Too much going on. It's like they've just accepted and (mostly) implemented every single feature request they ever got without necessarily thinking about how it should work with all the other stuff.

I played PoE for a good few years around its release and had a lot of fun initially with the temporary hardcore leagues with new mechanics every time, but there is a good reason I haven't come back to the game - and it's not just that I'm kind of over the ARPG thing. Scope Creep has turned it into a convoluted mess to get back into if you're been out of the game for a while (or never played it) and I say that as someone who typically enjoys complexity.
