So why would players still want to play 2?

Imagine if there is a world where you could play both. I personally think the games are becoming too much like each other. The original take on Poe 2 was that they were going to simplify the game a bit. I see that never happened.

Poe 1 is very unapproachable, i tried playing without following any guide before and it wasn't great, the lack of tutorials or directions is very evident, and this not done like in Breath of the Wild you know? Where the game is very intuitive for most people and you just know what you're supposed to do, in poe 1 it feels like there wasn't effort put into the new player experience

Poe 2 is not a masterpiece in that aspect but it's way better at being easy to get on

I also don't like how your character moves in poe 1, both visually and mechanically

WASD support, better animations, better minute-to-minute gameplay, not yet as overly bloated as POE 1. Many reasons, really.

Combat feels better, movement feels better, I can actually see what I'm fighting (most of the time), rather than one of us instantly getting deleted within a millisecond of the encounter and most of all: I don't need to dredge through 750 items every unique enemy kill.

Because poe1 server is not up for console so PoE2 it is.

As for me, better graphics.

This, also, poe2 is simpler and appeals more to casuals, who are ALWAYS the majority in any game. If someone new to poe tries poe1, will probably uninstall after 30 mins and looking at the 100000 pages of different "currencies/resources"

Because Poe 2's gameplay is light years ahead of Poe, which is already 13 years old... The content will be released just as it was for the first installment, which I thoroughly enjoyed until two years ago, when I was already fed up with the game. Poe 2 has restored my enthusiasm for the franchise, and I'm completely in love with it.
