In terms of fresh blood, Primal Ancients are kinda shit. Fun concept, but they should have been introduced along side vanilla ancients for maximum effect. Still not really happy about the Grift 70 requirement, either. Spits in the face of praying to RNGesus, which is what the grind is all about.

I agree with your first statement. I disagree with the second. I've never had the best of luck and I don't mind a bit of a grind to get my BiS. However, if someone gets their BiS fresh outta power leveling to 70 in Torment 6 just because RNGesus favored them a little more than me, I'd be a little salty.

But isn't that what a lootgrinder is about? Lucky drops?
In D2, you can right now get rushed through hell, kill a monster in a highlevel zone and get a zod rune dropped.
In PoE, you can right now, level to the endgame, start a map and get a mirror (so freaking rare, people would give you whatever you want for it).
Rare items should not be put behind a difficulty wall. Rarity is the wall. Some get it sooner, others later. Some get multiple ones of them, others none. That's how these games work. That's what makes them so exciting.

I suppose. Would you really be that much less excited about a legendary drop just because there's not a chance that it can be a Primal EVEN IF a Primal does not differ all that much from a normal Ancient? Say this goes through and I start a new character or play seasonal, I would still find it exciting to find just a regular Ancient. Finding a Primal would be cool, but it doesn't make it that much more substantially exciting if I find one knowing that it could have potentially just been a really, really good Ancient.

New Primals are a waste of time. Sorry Blizzard, you ruined a good thing.

The orignal primal were great, improved stats and 1% , these are garbage, simple capped ancients, and blizzard gave importance to all those crying cheerleaders on the forums.

But the improved stats would make the Primals an absolute requirement to be competitive on the leaderboards. On top of that, it would just add to the seemingly endless power creep.
