The game is in a pretty good state.
But we are still missing that thing to keep the game open indefinitely.
To make you come back to it after you are done with your gear and your character.
And I think the answer to that is “hoarding”.
Accumulating wealth.
A set of useful items that could change your gear or some mechanic (like for example, changing how tempering and masterworking works).
Something that could be traded and would make players want to chase it.
Some would say “runes”, but i’m not giving it a name.
Anything you could accumulate and trade, and that has actual value would be cool.
I think that Stygian Stones are something close to this. A step in that direction.
Just keep giving us more of that (or similar to that).
Edit: Not only stygian stones but also GA Items are cool and keep the game open.
Also, you could have an item that can move GAs or add GAs…

Nah.
Gold has limited purposes.
It can trade items or be used to reroll affixes.
What i’m asking is something more in line with this:
Imagine we had an item called “bingulo”. Ok, the worst name, but just imagine.
We find a “bingulo” and an item with 2GAs.
And now i want to use my “bingulo” to change one of the GAs to other affix.
Or…
A second item called “bingala”.
And we find an item with 2GA.
But I want to add one more GA to my item.
I use the “bingala” and now I have an item with 3GA.
I’d agree that its nice to be able to continue to farm something that is more meaningful than gold. D2 runes, PoE Divines, there are plenty more examples, but I don’t think we are there yet. Most people are still struggling not to kill all their 3GAs.

Adding another currency or item to grind I don’t think is what people want. Fairly certain they just want more balance within the game, throughout all its systems. Whether that’s class balance, crafting, etc.
This in particular wouldn’t make me want to stay in the game longer, personally speaking. I play the game until I get bored, then play other games while I wait for the next season. It’s a nice break for me. Adding another item to grind would just make me bored quicker.

I desire more use out of the currencies we have already.
Namely gems and resplendent sparks.

Make a new character. Joking aside: It would be cool, if the season pass had more milestones, that give epic cosmetic rewards. But I mean: The game’s gameplay system is a bit repetitive. Would be cool, if they had more content like Raids, PVP Battlegrounds, etc. I think Diablo Immortal has this apparently (Didn’t play it more than 5 min)
It’s stupid. Wealth in itself is useless but you can already accumulate all the wealth you like in this game. Just go farm Whispers for a week straight and you will have 1-2 billion gold easy and the best part is that you can do this every day for the rest of your life. Enjoy.
Proof there is plenty of hoarding already is the 1000 stash space threads. And if you notice most of these threads started by people who have not even got a character to 100 yet.
And we have a currency to accumulate if you really want to. Could max that currency to a trillion easy if you wanted to troll 3rd party websites and trade. Because d4 is essentially like playing legacy d3 it is that short and meaningless.
You are done after 1 character? LOL
Assuming much?
I’m on my 4th character.
Oh I can hoard anything you need me to.
You will own nothing and be happy about it. Also since next patch they are implementing “stash rent” - 10 mill for 1st tab/per day, doubling for each additional tab. Capitalism has come to Sanctuary, baby.
Absolutely think this is crucial once Blizzard allowed trade.
It doesn’t have to be runes or go as far POE but a Commodity like item(s) is very needed in the game
Wasn’t that the main puprose of paragon levels in D3?
I found that system very good to keep us playing. Even if the bonuses you got per level were totally irrelevant. They still gave some motivation.

Paragon has a greater influence than equipment in d3.
A QoL, indirect power progression system after lvl100 would be nice. Like haveing higher chances of dropping GA items, maxrolled items, uber uniques, gold, mats, summoning mats, pet pick up radius increase, increased chance to not consume tempering durability, chance to not consume mats and gold when enchanting, stuff like that.
