I decided to reinstall and try the new season after all the positive changes. I forgot how long the campaign takes. I uninstalled it in 30 mins

This is the only thing stopping me from enjoying this game.

My first playthrough of the campaign took me 50 hours to get to mapping. yes this is a bit slow but I had no luck with gearing during the campaign and I had no luck with currency drops. I died a lot and was my character was not strong enough.

I don't want to go through this 25+ hour slog again.

I have an average of 10 hours or so to get to endgame on POE1. If I really lock in I can get the campaign done in one session if I want to.

not the case for poe2. I have to slog through 20+ hours of boring handicapped walking simulator gameplay that's not fun before the real game starts.

I hope they make changes to the game to make leveling new characters more enjoyable.

Won't be playing poe2 until they make some good changes around this.
