Nobody tell him the level cap is going to 70 with the expansion.

This is ridiculous they added more levels? Unbelievable!

Leveling is the best part of each season. I wish we could re-do the campaign each season, too.
Currently you’re locked out of all things seasonal & Torment until you finish the campaign completely, though.
Anyhow, OP is a terrible hot take. Leveling is fun. It’s the best. Getting to the Torment rat race that much quicker is a hard pass.
Be cool to see an old fashioned leveling mode where each Act has a difficulty increase on our way to level 70! Act 1 normal, then act 2 hard, etc… or maybe due to the number of acts 1 and 2 on normal. Then by Vessel and Lord of Hatred you’re on Penitent or perhaps even Torment 1 by LoH.
Call it Campaign Progression Mode from D2 and early D3

..a second time. But the first time you ever play a class, leveling is how you learn how to play your class. That is why my next sentence said:
OK hear me out. Since some just do not want to play the game and level, I have a new 3rd mode outside of normal & hardcore. We can call it a special accomplishment reward for doing nothing.
So player creates a new character, names it, creates the ‘look’ and then clicks next. But instead of actually entering the game a window appears “You special needs child, you did it!” and the character is bumped to level 70/Paragon 300 and has all gear maxed out. The character is not actually playable (because after all that is what they want to avoid) but they have that special little feeling of accomplishment (when accomplishing nothing).

tip just for this season to level up fast: you can get to 60 in 1-2 hours just standing around the azmodan boss open world spawn and mooch boss kill exp.
I want you to remember the people that tell you to “just play eternal” because later, anytime you post anything about Eternal constantly getting screwed over/gear reset the exact same people are going to tell you “just play seasonal” or ask you “why would you bother playing eternal”.

Jemuzu, you’re completely correct. This is why they should just delete Eternal mode. That way no one is tempted to use it.

I would rather remove endgame than levelling. Not that either should be removed.
Levelling should however be somewhat longer, and way more relevant.

As someone who enjoys leveling, I’d prefer if this game did NOT have leveling.
It’s not actually real content or game play, yet we still have to waste time doing it.
It’s too fast to appease people who like leveling and too slow for people who don’t like leveling. Both types of people end up unhappy by trying to appease both.
Just delete it and let us start at cap in every season, it’s just a pointless time waster in it’s current form.
thats what id agree on with you, as leveling certainly is still too fast in my opinion. Removing it tho cant and shouldnt be an option, that way we can just turn d4 into vampire survivors.

Pleasing everyone is generally quite unlikely, for any topic in games.
Though what Blizzard could do here is use Eternal for those who dont like lvling. It should have all the same content as the current season, and they should stop destroying gear of course.
Then lvling could be made significantly slower, and much more relevant for your overall power progression, for those who like it.
I don’t see logic in removing lvling because it is too fast and a waste of time. By that logic the entire endgame should be removed.
Fix it instead.

lvl 11 means you played for like 10minutes… Maybe you just don’t like ARPGs
Leveling was cool season 1 when the story and content were new. Now I can’t stand it, I have skipped nearly every season since. I try every season and uninstall after I’m reminded how terrible the leveling game is.
There’s nothing fun about getting one shot the second you step out of town while doing no damage to actually kill anything. I don’t want to be frustrated the 8-12 hours of gameplay it takes just to get to the point where I can play the part of the game that actually matters. People don’t play ARPGs for the RPG leveling process. People play to grind the endgame.
Seasons would be a lot more popular if they just gave you a basic geared character at lvl 50 and let you play the game.
Nerf Den of Evil!!!
or worse… OP could try d1 and go to fight Leoric on warrior and then butcher. im sure they would love it
That is funny considering Diablo 2 didn’t have monsters that scaled to your character. You could actually outgear and out level content. There’s zero power fantasy when the mobs get stronger with you 
replace “people” with I and you’ve got something there.
I personally enjoy leveling, and i am not alone.
Honestly even in S11 with a mild increase in difficulty it is nowhere near as hard as D1 or D2
YOU enjoy leveling so everyone must play YOUR fantasy now huh? If everyone enjoyed leveling, Blizzard wouldn’t make millions selling character boosts. Clearly there is a very large percentage of the player base who does not enjoy leveling because their time is worth more than the cost of a character boost
