Talisman was less obviously "farmable," but Rigwald was pretty damn easy at low ilvl and dropped guaranteed uniques much like Atziri, only they were actually worth something unlike Atziri, not to mention the ability to just flat out sell necks. Like Rigwald and Talismans, Perandus will probably disappear to history unless they add it as a map mod or something, and there will be some new league that gives us free stuff for people to be excited about. GGG has obviously learned that leagues that impact the economy do much better and are played for much longer, which is why the last several leagues have all intentionally been economy-impacting. Let's examine the first leagues that were 100% shit - nemesis (nothing but artificial difficulty increase for no reason) snorefest, invasion (extreme artificial difficulty and map cockblock for no reason) snorefest, bloodlines (nemesis but for blue packs WAOW) snorefest, onslaught (literally just a dps increase for mobs...fun?) snorefest. Beyond is the only league they made that was even remotely relevant past simply making the game hard-mode-standard, and it was their best league mechanically in my opinion. It's also one of their least popular leagues of all time if I'm not mistaken, and the ocean of tears that flooded the forum and reddit can still be felt to this day in people's cold, dark memories.
