(+) Yeah! (+)

You sound like that dude that thought The Order 1886 was amazing and a long game because he stopped and admired the wall textures for like an hour

I get confused about that, too. Like it's your game, play it how you enjoy it but it's definitely not my style.
Like Ive heard multiple people talking about how they're playing (their first run) of Diablo 4...but ignoring the story and speeding through it.
I just don't understand it. But again, play how you think it's fun.

It just feels like that meme where the guy puts a stick in his bicycle and gets mad when he falls.

In their defense, it's pretty understandable to not give a shit about Diablo's story.

When it comes to a game like Diablo, it's probably because they have thousands of hours in other Diablo games, and they know that the story is mostly useless filler, and the real gaming for them begins once you've maxed out your character and can start grinding for the best gear and stuff you'll never find on an average run of the game.

D3 soured me on the Diablo endgame, and early feedback from people is that D4 endgame is ass too.

I'm just gonna enjoy my ride. The destination doesn't sound fun.

Real talk - what didn't you like about D3's Endgame? Too easy to gear?

I just didn't feel any motivation to grind. In D2, you had a slot machine type feeling with boss runs where you want to grind those bosses over and over again. There's a type of account progression where you build wealth for your account. You can find something that's not usable for your class, and trade it for runes or another piece of gear. Eventually you get enough wealth to build better characters for PVE or PVP. There was a sense of pride in building my first viable PvP character or getting a Hammerdin made.

In D3, it just felt like the goal was just to get higher rifts, and have higher numbers. Like GR2 vs GR20, what do I care? ( Don't blast me on the numbers. I don't remember all the details of the game.)

Nah, that's totally reasonable. D3's apparent hate boner for JSP causing them to just remove all trading was uh... It was a decision for sure.

I think another large part of it related to trading is that D3 feels more like a single player game than D2. Trading created more interactions between players, and you also had PVP lobbies where you can pit your gear against others.

D3 is like you're just grinding for yourself.
