>In reality, people hate the campaign because anything you do in the campaign will not matter in any way shape or form when it comes to building your character.
this is also why Diablo 2 is good because stuff you get during campaign is actually relevant even in endgame. For all GGG fellate Diablo 2 they refuse to actually follow in its footsteps, with stuff like mercs and set bonus uniques being relevant even in endgame so you don't resent playing campaign.
Angelic set items are literally lvl 12 in Diablo 2 yet some builds use at least part of its set bonuses even in endgame. GGG fucking HATE uniques and go out of their way to nerf low level ones any time they're actually good. Just this patch, Splinter of Loratta got nerfed by adding "DEAL NO ELEMENTAL DAMAGE" to it as a giant middle finger to people actually using an interesting low level unique as a build enabler in endgame.

Nothing you do in PoE2 matters until you get to maps, and even then you have no incentive to slowly work your way through every tier of maps (unlike in poe1, where you fill out the Atlas by running every map at least once), so there's ANOTHER layer of "nothing here matters" where you ignore t1 to t14 maps to just get to t15s ASAP because GGG make them 100x as rewarding as anything else and 1000x as rewarding as the campaign.
