I don't see anything good in it. I view it as an idea that seemed cool some time ago but after a while most people (not Diablo fans) realized that it's disfunctional
why some time ago? why disfunctional? it's not disfunctional, it works perfectly, what's disfunctional is when every item takes the same amount of space

The problem with tetris inventory is that you spend additional time trying to fit things into the inventory. I want to play Diablo, not tetris.
if for you Diablo is just click the attack button, then why don't you play something else? part of the game is to manage your inventory, to organise your set-up, to get prepared for the battle, do you think warriors just wake up and go randomly killing stuff? no they get prepared before, and then go to the battlefield, that's what Diablo is

I picked up everything... Not really for profit more like just because it's a thing I have. See every corner, open every chest, kill every monster, get every item. And I don't see what you are getting at here. I mean Diablo and Diablo II were not different in the inventory system, it seems YOU just played them differently.
no, do you remember spending time doing the same thing over and over just to get a specific rare or unique or whatever item you'd look for in Diablo? i sure don't, no such things as Baal runs or whatever in Diablo, nobody ever said something like "let's go kill this because it drops a set of items" in Diablo

The inventory system has nothing, nothing to do with what you said.
yes it does, because it makes survival into just greedyness, instead of "pick what you can" it becomes, "pick what you want" since every item just takes the same space, it doesn't matter anymore what's the item in question
Well, first of all, the fact that a bardiche takes as much space as a ring is completely absurd, it just doesn't make sense at all
Secondly, the tetris system has been there since the start, sure it's a part of Diablo and all that, I don't say that if you change it, it won't be Diablo anymore, I just say that it's a great inventory system, it worked very good for both games, heck, some games even copied that system because it was so good (RE4 for one)
As for the stacking, i agree for the idea of tomes, like you could have a potion rack or something that you'd pack some pots in, but no way to just "stack them away"
Also, for people who say that "it's annoying to always go back to town" well, why not just make the inventory larger? or add supplementary packs like the cube but only for storing stuff? or the items smaller, i don't think it's a flaw in the inventory, i think the flaw is that monsters drop billions of items all the time, which is something i didn't like about D2, remember in Diablo when an enemy would drop a magical item you'd be like "holy shit" but no, in D2 you kill a boss and there are like tons of random items that drop, and that's where the problem is...
Remember in Diablo, you were a loner adventurer going down to the depths of hell itself, risking your life to save the world, items weren't the matter, they were only tools you'd use to kill demons, or avoid being killed, you'd pick what you can, sell some valuables, and leave the rest on the ground, you were a brave hero that has for only mission to slay the devil, not some greedy guy that'd pick up everything he sees to make profit on it in order to buy more valuable stuff to make even more profit... your goal was to kill demons, not to collect the rarest and most valuable items in the game, you were a survivor, not a dealer, you were a hero, not a merchant, that's what killed D2 for me, and that's why i think the 1item slot inventory would just make things even worse

Diablo should be a survival RPG, not a MMORPG
