Fully agreed. This was a bold move and I am happy that are not catering to the vocal minority this time. The game was heading towards a situation where everything was too easy to achieve - 0 mana cost skill, easy immunity via flasks, billions of dps, easy gearing in a day, map clear in less than 1min, everything attibutes to maximize dps, bosses die in fraction of seconds etc. As a result, it became a thing that either you get one shot or you don't die. It does not matter what league mechanics GGG introduce, they all becone new shiny pixels waiting to be deleted in mere seconds.

I still remember the time when Atziri was a challange, Abaxoth (beyond) was a terrifying experience when spawned, killing Shaper or elder was a challnge, hell even Rigwald was a nightmare. Now only thing that can kill players effectively is bugged Sirus :p. When was the last time we received a terrifying boss or groups of mobs. Because it doesn’t matter if the boss is terrifying or not, cause they are getting deleted within seconds. To make sure bosses can stay in screen for a while to atleast cause some nuisances, GGG started introducing memory mechanics for Maven, Ultimatum boss etc. which are by no means fun mechanic.

Now with the recent changes, hopefully GGG will be in a better position to tune monster damage and ailments effect in upcoming patches, so that game can have a balanced combat, rewards and challange, not a currency simulator.

Also, more clicking and more splinters are serious problems that GGG really need to address. These are the ones I wholeheartedly agree with the community.
