Please explain to me how casual are supposed to enjoy poe?

That's the neat part, you don't.

PoE is designed to be played dozens of hours a day. Or just play standard.

Really depends on your experience. An experienced player can kill pinnacles in like 2 or 3 weeks while playing an hour or two per day which i'd consider pretty casual. Obviously a new player will struggle immensely and progress slowly but that isn't really an issue. Plus there is standard where you have all the time in the world allowing even casuals to manage all content in the game eventually if they have the drive for it.

Basically what you are saying is:

Ahhh! Game so hard ! My 10C build can't stay alive more than half a second in 100% Delirium maps, can't kill Uber Bosses , Can't Do sanctum.
I want a Mirror of kalandra as a reward for killing a Random White Mob in maps.

Look, I understand your frustration and emphasize of the fact that everything looks so challenging and difficult and your build oftenly feels powerless, The problem is that most of the content you are mentioning is not precissely made for Cassual players, it is the exact opposite and in some specific cases like Sanctum you not only need to make a specific build to be able to run them but also you need to play the sanctum to perfection to be able to do them.

So... If you truly don't want to investigate about the HUGE learning curve you have ahead, atleast have the descency to have more realistic goals.
The game is insanely more complex and difficult than any other game of the genre And you can even cranck up the difficulty even more with SSF, Ruthless and/or Hardcore. Which i consider that only gods of this game are able to play...

With all honesty i play the game since quite some time already and i'm still not being able to do the campain without dying atleast 1 time EVEN with a mageblood on it which is practically a god mode for the campain.
I only killed Uber Sirus once, Only cleared from start to finish the Simulacrum in one League and only Felt like i truly can do ALL the content of the game without dying with the most powerful build that was ever created in the game (The old good Scion Aurastacker, back in time were Reduced Mana Reserved existed prior to be replaced by mana Efficiency and the removal of the mid cluster jewels and blood magic as a gem.)

So... What i am trying to say is... You can still have god tier items and do most of the content and most importantly have fun with the content that you enjoy the most BUT you have to set realistic goals and you have to understand the level of difficulty that each contet has to offer and carrys within.

I have a toddler and this is the only game I am able to step away at moments notice and come right back to running maps or working on my next build etc. And kill mobs and mobs of monster is quite relaxing and casual as it gets if you ask me. (Just don't be so hard on yourself lol have fun bro)

I've been playing on and off for 10+ years.

But that's only my 2cent.

Some people consider Torchlight Infinite to be POE light...in a good way.

i have decent characters on std and 20k hours but never had tried ubers, not even Atzbooba

This is not a question a casual would Ask. We casuals do not care about such things. Its a question from a tryhard who just isnt as good as he thinks he is.

poe is like well a game that has 10 games in one and expecting to do everything on one character is a bit wrong but possible with a lot of time so don't worry about everything and try to enjoy the journey.

GGG cant fix the game for fun.
Its designed to make people die so GGG can laugh at you when you die from some dumb shit.

The visual design is intended to make mobs hard to see, to make abilites hard to see, the ground effects are designed so its hard to see.

and then chris wilson have the audicity to say that they cant fix it when its designed such.

Small boss rooms, make game hard for casuals.
that alongside the above make boss fights a horrible experience and not fun.
