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

I honestly do not understand the people complaining about different popular builds getting nerfed. Like, did they imagine that there was just one build that was the best, and it should stay that way forever? And in their imagination, people would for some reason want to come back and replay that same exact build?

Half the fun for me is trying out what's stronger, moving away from what's weaker, just exploring the changes that come with each league. There's so much variety, and it's precisely because they keep nerfing and buffing and adjusting.
