no one has made any insults. and no one has said they were better than anyone else.

If you write people off as beta testers because they play the league i'd say you sorely misunderstand what leagues are or why people like them.

By countless you mean a small amount of players? But sure countless cause we don't have any official numbers but flying over all the offline trade offers on standard shows you how much of a graveyard it is. But I guess it's home for the rmt folks and their money printers I can agree on that.
I know you hate the fact but standard is just nothing but a storage place or testig ground with a really small amount of players playing it seriously lol
So yea you didn't ruined my delusion cause unlike you I know the state of standard league since years. Sorry that you remain in hope that standard might become something big at some point. Probably big once GGG puts PoE1 on maintenance mode without further updates, but even than standard is going to be pretty dead because most players are simply going to jump to a new game. New league content is what the game keeps alive.

Not to ruin your delusions but Standard has and will always be just the storage place for your collected items during the leagues. Or a temp playground if you want to skip a league but still play PoE.

another thing that blizzard did right was having the concept of REBIRTH.

an eternal character could be "reborn" in new seasons, so you dont consume a character slot and will retain the character name.

In POE, wouldn't deleting a character, then creating a new one with the same name accomplish the same thing?

yeap, just that in diablo its a somewhat automated process.

theres zero risk that some dude is gonna snipe your nick away (its close to zero probability), but its still nice to have a button that automates it.

create new character> choose a league > reuse character>
WARNING this will delete all items equipped and any items in their inventory and will be set to level 1.

Only use this option if you want to create a new character with the same name/starting class in a new league

If you understand, type "I agree" to proceed

At this point just let me use my account name that shows up here on the forums and keep my character names hidden.

I am a standard enjoyer when the league mechanic is not for me or if I am held back by my illness (usually the case). However it is a bad idea to bring anything from standard into a league even if it happens half way in even if trade of worn items are disabled. It would completely discourage remaining players in the trade leagues if people with legacy items got to enter the league server and completely lag those down with interactions that had not been considered. Legacy items mixed with experimental league items can quickly crash game servers if not careful. It would not be worth the money for GGG
