exquisite

Holy shit, you're truly ignorant. I have a feeling that you haven't played PoE or even watched the streams if you say that it's artstyle isn't exquisite, I understand that the artstyle might seem a bit too cruel, dark and grimm and you don't like that, but seriously to call PoE's artstyle ugly af is just wrong. It really has the most unique and original artstyle I've ever seen in MMO/ARPG w/e.

I started playing PoE few weeks ago after I had tried it for few hours almost couple years ago. First time I quit cuz, I got bored following guides to make "the best build". On the second time I just chose a class what I wanted and started to build how I wanted w/o guides and shit. Got to the end game and did some of the hardest maps, you really don't have to follow the meta builds and shit, which means you don't have to make your character 1-2 spell wonder if you don't want to.

PoE is the most well made ARPG out there atm and it's the only one which gives the player all of the power and is very well balanced overall. It's fine you don't like it, but man you really can't give any valid argument on why it's bad.
