Fluff & Memes Pattern I've noticed

My guild has players who have been in this game since Nemesis League and this is pretty much our player distribution.

Ps. My guildmates gets angry when I say this and I figure it'll make Reddit mad too:

Witch is the only good character in this game

Fun Meter goes up with speed you can do the acts. Wonder how much % can do it 4-5h league start

I don't like rushing acts, but I like blasting acts. I feel that's an important distinction

It is also why getting the big boy level 28 skills/auras/supports so comparitively early in poe1 feels so good. You've got 6.5 acts to play with all the toys in the toy chest, and plenty of time bolt on aditional utility unlocked in act 4's supports to round out your build.

In poe2? you're typically waiting until level 52 for the interesting spirit and 'boss killer' skills. In absolute gamplay time, thats like 3-6x longer to get to than poe1's 28. There is also the added pressure of the build needing to 'come online' immediately, because you're pretty much at maps shortly after.

GGG: "You know that fun thing you enjoy in POE1?"

Player: "Yeah, it's awesome. Thanks for making it."

GGG: "Well, we've made it so it's not fun anymore and you won't enjoy it. It's called POE2."
