Yeah I'm not sure either. It is definitely an admirably-made game with lots of good ideas, challenge, and complexity. But at the end of the day it's just a grinder. The endgame players are running maps over and over, all day long, hoping to get some XP gains, currency, and the very rare item upgrade. And there's a challenge to what they're doing, but that challenge comes in the form of a .01% chance of dying, mostly if they do something extremely stupid, have a disconnect, or very rarely, actually get outplayed by the AI mobs. I don't know how they do it. Their dedication to a mostly pointless grind is not shared by this gamer. I'll play PoE for a bit longer, and then sporadically in the future, but soon enough I'll go back to a game like Dota where every match you play is "performance based" above all else.
