Path of Exile 2 is no longer an expansion to Path of Exile 1. They will be standalone games with separate game balance, systems and future expansions. Your purchases will still be shared (twitter.com)

I appreciate your response but I have to disagree.

Today I have a bit of free time and might get in a bit of gaming.
But it won't be POE because I didn't really enjoy the last two builds that I played a couple of seasons ago and the one with zombies I played before that doesn't seem super viable anymore.
So I would need to find another build, update my PoB, update my Lootfilter, look if all the trade plug-ins still work and then my free Saturday is half over.

None of those things are enjoyable complexity for me where I can express skill or individuality.
But if I just play without 3rd party stuff I will have a shit build, struggle with the acts and be useless in the endgame.

And that makes me kinda sad because actually playing POE is more enjoyable than the other games you suggested and I don't agree with the sentiment that there is no place for a more casual POE experience.
