Can we please finally have all belts have equal belt space. It makes no sense that only normal quality belts differ in the number of potions you can hold.

It also makes no sense we have to pay for mercenaries or repairs or gear or anything…don’t the NPCs want us to succeed? Why are they charging us so much?
Oh right, because it’s an ARPG.

No. We don’t need another buff to sorc

It buffs Normal Set and Unique belts.
Your argument is about convenience, sorcs will still have access to cheap mana pots from vendors they can fill their inventory with regardless of belt size
you can upgrade them and they will have 4 rows

You don’t say? Not using a set or unique belt when actually leveling because of the the reduced belt space shouldn’t matter because you can upgrade it later to be inferior to what you can find in NM. Sounds like a plan…
Decisions are part of the game. Stats or rows. Don’t know how you don’t get this.
They are the lowest of the low for a reason and drinking pots from inventory messes with your teleport direction while drinking from belt does not.

maybe change it so belts could roll random number of potion slots. maybe with a better chance to roll higher number on higher ilvl.
Because this decision only exists in the first 27 levels of the game where spamming pots is actually important. Than its Insight and no longer a worry 
So your argument is due to teleporting between 18 and 27? Because no other caster exist in the game early on?
Arguing for “decisions” as a part of the game than let’s move it back in the opposition direction. Should exceptional and elite belts also have the same slots as Normal counterparts? I mean there should be tradeoffs no?
You are getting petty here.
you get 3 rows already in act1, at latest in act2. the last row opens up at act4. You are more likely to not find a unique/set belt before you have a belt with 4 rows.
There are tradeoffs concerning str requirement and stats.
Is normal really so hard for you that you need 4 rows of pots? Maybe we can organize some training camp for you, to teach you how to finish norm with only 3 rows.

Oh? Stats? Like Demonhide Sash/Sharkskin Belt both requiring only 20 Strength over a Belts 25 Strength requirements? Must be such a tradeoff…
It’s not hard but low level uniques and set belts are largely useless primarily due to the convenience of belt space during a time when utilization of mana pots is commonplace.
That’s precisely the point. Once you already have a 4 row belt and ya find a normal unique or Set piece, the utility of said piece is greatly diminished…
they would still be hot garbage with 4 rows. Because the stats on them are not good enough compared to the exceptional or elite belts. If the stats would be so good, upgrading them wouldn’t be an issue.
because those items are “rare” and “bad”. If you find death gloves and belt, they are still great and nobody cares about the 2 rows. If you find hsarus boots and belt, nobody cares about the 3 rows. Those items usually just don’t drop in pairs when you need them.
Your problem are not 2 vs 4 rows in a belt. Your problem are garbage norm items that don’t drop.
So they should be “usable” in Normal at least?
You just said that it’s hard to find just a single unique or set belt before ya get a Plated Belt. Now, all of a sudden, you are finding multiple set pieces of a single set in a normal playthrough?
they are.
Seems like reading a complete text and understanding it is not your strength.
for you in full:
Contradict yourself much?
Oh so the slot spaces are just an irrelevant nuance of Normal game play that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the game? Got it.
Not at all, the point was valid still. You went from calling individual pieces garbage to indicating that multiple sets make them worthwhile all while insting that upgrading normal belts to exceptional isn’t worthwhile even though that is where your argument originally started
It makes perfect sense that a lower quality and cheaper item is not on par with a more exepensive/harder to acquire item.
Its like saying why cant you just make my Prius as fast as a Corvette?
Earning better gear through gameplay is a part of your characters journey.
I can also say its like. Why cant i just start out at lvl 99? It makes no sense I have to level up.

Not even remotely. They are usable and they can benefit you.
finally
Nope.
Look at all the normal belts, sets and unique. Then filter out all those that have already 4 rows. So we are at a very small pool of items that are useful only in combination with more set pieces or only worth using in normal. They are not bad because they only got 2-3 rows, they are bad because they don’t provide a lot of valuable stats.
So my argument is and was consistently that they are not very good and don’t decide if you can finish norm or not.
2nd argument is and was, if you want 4 rows, you can upgrade them for very little cost to 4 row belts if you want to use them.
3rd argument was that set items only provide good value in combination with other set pieces. like death set or hsarus set. both don’t have 4 rows, but provide stats you might want to use in normal and nightmare.
Seems like you are a little slow in the head and I don’t have enough colored crayons to explain it to you.
What’s hard about vendor purchases? Also the difference in gold is largely irrelevant as gold is virtually worthless in game
That is a false dichotomy…
Another false dichotomy…
You realize that Belt space is the only variable in gear that only differs in Normal quality? And that belt space is largely a convenience factor and not a direct power gains? It’s also a means of increasing inventory space when an inventory of charms isn’t a normal but where trips to town can be prolonged due to running out of mana potions…
Try this. Do it irl or use your imagination.
Find a regular belt or head down the craft store and and buy a small lentgh of fabric.
The run over to the package store and buy 12 nips. (You know the like plastic bottles = to about 1 shot…I dont know why I am explainging this how could you think nip means something else)
Then procced over to the nearest title holder/champ and knock him/her out and take that belt.
See how many nips you can fit in each belt.
Having less spots for potions fits in with the fantasy of starting out with bad gear and working up to better gear.
Your argument wreaks of the millennial mentality or just flat out cognative dissonance.
Oh look…
So which is it? Only in Normal? And earlier ya said you wouldn’t normally find a set/unique belt before you buy a plated belt off a vendor.
And that when examined individually, vendor bought belts are the better choice.
For which you have clearly indicated that the stats on such belts don’t warrant an upgrade outside of niche set combos
Which this clearly reinforces
When you resort to ad hominem attacks…
Oh the irony…
Your real life example is hilarious.
It’s like arguing that you can magical fit more “nips” in a Demonhide Sash over a Sash even though the dimensions are identical but because you used slightly finer/rarer material.
