What do standard players think of POE1?

I used to play both because I liked the temp leagues and the permanent leagues. Over time I got better at the game and was able to do in temp leagues what I otherwise could only accomplish with more time in Standard.

I no longer play Standard, but my reason is probably not what you might expect. As a consistent temp league player for over a decade, my Standard stash has progressively become more unmanageable. The way it dumps tabs in Standard made the Standard stash insane. One league I tried to put all the tabs into a folder only to find it removed the folder and just dumbed all the tabs all over the place in Standard again.

Now when I try to open my stash in standard, you can almost feel the servers causing a rip in space and time. 5-10 seconds to open. And 50/50 chance it crashes the client. Moving tabs around also runs a high risk of crashing.

POE isn't a game where you can just not use your stash often. So now Standard has become my museum of fun things with 2 eternal orbs probably being the most prized possessions.

If that were ever resolved, I would go back to playing both but I think that ship has sailed.
