Game is in very bad state

After playing this league for 200-300 hours, I have to say the game is currently in a very, very bad state.
The economy is broken - that's not a secret, but what is really bad is that I haven't seen any attempt to do something about it. GGG is totally ignoring this, which is really troublesome.

Performance, lags, game crashes - I know the game is still in early access, but from what I found and read, it is more content-wise, not core mechanic-wise. Dying multiple times in the juiced map because the game had to restart a driver is "a nice experience," and the alternative is to switch to Vulkan and play in slideshow.

Visual clutter - this was mentioned many, many times, so I can hardly add anything new. I miss the old times from PoE1, when the forum was actually read by developers. Now I think they totally ignore this, as the mindset seems to be: "We developers know better." I think half of the team doesn't even play the game. I am a software developer myself, and I think it would be stupid of me not to listen to user feedback.

I don't know what happens, but if I am more excited about the new Diablo release than the new PoE2 release, something is really wrong.

This comes from somebody who started playing PoE1 in 2013 and usually doesn't rant in forums.

Or maybe I am playing this game wrong and should build a temple and just play the same temple over and over and over again until everything costs at least a mirror.

Goosebumps there tbh but there's nothing wrong if you like one game more than another one, perfomance n stuff will always be a problem for some (i still never had any playing on console) and it will always be even after full release.

you're not playing it wrong, mistake is to think it should be perfect on its alpha/beta state.

I'm quite hyped for d4 new season too tbh

Poe2 has been so on rails with skill choices that d4 might have more build freedom than it with the skill reworks lmao
