I don't mind the slower game-play, IF it was rewarding but it isn't. Imagine where you need to cast 3-5 different abilities just to clear white mobs, then you do that 100ish times as you slowly go through a map to then slowly kill a boss, play for 2 hours and get a single upgrade that you likely bought from a vendor. Meta builds if you want to play one make the game much faster and bearable however those builds don't negate the ongoing issues for POE2.

Right now this game doesn't know what it wants to be.
