Drop rates should be nerfed to 1/3 of current level, get rid of Haedrig's Gift and upgrading yellows to legendary.
A good Diablo game is about the loot hunt, doesn't matter how bad your gear was, you were always happy to get a new piece, nowadays its just paragon farm for a couple weeks and quit the game because it's boring as fuck.
Agree, shit is too easy now, 6 hours of gameplay in season to start the endless grift farm, this season was the shortest one so far even with the set dungeons release .
It is not even worth to try to compete anymore for ranking. A friend directed me to a website where there are tons of bots: Ghom bots, Bounty bots, Rift bots, of course Turbo Hud, advanced macros, etc... Call me naive but I did not think it was so extensive.
So I went to look at a well known Twitcher (Who got his account cancelled last season) and watched him play for a good 30 minutes doing 80+ GR. What an eye opener it was!!!
1 - The team of four NEVER ended up in a dead end while doing a GR. NEVER!
2 - It seems they knew exactly where was each pylon and each elite group.
3 - During the whole time I watched him, His eyes continuously went to his left. It took me a while to figure out what it was. I think he was watching one of his team mate steaming privately with Turbo Hud on.
4 - I noticed also quite some feasts of jumping VERY FAST out of trouble. He never was caught on the ball of an arcane. He and his team mates were able to jump very fast and each time out of ice explosion or ice orbs. I watched quite a few times Quinn and he is not THAT good like those players.
Anyway. I am just sayin here...
You do know, if you play enough you learn the map lay outs right? , the only map that's actually random is the bone pit one that is a sewer map in act 5 right?!
half the maps are maps that are in story mode and half of them have one or two entrances right...
to reach the top of the leaderboard you have to fish and find the perfect rift, I for one don't care to that extent. nor do i care about snapshotting or anything where i have to go an extra mile to rank up, If bots upset you to this degree i suggest playing hardcore, hardly any bots and even if they bot, bots are dumb, they get stuck and break chances of them dying is great in hardcore.
I can lead a 4-player GR and tell you where every door/dead end /Studder is with nothing but experience. the game is beyond simplified,
I feel the only banning they will do this season is for those cheating the game and getting duplicate starter sets in hardcore. (for example to those who haven't made it to 70 yet and are probably crying in this thread) 1-70 - Mailed 2 pieces of set, Kill Z Kulle - Mailed another 2 piece of set, and solo GR 20 and get the final 2 set pieces.
TurboHUD is mandatory for HC, 99% of the top 100 are using, SC isn't so bad but you can be sure that at least 60% of the top 100 are using .
Occam's Razor: Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected
People with 300+hours out of a possible 312.
Hypotheses 1: Botting
Hypotheses 2: They have figured out a schedule between multiple players either sleeping during the day to play at night, or playing from different time zones to maximise available play time, even accounting for server downtime and patch roll-outs.
Which has the fewest assumptions? Where does burden of proof lie?
The problem is the Infinite paragon farming end-game, paragon should be nerfed hard after 800 .
Amen. Statgain +1 instead of +5.
That will never happen because of Non season players, they should buff the XP required per level after 800 by 5x instead .
ps: now that i think about it, that will never happen as well because it would be unfair to new players, i guess we will only see any change on this subject when we get a new expansion and paragon is reseted for everyone, until that happens we will have this boring end-game about grinding XP for months .
Having to stop and wait for Death's breath every god damm elite pack is so annoying, i wish they would just make it a currency or have it auto loot like gold .

i've been told that seismic slam is quite strong for group play, but i still haven't dropped an ancient Fury of the vanished peak .
menu time doesnt count as played, i guess there's that .
you can look at hours played in season, doesnt matter if its rebirth or not .
everyone has 99% perfect gear already, i guess all that's left to do is farm paragon for 3 months straight ..
You have to make sure that all 3 of your ancients are up 100% of the time, most of my deaths on 68 attempts are due to 1 or 2 ancients dying .
Try to get some LPFS on belt to help with the heal .

Discuss ..
meanwhile, LF3M Leechers .
i can only imagine, now with Kanai's Cube, people are goin to stack even more bonus XP, and the leech gear will be even more powerfull .
