PoE 2 Early Acces Data

Hi, on the early acces Q&A you said, all data from early acces after 1.0 game relase will go into "early acces league" intead standard.
What is the reason behind that? After 1.0 relase nobody ever will be able to make a new character on "early acces league" anymore so the economics will be dead there.
Why not just let peoples play their early acces characters on standard after relase? (i know some of builds might not work, or items might be changed, but still).
Maybe just dont make any legacy items till 1.0 relase (any item balance changes will affects all existing items till 1.0) and the problems will be fixed.
I am standard poe 1 player my self, that's why i am worried that after early acces, i will have to start all over in standard again to be able to play with some player base with live economy.
GGG please fix!

Because a lot of those EA chars will be broken good and loaded with ridiculous currency and they don’t want the standard ‘league’ diluted and destroyed by that. I don’t but a lot of people enjoy standard, bugged and broken stuff from an effective open beta doesn’t belong in game after EA

Only care for standard I have is I use it to test drive a potential league starter whilst tinkering with PoB, and I don’t use and or care about any legacy item (except my goddess unleashed cos it’s rare as hell on Xbox and I believe I have one of approx 3 on Xbox).
That said it’s a deal of some and those some deserve to be protected for busted beta stuff!

You are basically (judging by your banners or maybe the willingness to pay 30$ to beta test) asking for a head start and busted gear advantage over those that join the game at time of proper release and like standard.

That's why the solution would be not to relase any legacy items from early acces into 1.0 relase.

There is like 25000% fire resist armour on standard since few years, i dont think that destoryed standard in anyway. But even if so, its still not fixed so i think they mostly focus on new leagues rather then standard balancing.

Well, i am mostly standard player, so if they make separate early acces league for those data after relase, its basicly wiped, because nobody will play there anymore, because no new player will appear there ever. Its also not about "head start" everybody from early acces would have keep their progress in standard after relase. I spend over 1000$ in life time support and let's be fair. If somebody dont have acces to poe 2 yet, or will not buy early acces supporter pack, what "head start" we even talk about?

I am just feeling that playing at least 6 months to 1 year of early acces, and then when it ends my progress will be wiped into dead league where nobody will play anymore, feels bad for me as standard player. Thats why i ask if there is still hope that they may change it for players like me. Thanks

You know, there is like 0.0001% chance that EA lacks of signifying bugs and it's pretty stable so they will decide move it to standard, but let's be honest, it will be wild shit there.

@crokodylek

Standard today has broken stuff and imo economy but that’s after years and years. Imagine that day one on PoE2 release, no thanks (I don’t play standard but those that do and anyone new that decides to would hate it imo)
