Path of Exile devs reject campaign skip, plan to refresh campaigns instead

Grinding Gear Games says the 10-act league campaign remains required before entering endgame. Developers oppose a campaign-skip option, arguing it reduces player investment and satisfaction. Rather than add a skip, they plan to keep campaigns fresh each league and maintain the requirement for PoE and PoE2 leagues.

• 10-act campaign required each league (about 20 hours for new players)
• Developers say they will not add a campaign-skip option
• Reason given: skipping reduces care for characters and devalues progression
• Plan: refresh and update campaigns each league instead of offering skips
