![]() ![]() Apologies in advance if this confuses some, it is the gift and the curse of a racing mind. I will do my best to produce a cohesive and clear narrative- however, at times the subject matter may bounce around as new topics or ideas come to me. Whatever outcome, if you have read this far- I hope that part of this document resonates with you, or improves your gaming experience in some way. However, I believe with an open-minded approach and willingness to alter certain pre held notions/beliefs/habits– many of the frustrations that are commonly echoed by the player base can be alleviated– and in many situations, a new passion and vigor for the game can be found. If it does not bring you joy regardless of what you do– it is time to walk away. I do not mean to preach, demean, or presume to tell any person what they should like or dislike- at the end of the day, it is a game. I believe this to be a matter of misunderstanding in large, and one that could be remedied not on the back end by developers or balance teams– but on an individual basis, by fundamentally rethinking the way one approaches this aspect of the game. ![]() It is through that lens in which I approach this document, my ambition being that I might impart some of the lessons I have learned through that time– and help demystify an aspect of this game that is oft (unfairly) demonized. As most people do over time, I gravitated towards an aspect of the game I had habitual success with and thereafter developed a passion for– and that is the economy. Through my time playing this game I have raced (even won a Demigod’s once believe it or not!), boss killed, speed farmed, min maxed, hideout-warriored- and everything in between. While that commentary may seem sad to some, I believe it is a testament to the product and it’s staying power not only to remain relevant– but to constantly evolve over the course of a decade. The relationship I have with this game is one of the longest standing in my life. In this time I have had several careers, ended two long term relationships, lived in five cities, and seen my fair share of ups and downs. The purpose of this website, to whatever extent it unfolds, is to share my thoughts, experiences, and advice for all things PoE– I have played this game since 2013, like many- transitioning from the Diablo Series and WoW- and never looking back.
