I would like to just counter a couple things:
-
The itemization in LE is probably the best of any ARPG currently available
-
Comparing LE while still in EA to the endgame of POE that has had probably close to 20 updates is flat out idiotic.
-
Personally I thin Monoliths are a fantastic end game foundation. To be honest I sort of wish APRGs would move away from “engame” entirely and just have “content” in many different forms that lasts the entire game.
