Leveling New Characters - FATED CONNECTIONS

Hey All :)

So I've recently been trying to catch up on the Fated Connections podcast. I'm on 59 so I think an episode behind - but interestingly they have Neversink and Woolfio on as guests talking about the issues surrounding leveling.

The argument as far as I can tell is that people are tired of leveling new characters. Not everyone can play 100's of hours and therefore once one character has got into the 80's, creating another one can feel like days worth of work.

Here's my suggestion... Hear me out first before jumping down my throat :D;

I'm a casual player - I play one character a league because I don't have the time to play anymore. Now the annoyance for me is I have leveled a Viper Strike Pathfinder to 88 - still plenty of investment to be made but I'm not enjoying the style of the build. Having looked at some content creators and POENINJA - Spectral Shield Throw looks right up my street.

Wouldn't it be great if we could BUY - yes BUY, WITH INGAME CURRENCY OF COURSE. Other peoples characters? The 0.1% player base that level 6-7 characters once bored of each one could sell them off to invest in new characters. This also allows players like me to look on the market and say "My current build isn't fun anymore and I've farmed 10 ex - Let's try buy a level 80ish Gladiator to play with".

This could also potentially open up the end game mechanics that the casual player struggles with. Advertising a build that can Kill Uber Elder or Delve to 1,000 etc.

Not computer orientated at all but I'm sure with enough investment this could be viable?

One tip is to try out new build or playstyles on standard... Usually there will be enough stuff in the stash there to cobble together something one can try stuff out with. Not perfect but one can atleast get the feel of a build.

i just cant see myself playing league anytime soon.
