The real issue isn't blizz and\or content. It's the age gap between the old d2'rs and the new millennium age kids. There's a self entitlement that comes with the millennium age group. They feel as if free content is not enough, changes that make the game balanced are unplayable and that if they are not at the utmost peak in a game, they are let down by the developers. The real fact is, it's the person and their inability to enjoy themselves without having every bell and whistle the developers could have added.
Personally I appreciate the latest patches that came with free content. If it didn't suite me, who am I to complain as I didn't EARN anything. It was free. The number one statement I seen from the last few patches was a lot of people complaining about the content or lack there of. Look if you can't get the concept that "The game is yours to enjoy however you enjoy gaming" and then the biggest one "buyer beware". People sit around blaming the devs for a decision they made in the passed and a decision they continue to make. It's seriously not up to the devs to allow me to enjoy a game, it's up to me and the rest of you. If you can't do it, try being accountable for your own unhappiness.
On a different note, Fallout 4 is pretty badass. Instead of bitching at the devs I decided to try something else until they release the patch. <-- And that's how you ensure your happiness. It's situational, people are choosing this situation. It's far overdue but it's time to blame the individual and not the devs. This is a individual issue where said individuals are self entitled. Get over yourself.

Honestly I think the best solution would be similar to what Torchlight did with the characters personal stash and having a separate shared stash. Unfortunately I think that was only possible because of less players and a offline mode. I would even be willing to pay for additional stash space whether it be Gold or USD hell I'd even pay monthly for more stash space like additional retainers in FFXIVARR. Whatever the solution this needs to be solved, it's a bigger issue than I feel blizzard realizes it is.
At this point in Diablo I'm practically playing Tetris with my inventory more and more often. I feel discouraged in playing other classes since the inventory issue is a big problem.

Everyone had access to the methods the top 1000 did but chose a different path. The same exact thing happened every season in D2, top players will exploit any little thing to gain an advantage. This is how anything competitive works. If it isn't a high reward bounty it'll be something else to complain about.
