campaign is worthless waste of time there's nothing to be gained from harder campaign it would just slow down getting to the actual game

One of the things I strongly dislike about "the actual game" is the hassle due to itemization. In campaign (or other endless stuff like Labyrinth or Delve) this is not a thing.
And whether its a "worthless" waste of time or a "worthy" waste of time is purely subjective anyway.

How about some genuinely new ideas:

1) Endless campaign.

2) Endless Labyrinth.

Edit: 3) Endless "Fetid Pool" - you only get to advance to the next area if all mobs are dead.

All non-unique mobs are rares. Normally rare and unique mobs get 1-x extra AN mods.

2 more opinions... And I share neither of them.

4) AN Everywhere: All non-unique mobs are rares. Normally rare and unique mobs get 1-x extra AN mods.

5) Endless Maps: Maps are not consumed when used. Maps cannot be modified. 1 Guaranteed map as quest reward. 99% less maps from all other sources. (Kirac can be used to complete maps just like now.)

are you seriously arguing that the acts aren't just a stepping stone to reach the actual game? you get nothing from the acts and past your first character at league start you don't even pick up anything except the rare times a divine or chaos orb drop there's nothing to be gained from the campaign other than a way to level up to start mapping

what's the point of maps not being consumed if you can't juice them? can already do that with bulk buying a map and running it white

1) You are arguing from your (vocal majority?, 27 points) POV. Obviously the Acts/Campaign are part of the game. For those specializing in speedrunning they may even be the most important part of the game.
2) Even if its so this is completely irrelevant for a game mode that only has Campaign. So whats your point? Its not supposed to be more rewarding or easier or whatever.
3) Maybe try playing in SSFHC [optional: Ruthless] and you may appreciate the loot in the campaign a bit more.

Its both a limitation and a simplification. And you cant buy maps in (HC) SSF(*) anyway.

Edit: I was assuming that events may be spiced up like Mayhem with the 2 extra bad mods last year. So you dont need extra juice to make it harder.

(*) Thats where the most prices are. See former Delirium etc events. So no "SSF doesnt matter".
