Because you're complaining about not being able to use highly overleveled characters. And the you still have to wait even outside of the league.

Who would it hurt to allow people to play the new content on high level characters to experience it right away and for the first time?

Would it give us some kind of edge? No, not in the least.

I happen to have only a character in Merciless and I was looking forward to go to the new content right away and learn about the story and see the new Acts. Now I either have to leave my main unplayed and slog through the old content AGAIN with a new character, or play my main and spoil all the quest endings by picking up the rewards.

Locking anyone out of playing the new content without a good reason is weird is all I'm saying.
And no, "it was intended this way" is not a good reason in itself.

Existing Characters and the New Content:

Characters that had previously completed The Ribbon Spool in Merciless difficulty will have automatically completed all mandatory quests in The Fall of Oriath, and have immediate access to maps. These characters will not have any of the quest rewards from the mandatory quests in Acts 5 through 10, but can receive them by talking to the questgivers. No side quests will be automatically completed, and existing characters will have to receive and complete these quests to obtain the quest rewards.
Any characters that had completed Act 4 in Normal but had not completed The Ribbon Spool in Merciless have been returned to the end of Act 4.
All characters that had completed the Deal with the Bandits quest in Act 2 Normal now have the Eramir reward of 2 passive skill points. All bandit rewards from Cruel and Merciless no longer exist. Players who want to change their bandit reward choice have a one-time-only option to change it by talking to Eramir and taking one of his books. These books are character-locked, so if you decide later that you don't want to change your choice, you can get rid of the book by typing /destroy. This does not give you another opportunity to choose a bandit reward, so choose carefully!
All Prophecies, Hideouts, Forsaken Masters and Labyrinth trials have been maintained and work as normal.

Your point?

[BerryG]

reading comprehension is often underestimated.

[Vladimir]

So is copy-paste.

They have stated before that any character who got the spool in act 3 cruel would already have Acts 6-10 auto completed. Keep in mind that the nature of this game is to create new characters to try new builds, that is where the longevity comes from.

you kinda getting this wrong, if you did this quest in cruel it only does the Side Quest in Acts 6-10 auto complete, not the Main Story. you would still have to go though with your high level char though the acts to finish the story, just wouldnt have to do the side quest for skill points and stuff.

You got it backwards. You don't need to do main story stuff except talking to people for rewards and you need to do the side quests on your own.

If you are not playing in the new Temp league I don't know why you are even playing PoE in the first place.

Lmao kid you're slow in the head XD

Okay let's do this right:
Devs made the auto completion so that a high level char could still use the map device if he didn't want to replay all acts with that char.
It's just completion, meaning you still have to redo the areas for the Side quests.
also it's only for hl chars, meaning for standard league... who cares about the trash league, it's just there to test builds, go play challenge leagues guys...

It must be tiring to go from post to post and mitigate the damage GGG did with this launch... You are paid by number of positive posts about the game?
