PlayerX command is needed because of anti-social design of D2. What’s that? The current loot system and the griefing PK. Why else are 95% of magic-find games run privately and public games are just exping.
Remove anti-social design that incentives solo-play then we won’t ask for PlayerX command. But don’t blame the command for it when it is a mere byproduct.
Besides that, what if I want to enjoy ladder classic/hardcore? Not many players to begin with and conflicting schedules stopping us from playing together all the time.
Your ploot counter-argument is slippery slope fallacy.
