This will never happen the game would die, you're more than welcome to play standard for eternity with the very small playerbase that continues playing standard.
Step 1 is to self reflect.

OP is right. Seasonal/F R E S H resets are garbage means of player retention. Developing novel content is more engaging.

people have mentioned "POE1, D4, LE" does seasonal content.
but i want to point out LE does something different. in their temp league, its the same as others. start fresh. complete challenges etc.
but for their "standard"/permanent league, they get too experience the league content too!
like how the fucking awesome is that? you dont need to reroll, you dont need to waste time. and its exactly like how you said it. if i m attached to my character and gear/wealth, starting from scratch is something I DONT WANT to do.
LE solves this so beautifully. the caveat is the end game league content such as league specific bosses are LOCKED behind temp league progress. if players in the temp league have not killed the boss in the temp league, access to the boss is restricted in standard league. in other words until ANYONE playing on the temp league kills the temp league boss, standard league players have NO ACCESS to this boss. but once a temp leaguer has accomplished this, standard players can now enjoy the league content fully on standard.
Hmmm not really, it worked out like that because the only content they had to add in the first cycle was a single boss so they could try and create a bit of hype with a streamer race to kill it. It wasn't a season boss - it was a permanent addition to the game like Shaper, Elder, Sirus, Maeven etc. and all those were added to standard at the same time as leagues in POE. As yet LE doesn't have any league model, seasonal content, challenges etc. New cycle is just a reset and that is it.

Thanks, yeah I don’t understand why there isn’t an extreme pushback against the invalidation of our characters every 3 months. If there was ever a time to do so, it would be with PoE 2.
We’ve seen countless overhauls of the game and vision, and I love all of it. I bought the Liberator of Wraeclast bundle right after the first Act boss, and do not want my great memory, of a perfectly designed boss fight, ruined through repetition. With the current design, mastering your class and fine-tuning your own personal build, hunting down drops, and getting everything just right will take much longer than 3 months playing naturally.
While I’m not advocating for the game to be made easier, I am pushing for respect of the player’s time if they are going to be spending much more of it to get where they need to compared to blasting through PoE in a week.

There isn't any pushback against it because it has been a successful model for 12 years. Again, this is quite possibly the worst suggestion in the past 13 years.
I'm sure you can find an RPG that suits you but Path of Exile is very obviously not that RPG. Nor will it ever be.
