    What do you think is the reason for such a large overlap between those two franchises and EVE?

      As someone who has lost friends to both PoE and EVE I think the overlap is spreadsheets.

        That's probably basically right, but I would word it "emphasis on efficient grinding"

          And also graphics cards.

          As Marx wrote in his 1843 manuscript, Zur Kritik der Hegelschen Rechtsphilosophie

          Runescape is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

        mood

        I spent an hour in an out of game build planner trying to figure out how to upgrade damage while staying resistance capped, and then only had 20 raw chaos left, so I looked at currency exchanges.

        Oh, tabula is going for 5c, but if I vendor those I they become 10c divines!

        Then I realized if you swap some of the jargon around I could be talking about any number of Maximally Efficient Grinders.
