Unfortunate Truth: Diablo 3 is/was more balanced and has better ladder

[Zahramar-21937]

D3 also was way more successful than D2/D2R ever were (and will be if they keep pandering to “purist”):

Diablo III first 24 hours sales are almost as much as D2R's 6+ month sales

D2R sold only 5 million in a period of 6+ months. We brought this to Blizzard’s attention before and foreshadowed it; that if they keep listening to “purists” and not do more changes to the game it would be a failed return of investment. Diablo III totally dominated it, selling over 3.5 millions sales in only the first 24 hours (almost as much as D2R 6+ months!!!). Sold 6.3 million copies after only its first week (out of which only 1.2 million got it from the WoW bundle) and then continued to…

Solution to fixing Ladder is also mentioned above, which is basically this:

This game desperately needs p8 (& more slots+stash, ploot, classic shared stash, charm inventory, etc.)

You wish. I want no drop removed because its retarded game design. Punish people for not MFing with others while there is no personal loot. But if we cant have increased drops at least add the difficulty without exp and + drops.

But do expect vocal minority (purists) to just come with insults without even reading your topic. After all, there are still zero logical counter arguments against our proposed changes other than “change bad because change”.
