About r/pathofexile

In its own words:

Discussion about Path of Exile, a free ARPG made by Grinding Gear Games

Community guide

r/pathofexile (#978, about 1.1 million) discusses Path of Exile, Grinding Gear Games’ free action RPG—builds, leagues and drops for this title, not item trades or unrelated ARPGs.

What belongs

Game discussion (about 24 posts/day; mostly text). Rules require English, Path of Exile content and kindness; they ban accusations and incitement, harassment, low-effort posts, misinformation, duplicate hot-topic threads, trading or requesting items and services, excess self-promotion, and unrestricted item showcases or explicit content.

Versus general gaming rooms

Platform-wide gaming hubs bury league mechanics and lab talk. This room stays on Path of Exile itself.

Practical pointers

Don’t list items for trade; check megathreads before repeating a hot topic.

The community was created on Apr 8, 2011, which makes it 15 years old. Since Nov 2, 2026, it has gained 769 subscribers (+0.07%). It sits just behind r/GuysBeingDudes (#978) and ahead of r/economy (#980) in our ranking.
