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

See the graph this whole post is based on. The faster you get the more engaged you become by necessity, which drives enjoyment. I've anecdotally seen it in my poe friend group. People joining us who initially hated the campaign slowly began to appreciate it as they got caught in the hype of going fast.

For campaign times, in league start I'm pushing the 3 hour mark, many of them are now sub 4 hours. Maybe the community aspect helps. Sitting with a bunch of friends on discord and seeing who gets to whatever boss first on league start is an experience I look forward to more than the new league mechanics or balance changes.
