So people brining well detailed and explained improvement ideas
Purists who say “you have no knowledge of the game”, “go back to D3”, “ no, no ,no”, “a million years ago they said it’s a remaster”, “ stop trying to ruin the game”

I have one :
- Stop asking for minor change, or w/e you call it “QoL” when it will have big impact on the game
Or another :
Let the game close to the original, as a remaster should be
I even originally messaged all the developers working on D2R from my post here that had the most views for a personal loot option and not one response, I then also time stamped a clip for a personal loot option to all the D2R developers for their biggest Diablo streamer Rhykker who is advocating for a timed allocated personal loot option, as well as whose comment section also was predominately for a personal loot option and not one response. But they keep thanking and responded to someone who tried to troll me that is a part of the “purist” crowd. It is just very strange and I agree with this thread on the bias Blizzard is currently doing for the no-change “purist” crowd.
I can remember very well those who trolled me. An outsider may not recall precisely, assuming that the comments were even read in the first place.
It can be. I think most asking for changes want them to be optional and often in a separate modern realm where the base game is preserved in a strict remaster realm.

So you truly believe that the OP is wrong and that there isn’t a bias currently being done by the D2R devs for the no-change “purist” crowd?
Jealousy is a sickness. Also ploot dumbs down the game an makes it easier. #trytochangemymind.
Blizzard wants to get to launch first and have the game release as smoothly as possible. They know about the brigade effort. They already know that a large percentage of the players want an optional loot system. They also know many do not. They have been clear that additional changes are most likely coming after launch. It is now just a waiting game.
Can you explain how it dumbs down the game?
Irrespective of the loot system, you still need to be able to build a character, know about runewords, etc… The only thing it changes is whether you get loot by clicking faster where for the average player they would get about 1/8 of good drops in an FFA game and personal loot where that average player would also get 1/8 of good drops on average.
Clicking faster is a sign of manual dexterity and not intelligence. (and even sometimes it is a sign of a cheater with pickit/macro/autoclicker).
In terms of being easier, FFA loot allows you to target build- and class-specific items. In personal loot, it is RNG, therefore personal loot makes the game harder to gear up.
“Purist Crowd” Translation: Customers who want what they were promised.
- Remastered graphics—monsters, heroes, items, spells, all resurrected.
- Classic gameplay—the same Diablo II you know and love, preserved.
- Updated Battle.net support.
- Planned support for cross-progression—take your progress wherever you play.
meanwhile this guy here is arguing for a remake…

Did you even read this threads topic and what we are discussing before you try to accuse people of being jealous when they are using examples on how this topic on the “bias” of Blizzard for the D2R purists crowd is true.
Your mad that someone who doesn’t see eye to eye to you got a personal response from blizzard thanking him. An you’re a strong advocate of ploot. Which we already know there’s about 6 of you making thousands of comments on all different types of threads derailing topics when all that’s really need is one Ploot thread thats it. Spamming it doesn’t get your voice heard.
Lol, how am I mad? I am using examples to help support the OP’s claim that Blizzard is currently being bias towards the purist crowd. However, I think you are trying to get me mad with trolling based on your first comment of me just being jealous. That is why I am putting you on ignore and continuing my conversation with rational people like MicroRNA.
“Purist” a Derogatory label. You think you are superior to customers who want to stand up to people like you because you want a remake and they were promised by blizzards announcement a remaster?

“Im putting you on ignore cause I don’t agree with what you’re saying” Seriously man. If your mental stability is that low go see a therapist.
Oh so you dictate what terms are derogatory now. Go look up the term purist, it’s another word for traditionalist which these players are.
a person who adheres strictly and often excessively to a tradition
No, I am putting you ignore because the first statement you made to me about my examples to help enforce that the OP’s idea of Blizzard being bias towards the no-change crowd was just me being jealous. You were the one who was “mad” about my examples so you tried to personally attack me based on you being mad about what I was writing. Take care.
smells like a meltdown 
Customer: a person who buys a product or uses a service from a business. The game was advertised as a remaster. Customers bought that. The only one that doesn’t understand that is you. Hence why your advocating remake changes and surprised your getting pushback from customers who already purchased the remaster.
and it was also advertised that Blizzard would make changes if the players wanted them. It can be both: A strict remaster realm and a modern realm. Blizzard would have fulfilled their obligation for a remaster.

But for a second let’s assume they do not want to do this, just for argument’s sake.
I think we all know which realm should remain.
No it was not advertised that blizzard would make changes if they wanted them. That was done VIA twitter. Comments and replies on social media to discussions are not a form of advertising. Websites, Videos , ADs etc These are advertisements. For Example: D2R main website advertises the game as a remaster that literally states “Classic gameplay—the same Diablo II you know and love, preserved.”
