well you can be a purist on certain aspects of the game
purist is not only reserved to those who want 100% of the game to stay the same
i do think a lot of parts of the game can have some love work done, but it doesnt mean it cant be done with following the original material spirit
you say drops are fine… most non-runeword are absolute garbage… and improving them wouldnt make the game easier
its called horizontal design
if you buff TierD items up to tierA… it doesnt make the game easier since there are TierS items
you also speak of rifts… sorry this aint D3. Endgame can easily be done while following the existing game concept and thematics
most of the areas of the game are lackluster in term of appeal… adding an endgame like rifts doesnt fix them
im always in favour of fixing whats broken before adding more stuff on top
also… you claim to like Immunities…which are a big fun hinderer and doesnt bring real difficulty
the majority of people dont like Immunity system.
and it could easily be fixed while making the game challenging for real
and this would allow more builds to be possible… that would give you more content to experience
