Should completing a higher tier of Labyrinth grant all lower tier's Ascendancy points?

ie: Complete Merciless lab, get Normal and Cruel lab's points
ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it

bleh lab is such a crappy expansion literally craps on the "starting character is just for looks" thing GGG was touting early on.
bring back the state of the game in 1.3 vaults of atziri patch
Probably the least asinine solution I've seen to Lab's issues.

Yes. I frankly pretend the lab does not exist until I finish dried lake and get to around level 60. At the very least, allow this mechanic for the second character of a league.

What a fantastic idea. Straight to merc lab, then onto maps, and ultimately uber.
In the beta you have to do the first lab (previously normal) before you can enter the second one (previously cruel) and the second one before you can enter the third one (previously merciless) - so this would not work if it stays that way for 3.0.

If it doesn't, then this is a good idea -if you hate the Labyrinth.

Although you should still have the option to run the lower ones, but I don't see that as being a problem.

I'd agree with this.

Especially if they keep Norm Lab so pointless to do as Scion... (Like, there is barely any reason to do Norm on Scion until you've done Cruel, so you can actually get something worthwhile from your Ascendancy points...)

Outside of that, it does allow you to alleviate the drudgery by waiting until Merc to do lab so you only end up needing to run it twice per character (Merc and Uber) rather than 4x per character.
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with the system being quite that generous. Maybe letting you do the second Lab to get points from the first two, and the fourth Lab to get points from the latter two? Or disabling it for the first character to do the Labs in each league, or whatever.

I feel like something has gone wrong if people never do the Lab themselves and always pay a runner to do it for them. If people do some of it themselves then pay a runner to do the rest, that's fine. This idea makes me suspect people would end up paying for Merc Lab runs then Uber Lab ones, and I don't think that's an ideal which the game should be aspiring to realise.

Something's seriously wrong if people don't engage with the content at all.
