Alright, so ignoring the issues with audio quality, let me touch on some points. Apologies if i didn't hear something correctly. First: lore. It's actually really deep, and i personally disagree with the cinematic point. GGG takes a from soft style approach. If you want lore you have to look for it. In the environment, in item descriptions, in dialogue. A lot of those is because players simply won't read it anyways, so why force it? For example, labyrinth. Izaro is impotent. Needing a successor and inspired by ancient Azmeri, he constructed the labyrinth and declared anyone who completed it to be his heir. Chitus Perandus did so successfully, and on ascending to the throne, threw Izaro into this own labyrinth. Yes, Poe isn't new player friendly. This is a common and valid complaint. That said however, the biggest issue with these complaints is that PoE is supposed to be about discovery. You're first build or so isn't supposed to be good. Maybe you won't even manage the campaign. But you learn, make another, and bit by bit it falls into place. Many new players assume they can just boot up the game and breeze through and tackle end-game content. But that simply isn't the case with PoE. Pinnacle and Uber content is supposed to be things that only a handful of people even get to. As far as micro transactions go. Yes, stash tabs are almost necessary for end-game. That said, they are not actually required, and the game is free. There's a stash tab sale every weekend. By the time you recognize you need tabs, i'd argue it's earned the 10$. That said, poe just isn't for everyone. You have to spend time with each mechanic to figure out how it works and take it one step at a time. If you don't invest in defenses properly, it will absolutely punish you. The tl;dr: poe is a game where the more you invest in it, the richer it becomes. If you try to just blast through without much thought, it's going to punish you.

Yeah I understand your points, though with stashes I would prefer they actually released some of the content as add-ons to buy in the in-game store instead of this one. However if I did play this game when I was younger and had much more time on my hands it probably would hit me as a much more fun one than it currently is, just as you said.

For me biggest contender for PoE being not new player friendly is link colour & socket, i actually drop the game twice because of this with how limited your currency during early league/game.
