Consider this as a troll if you like but, once a huge patch goes PTR I can't find a good reason to keep me playing while knowing I'm "wasting" my time and not being "efficient" compared to what the upcoming patch will give..
So I'm happy to get back in game.
I just hope this will be the last time a patch gets tested in PTR this long.
But I find brute farming to be so boring that I couldn't keep on playing knowing that greater rift will bring much more challenge and fun so... And seasons! But yeah they might not be online with 2.1 day one I know..
actually not playing on live while PTR is tested IS a waste of time...
consider this as a farming period... knowing about Ramaldini's Gift, Hellfire Amulet or class balancing/changes you can prepare yourself by getting a new "socket free" weapon, gathering gold and mats - either organs or blues/yellows and forgotten souls for all those rerolls that await you with the gear that won't be changed retroactivelly.
I used my pre 2.1 time really well. Have over 630mil of gold, over 1200 forgotten souls and the entire stash tab full of blues and yellows plus a perfectly rolled 2h xbow just waiting to get a ramaldini's socket so I can reroll one of the stats for 10% damage.
Plus with all these changes to pet attack speed (DH) I was focused on getting perfect rolled taskers from Kadala.
In the meantime I was farming keywardens and aquired 250key sets that will let me craft over 100 hellfire amulets. From the moment PTR started to the end I leveled from 470 to 553 paragon.
So yeah... I did not waste my time
Omg... I didn't got that many with 4 months of farming... You're a beast !

The season is underway. Don't know if I'll make it through.
actually I do not intend to play seasons. The most exciting thing for me with 2.1 were "infinitely" upgradable gems which by now we know was just another empty promise. I try and find some other reasons to keep on playing but the thought of being able to max out my gems quicker than the whole PTR was tested is off putting because let's face it... most of us won't be even able to reach Grift level 50+ (lucky ones/perfect geared ones will most likely go as high as 50 at best). I was really hoping for that innovative end game content but I guess I had my hopes up a bit too high
Well if you're right that we'll barely see players go beyond 50+ grift its quite an hardcore endgame.
And if you look for innovative content, what they put on since RoS is thousands time more innovative than D3 vanilla (yeah I know, even 12 years old child with no gaming experience could've done better than what they did, but they did it anyway so..) and most arpg afaik.
