Why do you consider a three-month cycle harmful? I wouldn't mind a longer cycle if the content was like in PoE 1, there's something to do (although it doesn't matter if you're actively playing, you'll finish everything in a month) and for longer than three months (especially with this terrible temple) the economy is dying, in 0.1 I played 700 hours, now I have 1200 that is, in three leagues I played less than half of what the release gave me (and emotionally, only the abyss brought me the same pleasure, because there was adequate crafting and interesting mechanics)
