what are the benefits of NS? I see absolutely none.
1. You have your paragon pool from all previous seasons as well as all of your amassed materials.
2. No objectives, challenges or conquests to pressure you into completing unnecessary tasks.
3. Not having to create or rebirth a character and level them up every freaking season.
4. The freedom to play your own pace without an "ending soon" looming around the corner.
5. New items added are no longer "Seasons First," so there is no longer a requirement to roll a seasonal character in order to try them out sooner.
Yes, you miss out on increasing your stash space, adding new portrait art or pennents/pets/transmogs exclusive to season play. Suggestively, for the casual player, this is the ideal mode to play. Once players get the maximum stash space increase, we may very well see more Normal (stop calling it Non-Season!) Mode players. That is, unless they find new and very alluring rewards. I suggest much better pennants, as I'm not a fan of any of them.
Either way, to each their own. Play Seasonal or Normal. Just play and have fun.
