Also, why are people leaving PoE?

RNG/orbs, high-end map and experience gain, melee vs range issues, 'path of life nodes' and degrading build diversity, desync, inflated economy, among others

but it's in the beta stage after all, hopefully people haven't left for good and are just taking a break, it would be silly otherwise since game is still young

First paragraph pretty much sums it up.

Second paragraph I have to disagree. The game has launched. This 'Beta' tag is a perfectly safe way to do so with an unfinished product and is becoming pretty much the industry standard for games of this type nowadays.

Free2Play model - make money from microtransactions - add new things to keep people playing/paying money - Keep the Beta tag so any issues can be explained by the one magic sentence 'its still in Beta'.

Unfortunately POE failed on the adding new things to keep people playing. No endgame content to keep hardcore players interested, despite that being their target audience.

New insulting microtransactions such as 'Let's give Rain of Arrows that green colour the bosses use, $10 please.' doesn't help either.

Excuse me here, but are you serious ?
Honestly I cant believe this comment. If Path of Exile is failing in endgame content then I really dont know what you expect from a ARPG.
This is a game with weekly updates. Of course, not every update can be a new act for you to enjoy, but they keep adding new items, balancing skills, new prizes for races, and so on.

People complaining about microtransactions ? Really ? So you are able to enjoy the game completely for free yet you find insulting the devs for trying a way to make money without taking the game into a p2w situation.

Its pretty clear to me, everytime I read the news or updates that GGG is working hard to deliver great content and I find their honesty refreshing, to say the least.

After the biggest letdown in history of ARPG that was D3 (sadly I had to name it), players having the chance to play POE feels almost like poetic justice.

And please, stop saying that people suddenly stop playing the game cause of the "endgame", orb mechanics, etc. I didnt run a poll with the community but Im sure that people also stop playing POE just because they simply get bored and move to other games or just taking a break.
