Path of Exile. Spent probably thousands of hours in it for years. I even made my own home grown loot filter, not compatable with neversink's. I left after they kept trying to sneak archnemesis back into the game. Never liked the gamble crafting system, and it felt like every update made less and less builds viable in maps.

I still watch Chris Wilson's videos on YouTube though.

    Did not play PoE1 a lot, but I have like 500 hours in PoE2 and I love some of the mechanics (souls-y combat, skills and supports, visual style …). It took me a while to realize the fact that it’s basically a medieval fantasy themed casino, and that just made me not wanna play anymore. Just couldn’t believe the amount of gambling as you even just approach endgame.

    Edit: I also watch Chris Wilson’s videos on YouTube haha

    One time I made it to the tier16 maps by just following my intuition on a build and using loot I found. It was really fun!

    Then the chaos trial guy one-hit me when I missed a dodge, and I realized I'd need to get the key things again to redo the fight. Nope. It's been fun but I'm done.

    On subsequent patches, none of my characters have done quite as well. I also just can't figure out how to make ranger, monk, other ranger, go.
