The game isn't hard, you're just not good enough!
This has been a common theme on these forums. What do you think when you hear people say this? Seems kind of mean, but is it true? :BarbadosThinking:

most people on these forums are white knights whose sole purpose is to defend the game. They use regurgitated stupidity like "git gud" or "skill issue" almost without thought. What these mouth breathers fail to realize is poe2 is trying to cater to a newer audience that never played poe 1. There's no "skill" needed to be "good" in this game just a knowledge of how mechanics and game systems work.

Is the game hard? It can be if you dont understand what to do and unfortunately GGG makes almost zero attempt to explain it well to a newer playerbase. While the old poe1 elitists like to stroke their egos the uniformed mull through the game at their own pace or start to realize this game probably isnt for them. Its not wrong to say "hey its not for me" and move on to a different game instead of just getting frustrated. This game has a lot of problems and no matter how many bootlickers try to defend it, if its broken, then its broken.

I wouldnt put too much stock into what others are saying about the game, at the end of the day its what YOU think of the game and if its worth your time

Just buy the op weapon using RMT and this game becomes a cakewalk.

The game being hard and players not being good enough at the game are not mutually exclusive. I would say challenge and punishment is a great thing to have in a game, and most people complaining about THIS game are just whining about their dopamine being withheld and they actually should git gud.

Don't even install the game if you plan on RMT, takes ALL the fun out of it IMO.

It's true th, the game chooses not to hold your hand and I'm all for it.

Show don't tell.

And they show everything, you just need to piece it together. :praisesun:

More proof that PoE's fanbase is one of the most toxic out there. Good job.

It really isn't though. With all due respect when we see posts like 'im uninstalling till nerfs' how do you want people to react?

Honestly? I think they're people coming in from other games, like D4, to sow conflict. When these people choose a game, they become cult-like, and act like their game is the only game to be played.

It's nuts.

What I like is toxic and what you like isn't. Very fair discussion we're having. I feel so bad about myself.

K, seeing as y’all appropriating this without potentially knowing the real meaning in the DS community.

Git gud, is a term of endearment. If someone tells you that, who has already beaten the content they are simply stating two things
1. The solution is to try harder
2. They believe you can, by practicing

That’s really it lol not an insult to tell someone that, not saying anything is the insult, cos you don’t believe they can.

No, no, that would be the poe fanbase doing that to Diablo players for going on a decade now homie. Ya reap what ya sow.

Fact:
The game is hard.

I am just not geared enough.



Wait. Does that make the game easy then?

Fact:
The game is easy.

I am just not geared enough because I don't have enough skill to get good gear drops.

NAILED IT.
