I have over 1600 hours in the game. Probably more because that's just the hours I have through steam. Now, that's nothing compared to some of the dedicated streamers, but compared to the average player it's an insane amount of time.

Furthermore I've literally only ever quit one game because it doesn't respect the Player's time enough and that game was Lost Ark. So when I say that the recent changes and the indication for the sort of changes that are coming with 3.20 have managed to put this game on a path to respecting your time *less* than Lost Ark, maybe that's your cue to go check out Last Epoch, Undecember, Torchlight, or literally any other ARPG other than this one. Personally, I've been putting time into Last Epoch when I need to itch the ARPG scratch. That used to be PoE. It will no longer be PoE and without serious changes in the mindset from the devs, I'll probably never touch this game again.

I wouldn't say completely don't play this game, as there's still *some* fun left in it, if you're a new player. But I would say don't spend a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ penny on this game and also you need to expect that it's going to require unreasonable time investments for your builds to come to fruition.
