GGG asks players to experiment, nerfs builds into the ground and doesn't offer free respecs.
Yes. FREE is the appropriate price for them. YOU mess them up, don't expect us to pay even 1 gold on it. I am not a victim of this but it is ridiculous behaviour and early access is not an excuse BUT AN EVEN BIGGER reason to make it available.

Somehow, when you thought to make the game slower and remove movement skills/flasks it did not occur to you that making maps BIGGER THAN THE ORIGINAL GAME'S is a abhorrent idea, similarly, enemies that bodyblock you and force you into corners should not have made it past day 1 of brainstorming. Terrible.

Act 1 monsters are really well thought out, with different mobs feeling... big surprise here... DIFFERENT. AWESOME job on those! You somehow managed to show me that some mobs are better fought from up-close, some need to be focused, some are irrelevant and can be cleaned at the end as long as you avoid most projectiles they throw at you. I have no idea which mobs those are but they are amazingly thought out, which makes the next point very hard to express without cussing you out:

THIS GOES OUT THE WINDOW IN ACT 3. EVERY SINGLE MONSTER RUSHES YOU ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND ATTACKS YOU IN MELEE. THEY'RE THE SAME MONSTER OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. The water witches are one of the VERY FEW exceptions and their design is even worse thought-out!

HOW did you pretend to make something different with the vaal high-tech society and then have enemies STILL RUSH YOU WITH SWORDS? YOU HAVE LASERS EVERYWHERE

Lastly, the enemy variety gets stale VERY quickly. You fight humans throughout, with a few animals thrown in but the enemies are so boring and repetitive I have no idea what happened, just humans with one reason or another to fight you: zombies, savages, cultists... very uninspired.

What boggles my mind is that a lot of these changes were made with disregard for the actual enjoyability of the game, which is the WHOLE POINT. Again, insane to me that you showed me the best ARPG that I ever touched in the first act, successfully copying Diablo 2 and the first game of the series to bring and extraordinary experience, to just throw it out the window right after.

This does not feel unfinished or unpolished except for one or two bugs but I feel disappointed with the deliberate choices made here. I have very high expectations and love your work in general, I'm not expecting to be catered to personally as that would be insane but I want this game to work BECAUSE it can be one of the best games ever made.
