POE2 Feedback: I hope GGG avoids turning POE2 into POE1 with a fresh coat of paint down the line.

Just from reading feedback about the beta, I feel like a lot of people are asking for changes that, even if they don’t realize it, would make POE2 more like POE1. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of valid feedback, and the game definitely needs adjustments. But I keep seeing suggestions for changes that feel like they’d slowly turn POE2 into POE1 with a new look.

For example, I sometimes see people asking for POE1 loot explosions, POE1 mobility, change the passive tree to be more like POE1, etc. Of course there's a middle ground to all this though.

It’s not everyone, but I think some people who don’t like certain systems in POE2 might just want POE1 with some tweaks. I really hope POE2 can stay its own thing instead of going backward as GGG intends.

Anyways just rambling. I have no doubts that GGG will handle it well like they did with POE1.
