I thought you said, "good" when I first read that, lol! Yes, the last patch was just so GOOD, nobody wanted a new season!
WHEN START SEASON 39?
Median is dead fellas. Marco jumped ship, and there are 2 remaining people scribbling ideas for this mod.
Balance has been dogshit for a few years now. Class value has been lopsided, half of the sets are worthless and most of the sacred uniques have no use, and the irony is that a guy named "SuchBalance" was in charge of balancing key factors in MXL.

not sure personal insults will help the season to start earlier 
Adding forum gold was a good idea to sustain balance for few seasons however now the market is flooded and you count on whales (if there is one) who donates more FG into market + pateron subs. So money is kinda low for additional stuff. The time required to make balance between 2 people where only patreon subs or trusted people can provide feedback (0 place in discord, forum is not visited by 80-90% playerbase after 2-3 weeks of new season) is hard. New players (or old returning ones) screamed MEDIAN XL too hard everywhere in discord/forum meanwhile players that spent lot of time or play new builds (or both) had no problems doing such content even before hard buffs. Look at how many things were buffed or added. Most of this is charms, 3 uber runeword quests, easier way to roll stats on charms. If you count (4-5) previous seasons, most of meta build from this time and upwards, have no problems to reach content up to sescheron and T8 if player is experienced with mod. New angelics are BIS for most of builds so old sets/runewords/SU are used for a while.
I think biggest (of my personal) issue with balancing that's right now is: changing items based on meta builds (there's buff for reworked/buffed build) -> thing's too op -> do not nerf skills -> nerf items?? I still do not understand previous change for Vilehand (Leather Gloves)

Maybe, but still 10000x better then Classic, Resurrected, and most arpgs out there. There's a reason many of us are still here instead of there. Every aarpg has balance issues, but MXL is leaps and bounds better than most. What would improve the game is impossible for a rag-tag team of modders: two full new acts to the base game. That is really what this game needs, but that will never happen.
I wonder how extending the part of the game nobody cares about and tries to speedrun would help? What this game actually needs is balance where 90% of the builds wont feel like absolute pos to play and difficulty where 95% of the charms arent taken as granted due its laughable difficulty.

Some of us played it even when the only option was offline.
