If it weren't for dupes, no one would have Enigma or any of the other runewords that required high runes...

Without dupes, you wouldn't have been able to acquire all that perfect gear because it would have cost hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars for just one of those items. The reason we had an SOJ (and then later hex and then later HR) based economy is strictly because of dupes which means the drop rate was fundamentally broken.

Idk about no one but it would be drastically less.

But let's say you're right. Even if you are, the 3rd party websites that sold duped runes for extravagant amounts every ladder reset did so at least with some blessing from blizzard or people within blizzard. A fuck ton of money was being made at every reset. You really think Blizzard wasn't in on some of these profits? They were just continuously patching a 10, 15, 20 year old game with no in app purchases because of...?

So in a way Blizzard allowing this is the way to fix the low rate, which again created a fairly decent equilibrium from a supply/demand perspective. I much rather have it be like that then getting a high rune every other time I killed Baal.

As I look back, d2 remains one of my favorite RPG's I ever played, not because of the lore or graphics, but precisely because of the item system scarcity and how hard was it to actually have a 'perfect' character. Like I'm playing Witcher 3 now, fantastic game, but once I got the master crafted set (best gear in the game) my interest has significantly dropped.

Really good RPG's have that chasing the magic dragon angle to them, that makes people spend an obscene amount of hours doing repetitive shit for no reason than to just get a little better.

their stock has been rough over the last month

Look, more hidden footprints!

They need someone to voice female characters.

It would be disturbing to find out that Charsi was voiced by a male, considering the things I've done while listening to her opening monologue of flirting with the barb.

Can use their recordings from answering the phones all day.

I read through another handful for you in case I missed something. I’m really trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

Do you think racial equity, or pretending to care about racial equity, is Marxism?

i found lots of all but 40-15s.

the appeal of the diablo 2 loot table is that any monster can drop you a cracked sash or an item u can sell for lots of fg or even $$ in the early days when ebay sales were big.

if i find the best item in all of D3 its barely exciting, if i find a COA in d2 ill jump out of my chair even after playing 20 years.

Absolutely this. It’s the main reason I quit playing d3, the items just didn’t matter in the end

The Amazon's voice is gonna be male.
