Allot of people here on this forum always have incredible cringe suggestions about what should change or what should be different. Blizzard does not even hotfix game bugs anymore or even make servers playable let alone do anything about anything.
The way Blizzard treats it fanbase and products with this sort of stuff shows you that they do not really care, yet people still be pre-ordering the new Diablo 4 expansion pack with no braincells left and drool over the next blizzard scam product.
For the love of god blizzard fix your server man, this stuff is dumb as hell… D2R does not even have that much player traffic left anymore what is happing?

The worst thing is that we have paid for this product… the problems are supposed to be solved immediately.

D2R was but a marketing ploy to bring back people to the franchise to be able to expose them to the D4 « hype train »
Once the marketing trick done there was no point keep developing it as it only can hinder D4 performances since D2 is a much more solid game foundation
That’s also why they made tcpip modding impossible since nowadays stuff like nexus mods and Reddit make mods reconnaissance easier

If Diablo 2 was a more solid game foundation they would continue to develop on it, but that’s overall a big Diablo 2 fanboy base COPE. Diablo 2 is outdated as hell, because we still play it is because of childhood mostly.
Its just overall sad how they treat there products, there is no love to it anymore… not even one developer on the blizzard team that has passion for it and fixes some bugs for it in the weekend, nobody at blizzard plays there own games it seems.
There’s 3 sequel to that game…
3 that failed for not following the same foundation
Meanwhile you have Poe which followed the same foundation and has been a success
Also that foundation was scrapped by blizzard not because it was not good but because when Blizzard killed Blizzard North for wanting to keep their autonomy, they completely reviled everything blizzard North created, Jay wilson admitted to it

Big news here, big news…
Show me the proof of that
Because without proof, I could as well say that they lost tons of money
This! So true unfortunately!
As for the other player… I like a game because it is good (mechanics like builds/skill tree/building my stats/crafting/rune words and yes even grinding), not vice versa : “it is good because i like it”(not a logical/mature argument for a conversation). The more a game a stable player base, the better it is, especially 2 decades after the last expansion.
The fact that blizzard made a lot of money only proves the hype not the quality of a game. In fact try to imagine after 20 years D4 bringing back a huge number of people for 2-3 years (like D2 did) in order to revive the franchise, maybe you do see that happening but I don’t.
Show proof? assuming a game does not cost more then $200M to make and them reporting on it last year summer that they made $666M in profit wich is prob even higher now… what is there to proof? google it.
This is just Diablo4.
The majority of players don’t play the game as intended. (via 3rd party trading, RMT purchasing/selling and/or cheating in general.) And yes I know the in game trading method sucks. I was really hoping they’d add a better in-game trading method, but that hasn’t happened.
A sizeable portion of players want a constant stream of content and features for free.
I fail to see Blizzards incentive to give a damn about this game.
The game was marketed as a remaster. Also, D2:R was sold dirt cheap compared to the original game and expansion adjusted for inflation. We got what we paid for.

Makes sense what you are saying, it also proofs that if the company itself does not include RMT the people itself will… and kill the game themselves. I don’t justify it but that’s just reality.
I was grinding for Ral runes on Normal to sell them for ists, and traded the ists for items i needed ingame… pretty broken system if you tell me.
If you don’t have the cost, only the revenu
You can’t claim you have a proof of profitability
And profitability isn’t what dictates a success or a Flop
Investors investing with a promise of 100%(fictitious number) value increase in their investment and then get 4%
Sure it’s profitability… but it’s a flop due to it not performing well
Breaking even or close to it doesn make a success
I don’t have cost because its not public information and i do not work at blizzard, stop being a whataboutism kind of person. Its safe to assume that the game is making a profit without being a well ACHUTUALLY about it. Diablo is a big game name Afterall.
I also didn’t “claim” anything you are a exhausting stereotype internet person holy.
What issue are you having with the server? I have experienced no issues this entire season. I cannot even remember one FTJ or lag session?
EU servers are pretty much unplayable.
