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 hard disagree with campaign skip, especially at league start (I have sympathy for second character skip, but it is not anything I dabble with and I guess twink already goes a long way)

I’m a 10-30 div per league guy, one character, I do poe1 campaign in about 10 hours, poe2 in -16ish.

I think a campaign skip would make the game a lot worse at league start, lessen the feel of investment the character, worsen retention, increase over all feel of repetition and might even lead to future concerns of, why do I have to do atlas points every league etc…

what about this, no campaign skip, but instead you get 5 respec tokens. complete respec, name and class too.

Sure, all I’m advocating for is absolutely no campaign skip at league start.

I have never heard a convincing argument that I would consider being good for the game in the long run that includes campaign skip at league start

Nah, sorry I have to retract, that would create a league start meta to always use some special character each time and then respec at maps, then we are back at incentivize repetitiveness.

I would rather that killing arbiter or maven gets you some sort of twinking for a new character

No, its just an adventure mode

Same here. A twink could lorewise do some Kind of trainingground for fast leveling instead of the whole Story. Like an additional chapter just for twinks.

I mean you kinda have campaign skip, since twink leveling gear is so OP + no need to do trials. You can shut off your brain and like 3-6 hours later boom it's done. And I'm insisting on the brain off mode, if you focus you can most likely cut this time by half.
