How do you justify being a PoE "no-lifer" in the new leagues?

Looking as the Ambush and Invasion ladders:

Ambush = 3472 players level 75+
Invasion = 722 players level 75+

with less than 2 weeks into the new leagues. With increasingly harder content every 4 months with no appreciable buff in loot quality how do you justify the time factor anymore?

Edit: For these players how many hours per day does it take to get to your 75+ level?

Took me probably 3 days played since start of invasion (too lazy to check) to get 72 Ranger, though a lot of that was farming Merv/City of Sarn because my RNG was garbage. It's justifiable because it's enjoyable, even if it is addictive. I don't really have anything else to do for the next month and a half, so why not?


Unfortunately though I thought I'd mess around in cruel city of sarn checking out the invasion boss changes, got a lag spike and died. Not sure how. Don't even know how things hurt me in cruel at 72. So I think I'll have a little more of a life since I'm too depressed about only dying to connection issues to play. (/rant).

lvl 75 is nothing really. That is around 16 hours give or take. 16 hours / 10 days = 1hour and 36 minutes a day. That is not 'No-lifer'. No even close.

I am level 86 now and I agree that is not casual. Just been lucky enough to have a lot of time on my hands these last 10 days.

 So your in 4+ group to get to 75 that fast? But then proving me wrong about the amount of time it takes to get to 75 only indicates you are a master player that needs to be in a different league than the one I can play in and make progress. I can cruise up to level 68 pretty easily but then get bogged down and grind to a halt playing solo. If there was a Solo League and an Ironman League then I could play solo and still progress as it would be tweaked for single player. Ironman would be extra tough (like Invasion is) and satisfy all who say PoE is just a gear check and are getting bored that this game is too easy. Everyone has different PoE playing capabilities and thus 2 base leagues is too few to satisfy all.

Takes me more than 16 hrs to get level 75..

Took me 21 hours to get to lvl 75, that´s where I´m now, doing my lvl 67 maps :-/.
There´s no way I can compete if I have to work 8 hours a day, that´s why I´m looking forward to the 1hour races again :).

Level 79 solo selffound on ambush checking in.
