If you look, post 42 is by MissCheetah with a short quote from Bravata about D:I. That is not relevant to D3 S27.

haha imagine being policed to only 2 hours a day gaming just to not get paywalled.
It is not 2 hours at all. Even if you do hit a cap (it is not a pay wall), it is like WoW Daily quests, you can continue to gain XP and items. There is no Leg cap for example and zone events happen multiple times a day people can keep doing.
Your list of really really bad takes today is pretty long. I can tell you have not played it at all and are back to making things up.
The end game competitive stuff is predatory and terrible. The rest of the game is solid.
Then again, you support a game that has a high purchase fee, $15 a month, daily caps on quests, rep, rewards. Weekly caps on the same. Pathfinder that prevents flying without months of grinding.
And you have many many many accounts that you pay for … The sheer amount of money you pour into Blizzard is kind of mind boggling
