How to discontinue POE 1 - The Final Countdown season

In an another thread, there was a valid point that GGG is struggling with having two games developed in parallel.

As eventually there can only be one, it's good to ideate how to end POE 1 without creating bad will to it's loyal players.

Or rather, how to create good will and end it with a bang!

I suggest a "Final Countdown" season - at certain point, the season (and with it, the entire game) turns to HC and the countdown starts, and no new characters can be created.

The one who gathers most XP (no cap), wins a million dollars. (or whatever GGG can spare)

But, in order for this to eventually end, introduce a "Final countdown" buff to all monsters, making them a bit stronger every day on a linear (or if need be) exponential curve.

Eventually, the forces of chaos kill off every exile, and claim Wraeclast.

Here's what the Game Director, Mark Roberts, said about the discontinuation of PoE1 in an interview with Destin:

How about we close poe 2 and focus on poe 1?
After all, poe 1 players has put their sweat, blood and money into financing this for over a decennia. They should be the priority.
