Because your best argument for FFA vs Ploot is cheats. Which is a separate issue to begin with. Basically you’re saying if blizzard actually did their job an fixed cheats then ploot is pointless.
I do not think the Louvre is going to be posting D2/D2:LoD/D2R on its wall. I would consider for my personal enjoyment posting one of these Mona Lisa variants on my walls of my house. Likewise, I play D2/D2:Lod/D2R in my house.
So you’re basically modding. Good for you. Still irrelevant though.
Yes I would prefer that they do their job.
Where does that leave us? We already know they will not. So this is a passive fix that might be attractive to them. This, in no way, means I excuse Blizzard’s lack of attention on the issue. Stop making up strawmans.
This would fix the Pickit script issue and open MFing up to public games. And it would do that without affecting the economy or meta of the game. You spazzing out about it does not negate these truths.
We already know they will not? That’s actually entirely up to the player base. If they know that everyone like you will just roll over an settle for bad game design because they don’t want to hold blizzard accountable then yeah Diablo is dead. But if you actually have read there bnet rules for D2R they actually are trying to make an attempt to fix them. D2 Was the Wild West… D2R will not be the wild west if they hold players accountable for the rules they have set in place. Cheats/scripts/duping are banable on D2R.
I’m confused as to why you think both can’t be done at the same time. Why not institute ploot, and also hold blizzard accountable?
Cause ploot is unnecessary an can’t coexist with FFA as an option. One is superior to the other by being easier. An Fixing cheats/hacks/scripts/bots should already be blizzards #1 priority on every game they produce. This is exactly why they have been declining.
I’d be fine with that. Then we could see how things were going.
Second time I have seen people being able to reach a compromise on how to implement Ploot (the other was making it Private games only). Not so bad, considering the state of the forum, imo.
Blizzard will never fix cheats though, so that is a bit irrelevant.
Anyway, I agree that the cheating aspect in FFA is not the part benefit of Ploot.
I will say this like the other guy asked me earlier. I don’t care if ploot is an option on non ladder. That play mode is just a graveyard to competitive players anyway. Ladder however should be FFA only.
Nah you ruined it. See how its going? You want to use it as a trial run to cry for more. Ladder is a competition. There are winners and loosers.
Give and inch you take a mile.
Well, just in case you ended up realizing you wanted it in ladder too 
If not, it could stay non-ladder.
just fix L2P issues and stop blaiming scripts/pickit…stop trying to hide behind nonsence
u mean passive fix for L2P issue? stop asking nonsence and instead try to fix the real issues instead blaiming scripting…lame excuses…
here’s one for u. PLOOT ain’t Qol change! got it? doubt a bit…there’s no room for ultimate leecher mode.
well why are u asking ploot then? so u want ploot because u cannot get any loot…and then u say u can get everything in FFA… 
true. and thats why there will never be a room for ploot!
u can go have those public mf games in D3 there’s ploot so no need to fix L2P issues and u get everything for free.
sorry to say but posting something that has already been taken back what was said by brevik is just sad plotter try
all we hear is scripting 
once more scripting…
will u ever stop? scriiiiipppppttttt
okay was enough time to ignore trolls
Having an opposing point of view is not “trolling”. And this is a fantastic fix to the script issue. You not liking it is irrelevant.
The big difference is he is a customer that bought a product that never said it would come with ploot. An you’re a customer who wants to change core elements of a remaster with options that never were advertised. So in the end blizzard will default to the original game since you guys want to fight about it an never change anything regarding loot.
Why can’t we just do two different types of realms that can never be merged (ie like softcore vs hardcore)….
Wouldn’t everyone win?
how the hell do this thread have so many posts? xD
its simple, make your own password protected game 
i know this is not you want, but this qwill make it personal loot rofl.
cant believe this needed to be so many posts… i havnt read all, but it doesnt seem like “purists” screams the loudest 
i know im firing some guys up now! :o
I assume the major issue is splitting the playerbase. You already have a split via softcore and hardcore, then another with non-ladder and ladder. I don’t think it’s good for the longevity of the game to add yet another division to it. That or we risk making limitless cliquey realms.
Fear of splitting the playerbase is overrated imo.
There are plenty of splits already, and they do no harm. HC is not taking anything away from SC or vice versa.
Besides, even if you do believe splits would be problematic, the harm done by taking away the classic 1.14 experience is much much worse.
People in these “groups” do not seem interested in playing together either. So where is the loss?
Compared to how few are playing D2 now, you will be drowning in players for both realms in D2R anyway.
they took out us west and us east for just NA now so it would be the same number of divides as d2 has.
also if they remove asia and EU to just be 1 global server like they have suggested it would be fewer.

Oh good point, I forgot about the realm squishing, so maybe it won’t be as bad? That’s the troubling thing about hypotheticals though. I hate making changes without knowing the outcome, myself.
