    That’s what I LOVED about it! I know it’s a super unpopular opinion, but it felt so much more rewarding to find something halfway decent. Like it did in Diablo II.

    Post-expansion it took a couple hours to fully gear a char, then every Primal Ancient Holy Mega Sickass Ancient Legendary was like “maybe I can go up another grift yawn” to me.

      You make a great point about the state of post-expansion endgame. But loving the Auction House loot system is akin to banging your face on a brick wall because it feels good when you stop.

        I totally get where you’re coming from, but I don’t feel that way personally! Finding a valuable item with a 1/10,000,000,000 drop rate is the real dopamine injector.

          Fair enough! To each their own. Personally the 200 hours in between shots of dopamine put me off of that. I found myself being bored most of the time I was playing the game and supposed to be enjoying myself.

          Though, that said, I found myself bored most of the time running GRifts too. Modern Diablo may just be poorly designed from the base up. The glory days of Blizzard are well behind us, unfortunately.
