen by the release of the game... Some people are ready to kill if Devs change the rules!
