I personally like the idea and it sounds like fun. I would only like to see 2 alterations

1 - Armour MTX. If any of these challenges are going to be based on having to do certain things while certain mods are active, please don't make them things that are based on RNG. Kill x amount of tormented spirits is one thing. Having to hunt down 5 specific spirits, especially when it becomes the ones that are difficult to find period makes it beyond frustrating to achieve and pretty much basis it on luck. This becomes even more frustrating when each league is based on a certain time window when the majority of the community may or may not be able to play based on real life. The top 1% will of course be able to complete them easily because they can play whenever they need too. that is not the case for the biggest part of the community though. Killing certain mobs that are static in the game and can always be found is one thing. But to rely on RNG on top of hoping you can actually find time to play based on a small time window is going to be a big turn off to alot of players. Noone wants incomplete sets. I feel if there are parts that are not achievable to the majority of players (with a little work obviously, not asking for freebies here) Then it may be a turn off for the whole thing. If they are going to be static, Kill these beyond mobs, Box with this mod on it, Kill this Spirit, Kill this warband mob, please at least consider excluding the rare ones which are very seldomly encountered. (Divine Shrine/Echoing shrine not seen after playing the entire league for 3-5 hours per day, happen to anyone but me?) Zoning in and out of zones just to run through and try to find one specific thing is not fun at all.

2 - Please refrain from challenges that in a round about way cater to the rich. Identifying/Owning T1-T2 uniques, Turning in high value div cards (lets face it, most who completed these did not farm them their selves... they bought most of them) Clearing high level, hard to come by maps (Not only do you have to have the wealth to aquire these maps but also the gear to live through them. I'm not talking about the lower end of high maps here, more along the lines of lvl 80+ maps that once again...the majority of dedicated players can't even sustain. Lets face it...the demigods are already there to accomodate that top 1% as I am sure the upper end of the tiered rewards will be as well. We can probably already predict the players that will achieve these so I don't even see them as a challenge or incentive for most players. Lets make the rest of the stuff based more around the dedicated players who are not able to play 40+ hours a week. Once again I don't think they should all be based on a casual play style, but the meat &potatoes so to speak should probably be geared more around the dedicated player base

And just to clarify because I am sure everyones definitions are differnt this is how I rate player types

Casual Player - hour a day - 6-10 hours a week
Dedicated Player - 2-5 hours a day - 15-30 hours a week
Hardcore Players - Plays more than the average person spends at work a week - 40+ hours a week
No Lifers - Eat, Sleep, Urinate,Poop & Play PoE and often multitask by accomplishing some of the first 4 choices while still playing poe

Edit for a 3rd change - Different MTX's for Standard & Hardcore. Ebony Serph FTW. Hardcore is dead to me unless I have a very compelling reason to go for it.
