    I don’t understand the point of seasons. I don’t want to start a new character every 90 days.

      It’s mostly to maintain user engagement. It’s a way to bring players back every now and then.

          Well it works best if the game is actually good.

          A game that does seasons very well is Deep Rock Galactic. Each season comes with fresh new content. Old seasons can be revisited if you missed them, so no stress. The new additions to the game are permanent, which adds great variety to the missions. Progress follows between seasons, so no need to create new characters from scratch.

          Most importantly: the game is really good as well.

      I don’t mind an option. Some people enjoy the start more than the finish. “Alt-itis”

        Sure, but does the season content get added to the permanent league? As far as I know, it doesn’t, but I could be wrong.

          Guess not.

          For me the first two-the weeks are the best anyway. Everyone starts fresh, the economy is fresh, activity is happening.

          Gives the game new life

          Diablo bores me, but with PoE it’s very exciting. And with every league you pay you become better at the game, so the next league you know more and you’ll make stronger characters and farm better items
