It's just because of today's gamers.. D2 mostly has a player base that grew up loving D2. Just entitled, spoiled, participation trophy kids that don't have a clue what they want with new releases today. Impossible to please. Rod Ferguson nailed it when he said "They wanted D4 to be like D2, so we made the loot system that way, and then they whined about it because gimmie ancestral now" I left the diablo series entirely once POE2 dropped, I do only play SSF though, so it's a much better experience imo.

I actually love the atlas, maps and towers, I have a monk in SSF still at sort of the starting area, I have all of the towers beaten in that whole area, with really good tablets in them and with my gear and tablets combined I am at about 130% rarity, only running t-10ish maps ATM, but it's hella fun. It's also really rewarding as I was wondering if I might run into a wall with my build on SSF, but it's been the opposite. Currency drops are amazing now.

I can't make myself log back into D4 after playing PoeII. I played all of the D4 seasons up until this latest one. PoEII has it's hooks in me and I can't go back to any of the other arpg now. I played a couple of seasons in Poe 1 over the years, but always felt so far behind and overwhelmed, but now that I have learned a majority of the mid/late game crafting, I can't get enough of it. Rip D4 for me.
