I will try to stay factual and calm.

This league finally did something right. It gave players a mechanic that was fun, engaging, and personal. Building the Temple took time, planning, and effort, especially during the Christmas and New Year holidays when many people invested entire weekends into it.

Yes, the loot was strong.
Yes, some people were printing currency.

But instead of tuning numbers or fixing abuse cases, the solution was simply to make the Temple nearly impossible to build.

Players who already finished their Temples keep farming them with only slightly reduced loot. Everyone else effectively lost access to the core league mechanic.

So the result is not balance. It is punishing late or casual players while rewarding early grinders.

What makes this worse is the irony. We were told that leagues would not be nerfed mid-league. Apparently that promise lasts only until players start enjoying themselves.

The Temple was not just profitable. It felt cozy. Something you built yourself, not just another map to rush through. For once, PoE offered something more than endless mapping, and it was removed in practice.

This is not about free loot.
It is about respect for player time.

Killing a league mechanic instead of adjusting it, especially during holidays, sends a very clear message.

And after this patch, there is simply no more trust in the developers.

Bad take. These patches have almost no effect on those that exploited Holten and are an enormous hinderance to those trying to build their temple now.

Those that took advantage of Holten have their temples built, they get less currency, sure, but they are built and stable and get the necessary locks and have the level 3 rooms. This means instead of getting 50-100 divs or more, they get 10-30 divs per run, while everyone else is stuck spending 200 or more hours trying to build theirs, if it is even possible just trying to keep up with the market.

This creates a currency gap where rich get richer, and casuals are stuck. This isn't difficult to comprehend.

they wont get it cause they never interactet withe the mech. so just shrug on this trolls :)

The fact you think people getting 10-30 divs per run is ok is the problem. i agree they didn't go far enough. should of wiped everyone's temple who used the exploit.

I rarely post on here, and I wasn't even a temple farmer, but now the league is just dead cause y'all pissed everyone off and now you can't even sell anything. The people with money quit from this patch and all the points quit when they got fomo from not following their favorite Creator fast enough. Now the people who were just doing their own thing are basically playing ssf now cause there's no one left to buy stuff.
