I quit because both ways to Ascend the ''labs'' are horrible. Bring back IZARO'S LAB PLEASE.

I fell deeply in love with PoE1's Labyrinth. The most fun, challenging and balanced way to ascend yet. In PoE2 I absolutely hate both ''labs'' or ''way to ascend''.

It is the reason I am quitting again PoE2. I would of stayed but the principle behind it is so bad, I cannot let myself waste more time to fail again at the 3rd ascendancy.

Problem: first Both trial of the Sekemas and Trial of chaos are boring and frustrating, they don't have any soul VS Izaro's lab. I absolutely dislike that they require a super rare currency to even open them. Not only is it super easy to die, lose exp as death penalty, you lost the currency to open it in the first place, which is super rare and sold for many exalts on the trade.

PoE1? Free, no currency, just meet level requirements and attempt as many times as you want.

Back to the PoE2 ascending, it takes way too long to ascend. The risk isn't even worth the reward of ascending. 3rd ''lab'' if you will to get to 6 ascendancy points takes around 45 mins. It's atrocious to die on the second to last door. Which happened to me yesterday. 1 more room before the final boss and my 45 minutes were gonna be an investment. But no, I died because of that terrible system called ''honour''.

You can think ''get good'' random player.

But I just want to say, I have seen Jonathan listen to the player base and I have faith in him and everyone of you guys to make this game the best game ever.

This season has been insanely fun and the sprint, faster boots, slower monsters although still too fast, the game got much much more fun and positive overall!

But I am very sad to quit because the ascending system gate keeps the fun and final ascendancy points away for my build to work.

Please, this is my wish, bring back IZARO'S LABYRINTH with the exact same system!!!!! no currency to open, just find and do the trials in the campaign, then boom lab.

What about the penalty? Dying in PoE1 and 2 is enraging enough as it is, stop there.
