      He’s LARPing. Elon replies to all of GGG’s tweets. Elon is paying a team of at least 4 people to play Path of Exile 2 for him and then brags about being a gamer to his sycophants on twitter. His character is position #3 on the Hardcore leaderboard because he pays people to play it 24/7.

          well they probably don’t have an incompetent dipshit stumbling into their account every time he gets high on k and wants the internet to love him.

          It’s the Hardcore leaderboard. In the the Hardcore mode of the game, if you die then your character is permanently dead. His account has had 2 characters die within top 100. His current character was created on January 18, so it took around 11 days of playing 24/7 to reach rank #3. Position #1 and #2 are probably characters older than 11 days. Position #1 and #2 also reached the experience cap this week, so it’s not possible for Elon’s boosted character to go higher than rank #3 now.

              Those characters can retire for now, but even if they die they retain that position on the ladder because they reached the cap.

              Path of Exile 2 will follow a ladder reset design similar to Path of Exile or Diablo 2 or other ARPGs. When a new major patch comes out, there is a game reset, all characters and items are moved to “standard league”. Standard league is a snapshotted version of the game where you don’t have access to the new content. To play the new content, you have to make a new character and start from scratch. Characters on the new league are unable to interact with characters from standard league. This should happen every 3 months.

              When Path of Exile 2 patch 0.2 comes out in hopefully February, the leaderboard will reset and people will have to make a new character to compete on the leaderboard.
