If only creating a new character wouldn't take so long

how about like, when you have cleared cruel, your new characters starts in cruel at level 35 or whatever with all quests done for normal, and when you cleared merciless you begin in merciless

it would still make you play through the game once but it would be so so much less tedious

and you'd still need to figure out your gear and such

To me is the best part (lvl 1-80)

More like: I'd want to check a build, but I need to reach 65+ first (item reqs.), which means slogging through the same exact linear quest-line, that I've gone through hundreds of times already.

No you don't.

Burn 100 or so regrets and switch up your tree.

If you don't want to spend the time then spend the currency instead.

There's various issues with that:

* it requires to destroy a build, to create a build
* the expenditure is excessive, esp. in new leagues
* you need to have the exact class available

Note that my issue with re-rolling is not the time investment, but how boring that time investment is.

 Hmm... let me get this straight. You want to start at endgame build level and then find out that endgame map grinding and Merc Lab runs are boring as hell and are not "fun to play" because the map tier levels that drop are 99% of the time way below the level needed to be challenging for our build level. So levels 1 to 68 are tedious too long grind and then mapping is too long a grind for leveling xp. Sounds like "the only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"

Just get rich and repecs wont matter.

Or play std and have like 20 characters who get reset every patch and play almost whatever you want at high level when patch drops

Every patch I mess around in std for like a month trying new skills and trees before trying ladder. I pretty much have everything to build anything and free repecs. Its fun. Do a couple levels and decide it's not a fun build like this miner i built. sux when you go through a build and like 85 and find out.

Respeccing a char isnt a solution imo.
Also standard isn't an option for many players, I dont like to have all gear and stuff at my possession without having to do anything.

It really isnt that I dont like progression and that you have to work to get your build working, it's just that levelling through 4 acts 3 times just takes to much time. It would take a couple of days for me, maybe even a week, to get it done. I rather just map with my current character... But as I said if I do that much longer I will quit again soon.

Fun/boring are judgments made at the end of a ride.

More then not, fun is derived from knowing yourself and your desires. Once you got that down, there is very little you can't do without having fun.

Peace,

Blade vortex will carry any character to merciless in roughly 7 hours.

Just equip 2x cybils and screw all other forms of gear and run.
