Massive power creep is not good for the game. Reasons to play plummet if you can stroll trough 150 with no effort. Altar alone was to much power, couple that with another theme and your power is ridiculous.

S28 was by far the most popular season in long time. I belive that proves most players disagree with you.
Neither do you decide. Changes can be good but if the changes render entire gameplay features obsolete for the sake of making things excessively easy and boring, they are detrimental changes for everyone.
S28 theme was popular because it provided a ridiculous amount power creep. People became drunk on power. That doesn’t mean it’s a good theme.
The fact is the Altar will have changes. To what extent remains to be seen. What you or I want as individuals is irrelevant. In the end it’s Blizzard that decides what’s the proper way.

Now people are wrong? Just you know what’s best?
Of course not, I don’t know what is best. Neither do you.
What I do know is what is bad, bloating numbers up for the sake of bloating them up, rendering gameplay features obsolete, making the game boring, etc. Like Kargon said, if the GR150 becomes too easy, reasons to play disappear and player numbers plummet faster than ever before.

It seems like you think you know best.
And to correct you. S28 was the most popular season in long time. No plummet.

ok, now add the original Altar with some OTHER season theme, and bam, that is serious overpower.

Then let it be overpowered for 3 month.

Indeed. Even without it there are some builds that can do GR150. With it the amount of GR150 capable builds skyrocket, some capable just strolling through it. With another theme on top, for example Ethereals, pretty much every build can do 1 min GR150s. Is that fun?
To me that’s super boring. But that’s just me.

Exactly. And I have different opinion.

What’s enjoyable about the game not giving any challenge?
Of course it was, it gave everyone easy access to “'complete” the game. Having that level be baseline and other significant bonuses on a revolving schedule on top just obliterates any remnants of challenge the game has.

Challenge? I play games for relaxing.
The game hasn’t gone your way in the past and it definitely ain’t going your way in the future.

I play them for enjoyment.
Relaxing isn’t enjoyable to you?
No, it’s relaxing. Relaxing is something I do because I have to reload the batteries, not because I enjoy to relax.
You don’t enjoy it??
Not really, I prefer to be engaged, whether it be physically or mentally.
Well mate. This game has been going the opposite direction from what you want since day one.
And btw it sounds pretty stressful to not enjoy relaxing.
It has had power creep for a long time, however for most of that time 150 was still a goal, not a guarantee.
Or I’m not stressed enough that relaxing is a break I actually want.
And you think they are going back now when 150 has been guaranteed for long time?
Well actually they tried to remove altar. What happened? Players raged and they had to put it back.
