Precisely.

Except that... nope.
A little education for you :

You can watch everything, or start specifically at 5:05 and get the facts straight.

This statement kinda dangerous cause it actually applies back to you. Ive said every decision that a somewhat experienced player like me can thinke and any outcome that can be percieved while following such decisions. You are simply saying blabla im not listening you are wrong and denying it without any logical point from your side, which is not a good way to come to a conclusion in an arguement.

Also another fact for that guy that believes there will be no leagues in PoE2.

Jonathan Rogers said there will be leagues in PoE2 same as in PoE1.

You are engaging with hypotheticals that suit only your narrative. You aren't earnestly providing a counterargument to the implementation of catchup mechanics. You claim players WILL experience X and IMMEDIATELY have to deal with Y. I'm not convinced.

A community divided by the dodge roll. Perhaps what they can do, which they probably won’t, because it would cost too much, is to update Poe1 with the Poe2 graphics system and continue to make attractive leagues for Poe1 players.

Yeah. That would certainly help.

They really just need to come out and say what the long-term plan is here. What the worst case scenarios are, especially.

Like, let's say, 90% of people love PoE 2, and only 10% play PoE 1, what kind of support and shelf-life can PoE 1 players expect?

Or what if the opposite happens - 90% of people play PoE 2 for 2 or 3 leagues, and decide that actually, they hate it. What happens to PoE 2, then?

Because the people, who are not in it for the long haul, don't care either way. But those, who are, really want to know.

Breach. There are some feedback about breaches that became introduced to the players at mapping. People have never seen them in the main campaign, so when they get swarmed by monsters - theyre not thinking about changing anything in their character, they come here to say that this is a bad game mechanic. And there is a reason - when you meet them at a campaign - you are punished for failing by walking back. At maps - youre punished by exp/waystones. And while in acts you can keep in mind that you need to deal with monster swarms and adapt your build accordingly, in maps you need to butcher an established character with much more costly item and skill changes. Im not saying that the unfinished campaign is bad, im just simply trying to prove my point.

Your reading comprehension is showing. I never made such a claim. My position on leagues is that POE2 will be better without them.

PoE 2 would be dead without them. Nobody wants to play Standard forever, that's why its a ghost town in PoE 1.

Which one is it: they do or don't see them in the campaign?
