I was thinking to reply ith a snarky and very long answer. Then i rethought that and say this:
Currently Last Epoch is probably the only ARPG out there that caters the playerbase instead of following internal, mostly money driven visions of something that might be profitable but basically turns everything else into another job instead of delivering an enjoyable gaming environment for the customers.
So i pretty much disagree with everything you said - and believe me i am everything but a FanBoi
