Actually I liked how they (sets) ended up working in D2.
They were cheap enough for the poor to use and eventually work their way up.
And for the rich could do whatever gimmicky stuff they wanted with them. They could make another character and just outfit them with the sets for fun, etc.

Sangezi posted a message on Do You Fear the Grind?Posted in: NewsQuote from nickm83
Diablo 2's winning combo was both its lack of grind, and its endless grind.
If you knew what you were doing you could walk an untwinked character starting with nothing from level 1 through to endgame in a day. One day and you can have a character thats essentially good enough if all you want to do is screw around in pvm. Thats really not much grind at all...
Where the grind is endless is when you want to make a totally uber decked out character...good luck. To get a totally perfectly geared for your build level 99 it would take much much much more time investment then that simple pvm toon thats just good enough.
I always enjoyed with D2 how once you acquired some wealth on a new ladder season it never went away. You could make a character that was like 80% pimp relatively quickly, and then you hit a point where improvement was slow, but at any point you could make an alt thats like 80% pimp relatively quickly, or decide you dont like your character and just trade everything for a whole different set up. I liked the feeling with a game that I'm playing an account, not a single character. I enjoyed how nothing bound to my character so I was free to trade at will and I enjoyed how you could level to the 85-90 range in a day or two and be high enough to enjoy anything pvm/pvp wise, and not have to spend months leveling a single alt like some other games...

What I remember most was the constant steam of barely clothed women being killed.

Exactly what I was trying to express. +1
Yeah, but part of the fun was overcoming and getting back at these jerks, whether it meant taking a portal to a close-by area when the choke point had blizzards/traps/hammers everywhere, or calling in your friends to help you out.

1. buff up
2. run out
3. spam skill 1
4. spam skill 2 (if applicable)
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 over and over and over and over until duel has ended.
Seems silly maybe, but that was fun imo. I'd rather not pvp turn into something like most other MMO's...
