Most people who play path of exiles solo it so idk if this is an mmo the most interaction you have with other players is trading items with them.
Take that with a grain of salt I haven't played in 5+ years might have changed.
What I do know is this scared me from bothering to go back I am to lazy to learn all this
The game is very complex but in that complexity lies the beauty of a myriad of builds. The theory crafting is a game in itself. I have spent hours just watching players make their builds and see them come to live. Some of the ideas are born from sheer brilliance and many never even thought of by the developers. Gems used in ways that unfortunately had to patched out sadly.
One of the things you can definitely say about this game is that the time invested in learning to play it and then seeing it work as you go through the acts and maps is fun and rewarding.

It went against their vision. Pretty much every build that was showcased on the official "Build of the Week" page intentionally no longer functions. They give you so many ways to be creative and then destroy it and nerf it to oblivion after you actually create something special.
They claim it's for balance but meanwhile a lot of cookie cutter builds which aren't really that creative or unique continue to overpower and overshadow everything else league after league, and whenever the developers decide to nerf those cookie cutter builds, they do so with global nerfs that affect EVERY build so EVERYONE gets weaker and those cookie cutter builds thus are STILL the most overpowered compared to everything else anyways!
Recap on Path of Exile play, staff and community in 2024 is simply this: Game play is ok but has too many options/paths for a build with confusing & pointless stats in gear & accessories that make building and game play bad, specially End game playing.
STAFF of GGG (was TenCent) is simply this: The GM's are abusive with muting & banning ppl for minor little things, (Unless your a real old paying player) then it is ok for them to troll/give wrong info & abuse new players causing them to not want play the game at all.
Reporting abuse to a GM on old players only get you muted for simple little things that DO NOT break the TOS, because if it did they would mute all the players who constantly troll/abuse new players making new ppl not want to bother playing PoE at all.
NOW the Crux of the matter, Community simply is this: Everything I explained above about players being abusive above is just a fraction of the horror that is PoE, asking a question or asking for help with making a build result's in being given false information that makes it harder for you to play/build a character, they give info like PoE.ninja which does not help you, they give fake/trash 3rd party program & websites for build's & filters that do not work & waste your time. But I regress, GGG (was tenCent) does not care about any of that, but if you are new & have ANY kind of opinion/concern trying to help new players you are muted for any little thing as I was muted for 10066 days for my warning of reddit being bad information as I discovered by trying to use it for many things & find only hatefulness/trolling & wrong information. I tend to be bluntly honest but I never do it in a way that breaks any TOS as they claim it does.. If THAT breaks the TOS then why are ppl allowed to cuss at ppl, insult ppl and troll/abuse give wrong info to ppl messing them up & making them unwelcome??
As toxic chat goes, PoE is worse then WoW (World of Warcraft) LoL (League of legends) combined x 1000 because the GM does not seem to care that they are destroying PoE making there PoE 2 a real waste!
