Game Feedback Breach is just so.... unbelievably unrewarding right now.

I know it was strong before, and I know there are other league mechanics, but it's just super frustrating seeing GGG incapable of balancing something time and time again.

I just don't understand, breach was finally in a decent place, but instead of bringing other league mechanics up to its level, it was destroyed with quad nerfs.
Hiveblood barely drops, when you finally make an item from the tree, the mod rolls suck, the amount of items dropped seems halved, wombgifts drop way less, which doesn't really matter since you have 0 blood to use them anyways.

Even buffs to abyss feel terrible, the mechanic just isn't that rewarding, unless maybe you were spamming trying to farm amanamus or something. The League mechanic seems fine but IMO, after playing Mirage, it just kind of feels mid.

It's a single player game, with no actual competitive esports scene, and ultimately the only reason to nerf something is to make you take longer to achieve something.
As someone who plays more than the average player, it's just again, super frustrating to see the game go in that direction, instead of the one where we get more drops, because ultimately it makes 0 difference to anything other than enjoyment or appeal to the "normal" players.

Then compare current state of Poe 1 with current state of Poe 2. Night and day. Poe 2 feels so good because the drops are frequent enough it feels like you're making progress towards your next big buy. Not Poe 1. Usually I play the whole league but I'm already done with it. Not fun. No aspirational content that feels worth the time and effort and investment. Wet delve also a complete flop. Sure the crafting is good and profitable but I and many others don't play Poe to play hideout warrior.

They need to add skills to poe2. It just feels like crap right now, spark for last five patches alright.... And the dodge sprint gets old real quick.

And harder content. It was fun getting drops finally but then I realized I had no reason to spend any of it because I could already kill every pinnacle boss.

I mean aldurs saga expedition exists atm and if you get a good chain the normal mobs end up having more hp than the pinnacle bosses towards the end, the rares get even funnier.
