If it's important to you that your time is respected and you only do valuable and rewarding things with your time, you can make that happen. Go to the gym. Enroll in Harvard's "Masterpieces of World Literature" online course co-taught by two eminent professors of comparative literature. Start a vegetable garden. Call your mother. Go to a play at a community theater. Volunteer with a local nonprofit. Learn to brew your own beer. Go on a day hike. Organize like-minded people to lobby your local government on an issue in your community that's important to you. Join a rec sports league. Meditate. Do that home improvement task you've been meaning to do but haven't gotten around to yet.

Playing Path of Exile is, objectively, one of the least productive and valuable things you can possibly do with your time. Most games, and the ARPG genre in particular, are practically designed around wasting time! Few people can do important and valuable things at peak productivity 24 hours a day, so we sometimes do low-value, low-impact, unproductive things to give our minds a break. The idea of "respecting your time" while grinding loot in an ARPG is an oxymoron, it's absurd, it's the punchline to a joke.
