The Path of Exile 3.26 update introduces a highly requested but divisive feature

While Grinding Gear Games continues to cook up improvements for Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt, attention has now finally returned to its beloved predecessor. The Path of Exile 3.26 league, Secrets of the Atlas, has been a long time coming - more than a decade since it first launched, the original PoE still remains the greatest and most substantive ARPG around for the time being, but it's sat on the back burner for almost a year due to the PoE 2 launch. Now, GGG is ready to bring us back, and it's already unveiled some fundamental changes.
