understand your point of view but not totally agree with it
the best player/tryharder who know very good poe1 AND poe2 are always the first to go to endgame and capable of create nice build who works well
so yes new season are really new (and the fact that the game is in EA is a big explanation for that imo)
take time to play and learn the core of the game is good for each season imo
