Anyone else skipping Essence League?

TBH, Essence league just looks super bland. I'm going to be playing it because I do like the fresh start. I'll pretty much be treating it as an Atlas of Worlds league since I rarely play standard. I'm just disappointed in a "crafting" based league.

Until now i was never really lucky in crafting gear, so the league is not so interested for me. I will play a little bit the league to collect essences (for the possibility when they transfer this function to standard), collecting stone hammer :-)) But i think i play maximum 20% of my playtime in league, the other 80% i try to fill my Atlas..

I will skip essence league because I skip every league, standard for the win.

prophecy was casual for me made 2 80+ till they went to hell this time will be casual casual
found a nice chinsol build iam eager to try out

1h-2h a day max till the char dies

waiting for the essence only uniques

Will check 2.4 patch notes and will probably skip this league as well.

Unless they lure me in with something like the monkey, will skip. I want to tag team the atlas with standard chars. I can dust a lot of them off and give them the attention they deserve or get rid of those that don't pull their own weight.

ill probably try it out for a bit , but not at start . ill wait till mid league when some league only stuff is made cheaper .. then buy the low hanging fruit

Gonna play the league for the mtx rewards nothing else as i never have nor ever will craft in this game chaos spam all the way for me.

Stanard for sure. Glad people are starting to remove their heads from their rears and joining the fun of perfecting their builds on standard.

Starting from nothing is what PoE is for me. I just have to try out Essence/Atlas until I get bored of it. Experiencing it first hand too is way better than reading feedback from players so skipping is out of the question.
