Nobody is stopping you making a new character and trying a new build.
The point of the game is not to spend 22 years farming like a robot, it sounds like you’ve dedicated most of your life to this game, when it could have been spent on developing a career or enjoying the world.
People don’t play games with the goal of grinding like a robot, in fact sane people would get bored and go do something else
You’re wrong mate. Increasing runes drop chances 10x just barely would make them fine. How do I know? I’ve installed this mod:
The mod has modifier 1-100 for rune drop rates, I’ve started with 100x, and then lowered to 10x - now it is (in my feeling) fine, in 2-3h game session I find something from Fal to Gul range. Sometimes I get something higher, like Sur, that happens more or less once per week. It still won’t be fast, as to assemble single Jah I need to collect 256 Ist runes, but at least I can see a progression, and actually play the game the way I find fun instead running Trav/Cows/whatever till I vomit.
The only which should be done in addition to such enhanced drop rate of runes is to slightly increase overall guaniny of runes, and decrease junk like arrows/bolts, potions etc. Not much, I think 20% should be good enough.
That’s a bad comparison (at least to War Thunder), because in that game there is no RNG Jesus like for D2R drops; you progress noticeably all the time, slower or faster depending on how well/bad you play, if you have or have not premium account, but you do progress. Also, you’re fighting against real players, not mindless bots(although sometimes they present such skill level it’s really hard to tell the difference), and situation on battlefield makes each match unique.
D2R becomes a boring, repeatable grind fest from some point - because to maximize chances to get these HRs you are restricted to play Lower Kurast(Single Player), Travinal, cow level, sometimes Arcane Sanctuary/The Countess, over and over again.
You’ll find every rune in the game in a few hundred hours of play. And multiples of everything from Vex down.
If the run drops were 10x what they are now… you’d find them all in a 3 day weekend.
You know Hrs also can be traded right?
people think, that the only way to get Hrs is to find them…
Its really easy to get some. I normaly stop because it is to easy to get Hrs/gear.
It shoud be harder.
Tip for you. At ladder reset. farm unid torches and sell… pala can doo it with low low gear… Easy Hrs start ladder.
You and other people in this thread can group up, some sorc and 1 pally. You would be rich in first week easy.
Yes they are easy to trade for because bots flood the economy with items - the drop rates shouldn’t be balanced around being able to trade for botted items though
i found more then 20 HRs my self. and i dont play as much as other people.
Its easy to get Hrs.
So you can get Easy Hrs. why you keep crying then?
Dont balance a game because of bots right 
so it should be harder to get. we agree
You’re the guy who was crying how you had 20 annis which are now worthless because they are not spawned off 2000 duped SOJs anymore so more people are getting them
Looks like the botters are worried their bots will bring in less income, which is why you’ve dedicated your life to keeping Diablo II dependent on bots
Nop… I said it is a waste of time making trade games, because no one joins them.
every one has them. so no one needs them. Because annis is to easy to get.
So i dropd all in free game. funny . not all got picked up. people dont even want them for free. ohh and i had 27, Somethings is wrong when a best in slot item is soo easy to get.
You would know. You want lower drop rate so you bots can find more and faster so you make more profit. Its easy to see you and others who want it easier are the one who bots.
when doo you stop crying? .
Yeah this guy probably invented the term having “brain diarrhea” I blocked him a long time ago.
But you still talks about me…
cant like be called out on you lies and stories.
Keep you bots going… NOOB
i obv live RENT FREE…
I though Its you whole is trying to find HR your whole life and failing?
Anyway thanks, but i am fine, yeah D2 is big part of my life as I play it for ages. But dont worry, I have also good life and good job
And nobody is forcing you to do it. You can enjoy game with just rare items.
Yeah thats a lot. High Runes are supposed to more rare than that. And I would guess your methods of finding are not evven effective most likely.
Yeah thats confirmation of what I just said to quote above. You mention that 10x rune drop is not even that different and then say that you actualy didnt even effectively rune find 
Would 10x rune drop be bad for offline? I honestly dont think so. But it would be bad for online where more people share one economy.
I deal with what I have - a 91lv Wind Druid, quite good geared, and through my session on P3 I run:
So, I wouldn’t call that ineffective, yet before the mod I had hard times so get anything above Ko.
Today’s result, and I’m before Act II and I locations - 1 Hel and 1 Gul; thanks to that I could assemble Vex.
The only which would be affected negatively are botters/RMT site traders. Self found, honest players would be given an option either finally find all the needed runes on their own, or buy them not so overpriced.
Not really, runes are not the most expensive items. They are not hard to found compared to some other really rare stuff.
What do you have in mind Zax? Uniques like Griffon’s Eye, Tyrael’s Might, or something else?
that sound really inefffective, windd druid without enigma,
it takes 1hour+ to doo all this?
Nobody really cares about Tyraels might but griffon yeah, skillers with life, SC 3/20/20, 451 poison, 20/17, 7MF/5 all res, jewels 15/15, 40/15, 20%ED /9/9, JMOD, jewelers items, rare unique, various rare/magic/crafted items. There is huge number of items far more expensive than any rune. Some of them cost many Hrs, even over 10 Hr per item.
Its piece of cake to find Hrs compared to these items.
My few thousand hours in game say otherwise.
Talking about drop chances and here we go haha, its not rune, but this is on my first HC offline char when I am doing grail 
. Doing Playthrough on Hell btw.
It does, however I have Enigma.
Ah I see. Well, better crafting options, such as my suggestion, might help with that. Anyway, assuming higher HRs drop rate it’d just increase prices of such item to keep them at similar level. So, the valuable items will be still valuable.
