They’re worried it will end sooner for them than it does usually. Which I understand to a point.
That said, I’m of the opinion that I’d like getting to GR 150 should be achievable with some work but if you like the theme as much I’m hoping I will then puting the work in won’t seem as much like a chore and thus will be easier through that.
I loved the ethereal theme. So I played a lot that season, it also boost power enough, that hitting that first platue took you higher in GR tiers.
I earned nearly 3000 paragon that season and I completed a GR 140. If the theme this time is a bit more powerful and tons of fun, I would like to finally complete a 150 with the same effort I put in that ethereal season.
That said, I’m understand that “casuals” (god I hate that label) would like to get that goal as well. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if they’re able to.
But like I said, I hope the theme is fun enough and that people enjoy it enough to put a little more effort into the season than they would normally also.
