the thing is, if you make no resets, you'll have to expand the end. Because why should someone play when he's already maxed out. And now do this not once, but for a year or two. And suddenly you have to invest a thousand hours into this game to "finish" it. And that might be super interesting for you but for a newcomer that's scary.
The cold hard truth is that the so-called casual player will never advance very far in D3. The sheer amount of grinding necessary for Caldesann's Despair alone is daunting. Not to mention Paragon Levels. 3k+ Paragon? Gabynator has God knows how many hours in his Crusader...?
This thread has been a really interesting read. I think there have been enough great suggestions here to give the devs brain food for three months. The 'you know nothing' comments are , as always, unhelpful. But many of the replies are on target.
I love RPG and strategy game play. Always have and always will. And I probably love the Diablo franchise more than most. That said, I do have some pet peeves. And build diversity is one of them. I hate the fact that we are forced into certain builds in order to advance in endgame. Yeah. I know. "That's just the way it is...you obviously don't like ARPG's!" Blah blah blah. See above.
A true RPG allows a broader skill tree development than D3 ever has or - most likely - ever will. Want to clear high level Grifts? One choice...at most two...per class.
