Lack of build diversity. It has been a problem since the launch. There are always a handful of meta builds are are 10X than everything else. The result of this is you can’t build your own class, can’t do your own thing, can’t be creative and create your own character. Each season you are stuck with picking from 3 to 4 meta builds. It greatly reduces the joy of replaying the game.
The damage calculations are too complex, and there are always bugs where things do far more damage than intended.

basically getting 1* gear in every slot is not that hard, but when your looking to enhance your gear beyong that the disparity to getting useful 2+ GA gear compared to 1 is nutz, especially uniques that ONLY drop in limited places (which is a bad point for me, well i might have gotten 2-3 in random play in like 100 hours of gaming but thats nowhere near enough).
I went through 75 or so duriel/andariel plus 150 or so lower bosses looking for 2_ ga uniques to replace the 4 i have and didnt get a single 2+* of one of those 4.
So yeah, at that point, i dont think so.

- Duping.
- Botting.
- Bugged builds every seasons.
- Masterwork forcing you to grind endlessly instead of having fun doing your fav activities.
- Max aspects impossible to find.
- No class balance.
- Pay 2 Win since they opened trading.
- Having to ask Spiritborns to rush your glyphs.
I could go on for a while.
With yesterday Campfire i gave up on S6.

I was just done. 100% completed the season. Can kill T4 Ladder Bosses without a problem and in seconds. 4 characters to 60, Paragon is 250+. (some characters clear better then others of course). Never grouped and 100% SSF.
Yeah just did all I set out to do. No interest in the Citadel. Yup, just done.

There’s no loot. I’m constantly farming for materials, just materials. Also because I don’t want to play meta my progression is pre-decided by the devs to be far lower than everyone else, despite their flat out lying claims of everything besides Spiritborn being “balanced”. Neither of which is “fun”.

Yeah this was a real shocker in the stream yesterday. They said they’re happy with where all the other classes are. All the other classes feel weak as hell IMO.
If they think every class feeling equally mediocre is “balance”, I guess they’re right…but it certainly isn’t fun.

They said they’re happy with where they are in respect to one another.
But they’re basing this on VERY broad metrics.
They see Meta Builds performing equally to one another and just automatically assume the ENTIRE class is balanced.
I mean look at how they’re buffing Barb Skills but once again not touching Whirlwind which is barely hanging on by a thread in C Tier. And even then, ONLY hanging on by a thread if you’re spamming endless Dust Devils and Earthquakes as there is now no other possible way to build Whirlwind.

Lack of fun builds for alts that aren’t completely underpowered. Zero desire to farm for upgrades since S4 itemization changes so I don’t.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the game feeling like it was changed to Diablo 3 mode. I did try it a bit and felt underwhelmed and perhaps the drop rate was part of that. Perhaps this upcoming patch might feel a bit better otherwise I’ll take a look at season 7.
Currently nothing about the game really excites me so I don’t play.
Still playing because its still fun. To answer the question: When it stops being fun then I will stop playing. Which is the case for every season and every game.
No challenging content left.
No point getting better gear to do said content in the game normally.
Dupes still risk in trades.
Poor Oct event.
Running out of storage.
Crashing.
Evade build somehow running out of charges though nobody can explain why.
Ancestrals impossibru
Triple crits too costly.
Frens all quit.
Didn’t start, so I guess I didn’t stop either.
But this would be a major reason why:
this is the most imbalanced season i have ever played in any arpg to date.
so meh.

Season mechanic is garbage.
They put the carrot too far away. Any goal to have is just grind 2000+ pits for 300 hours.
No reason to roll alts because it’s just grind the same content you just spent 300 hours on but feels worse.
Even made the season vendor garbage. Half the rewards, no spark, no repeatable box. 10 times the grind for less.
They essentially took everything that made season 5 fun and rewarding and removed it to replace it with artificial super long grinds for no reward.

Hold down thunderspike while you evade. As long as you have some cdr and you hold that down you shouldn’t run out. I think evade does not always hit thunderspike for the resets to happen. Especially if you are using teleport rune. It seems to mess it up.
still playing, havent crack 150
I still play…if I can every day. Just not as often. Nothing wrong with a little pacing here and there.
