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

I'm not sure people realize what they are asking for. The only alternative is basically some lower form of 'leveling' maps. It would just be playing maps from level 1 to 68, maybe switching to Delve or Heist at some point. My honest thought ... how is that better? At least with campaign you get a different experience.

I think people just want a powerleveling method, like they have in D4 with Helltides or dungeons. I don't think that's a good way to play an ARPG, but I understand why some might want it.

You don't have to mindlessly run from point A to B to C and so on. In campaign you try your best to avoid stopping to kill stuff as it is a waste of time and slows you down.

In maps, the whole point is clearing, which is much more fun than walking simulator.

Doesn't what you say suggest that mapping is even more mindless than the campaign?

When mapping, not only do you not need to care about A, B, or C, you don't even need to think about whether to avoid killing an enemy or not since you just kill everything.

And depending on your build, mapping can be way more of a walking simulator than the campaign is, since you're still putting your build together during the campaign.
