Yeah I'm in the same boat. Absolutely love the game and tend to get a character to maps every second league or so but holy moly does the amount of league mechanics get rough. I feel like I'm watching 3 hours of YouTube tutorials every league to remind me how to do everything.

Me too, except I guess I don't play it all anymore. I remember the early leagues felt really fresh and interesting, but somewhere along the line the complexity creep became too much for me to keep up with. I also felt like incorporating so many past mechanics into the base game made new league mechanics feel less special and important since they eventually just blended into the already existing soup of sub-systems.

I hope PoE 2 can be a fresh start and a blank slate. GGG have many good ideas, so I'm hopeful.
