I want hardcore nerfs to classes instead. Making monster more robust or stronger will make it much harder for the average builds. Meabwhile sorc and pala still laugh at every buffed enemy.
the prob with weaker classes is they kill slow
adding dmg to monsters doesn’t make much impact on that front
pala will laugh but sorc will get smacked more often
People complaining about ‘making the game easier’ never actually qualify what this means. To them, anything that makes the game easier is bad and its all the same to them. That includes removing inconveniences from 20 years ago that serve no game play purpose.
You know what else made the game easier?
Auto gold pickup
Better servers
Gamble refresh
Shared stash(can’t lose items as easily to realm down)
More people to play with because the game isn’t dead like LOD
And so on.
There is no good reason to not make this sort of change. Its clearly worth it at the expense of making the game “easier” in an incredibly vague and loosely connected way, just like every other change they complain about. Not every change that makes the game easier does so in the same way, and so many of them are not worth worrying about in this respect.
Adding a refresh to vendors will make bots have an easier time to scout for certain items with even less effort. I do agree its somewhat a QoL but it needs to be done with certain balance to items availible at the shops aswell. Bot sittin in town a5 searching for +3 trap +3 certain trap skill claws will be an easy investment for some and probably hard to spot. Anyway, I see it could be a good QoL thing that is pretty easy for them to implement, just adjust some items from the shops to not be abused by even more botters. There is more items that they can have bots browse for that have value with the right stats etc but in general I think it sounds like a reasonable idea.
If you gauge whether a change should be made by how it will impact botting you basically cannot change anything. Botting is going to happen and nothing is going to change that. Its already rampant. Not making the change just means it will only be bots vendoring stuff.
