As a Casual, I am sad that Synthesis is ending so soon

Synthesis had some problems at start, but was eventually turned into a pretty deep and rewarding league. It had a lot of things to learn and use to your advantage, even for a casual player.

And as a casual, I am certainly not able to develop more than one character during a league to a level when it finally feels fun and powerful (i.e. obtaining a Headhunter and such).

But now Synthesis is ending, and I feel like my character is being taken away from me, all beacuse of necessity to push new supporter packs onto a general playerbase.

GGG, please:

1. Leagues are too short for a casual playerbase to develop a charater and have time to enjoy it. Hectic schedule of league releases hurts quality and enjoyement. When the release problems are corrected, legue is sometimes dead already.

2. Standard is NOT an alternative to a league play, being too shallow, too unrewarding, with not enough people to play, with dead economy and inflated prices.

3. You are hurting casuals extremely bad by forcing resets (especially when resetting into a "simplier" (shallow) leagues, just beacuse you need to churn out content and push supporter packs.

I will probably not be playing Legion, and I will certainly not be buying a supporter pack. I urge anyone who agrees with this sentiment abstain from buying a supporter pack also.

For the sake of the casual playerbase 3-month release schedule needs to go away!

Lol I never had a HH, am I more casual than you?

What does literal HH have to do with determining who is casual?

A casual will play say less than 2 hours a day on average and will obtain a HH 2 months into the league.

A hardcore nolifer will play 10 hours a day on average and will obtain a HH 2 weeks into the league.

A causal is happy to finally get a HH, but beacuse GGG is pushing new supporter packs, there is not enough time to enjoy using a HH in the league. Thus GGG hurts the enjoyment of a casual player.

Sure you can not buy the supporter pack and suggest others don't as well, do you prefer to pay a monthly subscription fee to play? Because you do realize this is a business and it comes with development costs, you know real people who need to feed families etc ...

The one thing I know about GGG is they are pretty good at using their data numbers to make decisions, and they seem to know that 3 months is the number that works best for leagues .... it sounds like playing on standard is more what you are looking for.
