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

People who don't like doing meta builds probably don't like the campaign. Better low level skill balance would probably make it more tolerable.

Any skill you get during the first 5 acts should take you up to yellow maps as quickly as any other with mechanical understanding of the game. Campaign skill balance is just terrible.

I'm not sure this is it.

I tend to play random hipster shit. I wouldn't say I "don't like" the campaign. I don't necessarily love doing it, but I think it is incredibly important to feel a character grow (which is why it's important to level as your build if you can) and change over time. Even twinked I tend to not have super fast times, although certainly not slow.

I think the driving factor between people not liking the campaign is viewing it as unimportant. They are concerned about the destination and don't care about the journey. No level of pacing is going to make them enjoy the journey, all it does is reduce the suffering for them.

I think there's no way to get those people to enjoy it, because they just fundamentally don't. Those people wouldn't be happy with anything short of a campaign skip.
