SEASONAL content directly in STANDARD as well as in LEAGUE

Right now it’s weird design: two nearly identical games, same seasonal structure, same grind, fighting for the same players. That’s not smart competition, that’s just the game competing with itself.

It's worth noting, they are not meant to be fighting for the same players.

PoE1 and 2 are supposed to become different enough that have different target audiences, where the people playing 1/2 would not be playing 2/1 regardless.

Think of the League as the Test Server. You don't want half-baked ideas going core.

That seeminginly reasonable thought doesn't actually work because they way these games are run, played, and handled by both devs and players, the seasonal league *is* core, standard isn't.

You will never get all the new content in Standard. This is something you have to accept as a Standard player. One main reason is GGG will not want their shiny new endgame boss killed 5 minutes after the season starts, with the video posted on reddit. It kills hype for people playing the league from a fresh start.

This is exactly the reason why it will never be that the league content goes directly to standard. It just doesnt make any sense. And it is not because people would not play the league otherwise :D. You have to understand that Standard Players are a minority! like HC and SSF. It is totally fine these modes exist, i also like them but you have to understand that you are not representing most of the playerbase.

And to be honest i find the take hilarious that PoE1 and PoE2 are too similar and especially the argument that giving the league content to standard immediately would be changing that. That wouldnt be a real difference :D
