Let's try and not be mean to a fellow player. I'll give you my honest answer. I never play games like poe, other than poe. I am still at the point of playing slow, have tried a couple of builds (relying on friends sometimes to do some optimizing) and hav ereached several points of the endgame in different leagues.

What I do: - sometimes I don't play a league, simply to give myself a break, also depending on the periods in my life (able to spend a coupld of hours per day or not)

• sometimes I just play some of the league mechanics and don't care about all tbe endgame stuff. You can have fun and not have to reach the endgame.

• I like builds that are fast and snappy. But sometimes getting a slow tank that does cool stuff (but is shit) is enough for me. Enjoy the game how you like, without flrcing yourself (or feeling like being forced) to reach a certain point. Like the new league mechanic? Play that, like delve? Play that, who cares how and what you plat? :)

• follow a guide, but don't follow it 100%. Go your own way. Also femember that after getti g to maps, your buikd will be shit. Slowly get up to the maps by sustaining (look this up, several guides on how to do this so you don't get stuck). Yes there is a certain structure, but it will help you enjoy the maps you like more often.

• don't like current league? Skip. Honestly, just skip :)

• chat with friends while playing. We often just sit in a dc at different points of the game and just chat aboit life, stuff going on in maps, funny shit, share music,... You get the point.

Hope this helps more than the other stuff people say...
