You should not be able to make 'standard characters', standard league should have league mechanics

"QoL" - That way everyone will still go to League and there would be no confusion at the League screen - BUT if you're playing last leagues character (aka Standard) you don't miss out on content if you started late in league and don't have to FOMO a new league for the same build you were doing last league. Especially with longer campaigns. I got a Titan guy to level 50 and don't want to start another one doing the exact same shit to see how he does late game, but not having current league content makes PoE very boring.

Honestly you are better off. You will just spend more time in menus desecrating and getting killed by 4 abyssal rares who look like one mob (clipped over each other).

You will fear the green holes more than tier 15 bosses after level 85 especially.

You seem to fundamentally misunderstand the point of leagues here.

That's why I suggested "You should not be able to make 'standard characters'" first, really I'd be fine with either what I suggested or 'Standard League has permanently active previous league mechanic'
Mostly because without a league mechanic running actively the game is barren for either content or economic incentive, and it'd be really nice to have a few characters you don't need to FOMO over a few months to get to maps to play and enjoy, especially since combat and not just farming is a big selling point of 2 over 1.
