You don't need to make a perfect character to delete end game. You can wear a tabula and you are already deleting bosses.
i did
! i realized that i didnt want to invest much because 1) meta shifts tend to kill both chars and equipment and 2) i get banned a lot and that would mean i wasted time. but i got bored

only if you play super meta shit do they totally decimate a character usually
but mostly playing leagues not standard so 3-4 months is plenty of time to go from 0 to hero a at least once if not twice or more.
you dont need to make a perfect character...
have you even played poe? there are more than a dozen end game systems to engage with, multiple forms of "Crafting" (gambling) items lots of aspirational content to work towards as an incentive to build more character power for their unique rewards that only they drop you can stop whenever you want, get to maps and get bored? cool stop but i get to red maps then start trying to super juice with deli, scarabs, sextants, master missions, etc its fun to be able to also control the content you want to engage with. force legion or blight or whatever in every zone if you like it or eliminate it so you dont have to engage with it if you hate it
ofc i played it
crafting was kinda fun for me back when it was at least somewhat deterministic, even after they repeatedly nerfed plants it was usable, but i think crafting died for me when they introduced those red yellow and purple thingies that you use to pay the plants, they removed everything i liked about crafting then, and ofc had some PR shit to say such as "we feel that this crafting method is more engaging.." or some shit like that, and the moment i read that first line i knew its gonna be an absolute to-the-ground nerf for plants
and chars always get fucked into oblivion even if you ignore the items, every patch they reset and reposition skills and gems and you have to remake the chars on standard
thats actually why no one plays standard, people expect one thing from standard and its permanence, and there is ofc none to be found in poe. everything in poe is made to be used "in the moment". thats why the only chars on standard are those who are able to retain permanence, meaning those who are there as visual trophies (as trophy items dont get changed visually). thats why size +/- items and alt arts are so expensive even when controlled for rarity. d2 for example had a lot of nonladder players and those were mostly pvp chars. you create it, you perfect it, and it stays there in case you wanna duel! in poe nothing stays as you left it, and you cant even duel
sooo to me, its just repetitive and soulless and boring. i get to maps, get some high lvl shit, and why exactly? for it to be worthless in the next league? im not one of those guys for whom "its the journey, not the destination". fuck that new age shit, i like building things, i dont wanna redo and relearn everything every 3 months
i see looking at the numbers that a lot of people seem to like that, although i personally cant understand it
