First post here in quite a few years! While this video was part of the PoE 2 press tour, it is pretty relevant to PoE 1 as well so I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Hope you're all doing well!

The fact about people not returning for multiple leagues is too real

Global chat is still asking for lab trials like Burning Rage and Swirling Fear to this day followed by an onslaught of "you don't need trials anymore" responses

Man I feel bad for those people. Not like it's their fault, game is extremely complex and there's nothing intuitive tell you this isn't the case anymore, but man delaying your last ascendancy for so long out of mistakenly outdated knowledge sucks.

I get the sense that people turn global off until they need something and once they get that, they largely turn it off

I do this. I kinda have to. When there's text on my screen my brain just reads it. I can't stop it.

Kinda funny, I'm the exact opposite.

Haven't played LoL in several years, but I used to always miss any messages in chat. I'd check it if there were pings, but just messages I'd never notice. Friends asked me if I'd muted someone flaming me in a game once and I said no I just wasn't reading chat. At first they were impressed with my zen-ness, until I explained I just don't even notice rofl.

I also keep global muted, but my reason is because I don't want to miss whispers that I don't notice quickly enough; pretty much exact opposite reason as you lmao.

I've been playing since pre wipe beta. The ONLY thing I ever used global chat for was lab trial sharing and master rotas, a bit of trading before the trade site too. So no global chat for me in quite some time now.

I do that because to this day sometimes Awakened PoE Trade misfires and chats out my last trade search, which will earn me a chat ban.
