I was happy when it was going to just be an extension of the base game that made it prettier, smoother, and skyrocketing the already gratuitous content. I was truly looking forward to not having to admit through the same campaign each league for 8 hours. (Guess why I'm not playing Poe 2 0.20...)

Making it a different game was a clear signal that they wanted to follow The Vision that we'd already seen play out with ruthless mode.
