Call it “beta-test seasons” or “experimental seasons” or “early access seasons” or whatever.
One thing must be there: early reset, like 2-3 weeks after start. And then start it over. So people must not be upset of resets. Tune up the mechanics and the economy, then do reset.

Because the single rightest thing that has to be done now is to reset the league. Which is impossible to do because people will be upset, that’s why beta test is needed.

Probably the devs still don’t understand what they have done today: the backup currencies got crashed. Fracturing orbs, omens of light instantly lost like half the price.

This league I didn’t care about the league mechanics at all. I was happy just playing the fresh economy I was working around of the devaluing of divine orbs. Storing my “wealth” in fracturing orbs. Today it crashed.
I deleted my characters and uninstalled the game.

Also I don’t like these things:
1. Bribing players with loot so they stay and continue to play. Poor mechanics is poor mechanics. Most of the league mechanics look like cheap smartphone games ported to poe. I hate smartphone gaming. I don’t like “logic” “puzzle” games. I want to play combat-based games.

2. Not fixing bugs, spending time on league mechanics instead. Simulacrum portals still bugged, ultimatum elevators still don’t work sometimes. Characters get stopped at every corners, etc.

3. Obfuscation of important things. Like higher gold drop chance means lower drop chance of the useful loot. Waystone drop chance influenced amount of arbiter keys - how to find it out? And then next questions arise, does more magic mobs mean less rare mobs? etc. I don’t like the atlas and the atlas points because of that: vague description, means I have to solve a problem that doesn’t have solution.

4. Not being able to pause the game and see and read buffs and debuffs of all entities on the screen. See point 3.
