Community Question: Why are you playing Standard?

Standard is the only option for someone who wants to one day eventualy be powerfull enough to play the all content of the game but also has got a normal real life ( 8hours in the office a day , 2 hours at the gym a day , a family to take care of , travelling etc ... )
My answer is not complex.. pretty simple and easy to understand

Desync+poison=why i dont bother with hardcore

Why bother with any but Standard is my counter question lol

Economy. :)

And we'll all be here watching as you're falling down to Earth."
I used to be fine with rerolling on D2 every ladder end, but GGG spoiled it for me. It was a feature that everyone utopically dreamed of but has proven to be a little poisonous at the end.

I will keep on playing standard for reasons mentioned before, basically is TIME. Once you pass the 30+ treshold there are a lot of things to take care of on your life.

And let's be honest .... mirrored gear is cool.

people like to hate on the std economy but i dont get it... standard's economy is far more stable than softcore temp leagues, and great gear is available for almost any build for cheap

You can pretty much instantly gear any build for maps on like 10 chaos
The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard
The 82nd character to hit Delve 1000 in Standard

People love to whine about everything, even if they don't have good reasons. For some people availability of God-tier items means that "economy is brokan".
On Standard, it is far easier to buy, and far harder to sell - so people whine, because they have to get less currency for their items.

Because I'm still waiting for that Ambush League start feel again, new content, big hype, new items.

Past 2 SC leagues have been absolute horse shit. Rampage was bland as fuck, Torment is standard 1.2, had some fun with Beyond though, before I ripped to desync.
"Get rich or die grinding"

Lvl 100 Ascendant - RadioactiveSago: HIGHEST KB tooltiplordz in all of PoE (view-thread/1636451)
Lvl 100 Assassin - Chonkeyy: Omnislasher 2 mil DPS Flicker Build (view-thread/1571744)
Playing Standard because:
- Both Rampage and Torment had already bored me to death at around level 70
- I don't have to farm **** like masters again
- I have gear/gems/currency on standard (duh)
- HC is a joke with the amount of lag and desync in the game, feels like it's just there for streamers


Ambush was still the best league imo.

- Errr, no, Sir. It is not only for streamers. You dying doesn't mean it is ALWAYS desync. Stun, maybey?

2 hours at the gym per day is far outside the norm, but I relate to your other points.
