Perf roll on an item doesn’t save me 9 out of 10 hours grind.
If I only have 1 hour to play per day, I won’t waste it on Den of Evil, Trist or any other crap TZ, because they are neither rewarding nor fun to play. So I just won’t play D2R. If I had the option to grind WSK, Tombs or Chaos which is rewarding even in group play and much more fun, I’d play every day.
D2R isn’t a “must play”. And random TZs are killing the game even more than sunder charms or mosaic.
Before TZ you had crap xp, but at least you had fun together and grouped to share Nila/Dia and Baal XP with a baalparty, just to push the few high levels in group. It was way more fun to play as a group than now everybody fighting to get solo xp in a P8 game in a crap TZ.
Since we are all on the same page here, why even argue? They suck as they are now. They kill the motivation to play because of crap zones and random zones. It’s time for Blizz to change them or D2Rs lifespan will be very short.
