I don’t think “more drops” is always good, but I don’t think a small increase from a change to personal loot - if it even would be an increase - would destroy the game, either. Especially since trading exists, and trading messes with the gearing pace far more than this supposed drop increase would.
A silly argument. Just because I think D2 might overall have slightly too low drop rates doesn’t mean I like D3 where the drop rates are beyond excessive. There is far more middle ground possible than that.
