If everyone got what they wanted in D2R, no one would be pleased.

Absolutely not and you have no idea what I want.
However itās clear that it your way or the highway while Iāve stated that everyone should be heard.
You literally started this discussion calling %50 of people stupid
Then when you donāt have an actual argument besides too bad of you canāt play as long as me you think Iām saying it has to be one way or the other.
All Iāve done is point out that change isnāt necessarily bad
All youāve done is call people stupid and not even consider that changes may not be so bad.
In fact Diablo has changed a multitude of timesā¦
You still played?

They should be sending this survey to people who have original keys tied to their accounts.

just proves my fact, you know nothing.
when 1.10 came out, like 50% of the population quit the game.
anyways good luck, il be just as happy if the game gets all these changes, because 2 weeks after it gonna die and il come to tell everyone ātold youā lots of joy.

I did see his history and immediately thought the same as you.
It was advertised at Blizzconline 2021 that Diablo 2 Ressurected is going to be a 1:1 remaster with the shared stash and auto pickup gold option.
Thatās what I pre-ordered. Letās not make the same mistake twice on a remaster, Blizzard.
Please, do it right this time.

Any questionnaire not conducted by Blizzard or some reputable Games Website is pretty meaningless.
Such surveys have several issues:
-
No way to verify if the results have been tampered with or not
-
No way to verify if one demographic was favoured over another or not
-
No way to verify if the survey operator is or isnt a D2 Modder and thus has several hundred people complete the survey which exclusively play his/her MOD instead of original D2, which skews the result immensely
-
No way to verify if people actually played D2 or just clicked āyesā when asked
-
No way to verify, among those that did in fact play official D2/LOD, if they played 1 hour over 21 years or thousands of hours over 21 years, which is a gigantic difference in how their opinion should be weighted
Such surveys, even official ones by Blizzard are not an accurate representation of how D2 fans want D2R to be. An overwhelming majority of people surveyed about D2R have nothing to do with D2, which the survey distribution in the past 24 hours shows. It would be really lame if they just used MrLamaSCās āblessingā in the Blizzconline video as a Marketing trick to get D2 fans to pre-purchase D2R, and then turn the game upside down before launch or even after launch.
In any case, the devs are in a tough spot I think.
Make a true Remaster, make a couple QoL improvements, remaster graphics, sound etc, and please D2 fans. Get good Reviews on Metacritic etc. Accept that non-D2 players might be unhappy.
OR
Make a Diablo 2.5, please non-D2 players, appeal to the broad masses of casuals that will move on after 4 weeks, but make a lot of money. Get average or bad reviews on metacritic etc. Get Bad publicity like WC3Reforged did, and then hand out refunds to those that believed the words said by the devs during Blizzconline.
Tough spot for Blizzard.
Maybe its a question of āCompany Characterā and the truth is the Blizzard today is not the same Blizzard that brought us Starcraft 1, Diablo 1 and 2, Wacraft 1-3 etc.

All surveys like this have sampling bias and self-reporting issues. In terms of whether the results were faked/changed by the surveyor, I prefer to give the benefit of thinking that the the results were reported honestly. You can ignore the data if you question it.
Yes
This is a false dichotomy.
I will say this. Among respondents if reported accurately, there are several changes that the majority favors and for each the overall extent for/against are variable. In general, I would think that the D2 purists represent <10% of respondents. There are times where listening to the 10% is best. There are times when it is not.
Surveys are inherently difficult to design without bias. If I did not want optional loot or skill/item rebalancing, I would be very nervous about Blizzardās question if this option should be included at launch.
