keith4282: POE's biggest problem is no Bex :(
evilme73: I don't think Affliction was just about the loot.
Affliction was fun for me mainly because of the extra talent trees and tinctures/TWWT. The underground stuff was kinda fun just because trying to get a super juicy one had you praying. Yes you were praying for big juice because it meant big loot too.. but even if that loot was more realistic I think trying to pump that number each map would've scratched an itch.
fvzi4861: TOTA was the most fun mechanic for me, I barely even touched maps that league and I hope it comes back so I can run it instead of sanctum
TheHonzai: Betrayal USED to be my favorite mechanic. It's been the 1 mechanic I found myself consistently running. It rewarded knowledge, wasn't extremely tediuos and had variety in the strategies you could run throughout the league. Early league, you could run for currency, talismans, veiled craft unlocks and then swap to the crafting mechanics later. However, with the changes from 3.24, it's only purpose in life that I can tell is pulling the gamba wheel on killing catarina for a veiled orb. They removed the ability to leverage knowledge to your advantage, which amplified the feeling of tediuom when engaging with the mechanic...

PoE has a lot of interesting league mechanics that always have some base of the more you know, the more you get. Unfortunately, I think they missed the mark on what made betrayal fun, which was understanding how to work the syndicate members to get what you wanted. I think there's a lot to discuss here, but I don't think I'll be able to present it succintly enough.
user-ts4mz3jy9i: Good points, man. POE has changed for me since I've become more busy (work). It's still my favourite game of all time but it's so demanding in terms of time I'm basically reduced to the level of a casual now. I'll just follow a build, not make my own, and I hope the league mechanic isn't too intrusive so I can skip it if I can't be bothered. I get this feeling now when I think of league start, like, "Do I go back into that world? It'll be fun, but it takes over for weeks. It's goodbye other hobbies, hello gamer degeneracy."
Tactiquilla: Basically any non crafting league, crafting leagues always break the game
guitaraholic: I came here for the rimming and I was not disappointed
minhocho5487: My favorite league mechanic is sanctum, tiral of the ancestors, synthesis and betrayal. I really like out of map experience since if I want to map, I can already.
Bovineicide: If you need a spreadsheet for a league mechanic, something is wrong
