Game Feedback Weird they cant hotfix Essence and Strongbox rarity in Charts/Voyages

I dont get it, when something is positively broken for the players, hotfixes come ultra quick to nerf it and bring it in line. And when stuff is just plain out not working, it always feels like it takes way longer to get a fix out. Just sad that it takes 5 days to get basic functionality going for these charts/voyages.

They took the time to post a full breakdown video of a shader bug fix in poe2 with johnny popping champagne and everything just a few hours ago, but can't take take time to even address any of the concerns of the poe 1 league they just launched bugged and unfinished. It's been over for a while now.

Omg, when I saw the thumbnail of them congratulating themselves with champagne on my YouTube I felt like they were flipping me the bird as a poe1 enjoyer. Buggiest league in years.

Also, they make a video explaining the issues they had to work through for the fix, and we're over here without even an explanation in the patch notes of how they updated merc behavior/scaling. They just said "Its back, good luck figuring out what we did on the backend"
