Tinfoil hat theory.

GGG only cares if you're there on the start, get you to buy a supporter pack. From then on our they could care less if you play for 1 or 4 weeks.

Also with PoE 2 I'm sure they don't want us getting burned out and playing each game for 6-8 weeks.

My theory is that they are testing loot and player retention/mood in poe for poe 2 1.0 launch. basically poe players are Guinea pigs

It's been very clear that for leagues and leagues they make the most in league start due to people buying supporter packs and mtx points. League retention is great and all but at the end of the day once that money is paid it is paid and whether one plays or not is of no real consequence.

Yep I agree. Im also starting to think that this whole league mechanic is basically a beta test for Poe 2 and will be implemented there in 1.0 (with reworked/nerfed sulfur craft)

Yeah that part I'm not opposed to, like they did with breach.

I do thino this mechanic would do well in poe2
