game is dead as fuck. Congrats to the self-made players who actually put in the time. I remember when it took years to find a 2/30/20/1os circ (any class), because lld items were all self-found. Congrats to the players who pioneered the builds and the ones who perfected them. I am proud to be a part of both groups. Cheers to the legions of llders that tried a build just because they thought it was interesting and not because it would own all. GFG to those who have always strived to be 100% legit no matter what the dupers were doing. I am proud of my efforts in lld, and I feel I have done my fair share of pioneering (in fact, I think I may have been the first or close to first person to ever use a teleport charged staff in lld! [on TheScarsOfTime lvl 30 necro, at least I have never heard of a single person using a tele stick before me, but that's obviously not really provable])
Before sites, before custom made items, and indeed before lld was even popular at all... we had a truly legit community of self-made players. These were the honest golden days of LLD.
I have spent some of my time recently on single player D2 to try and find some of that original legitness. I have found "great success (borat)" in my legit single player chars. I've self-found some of the coolest pvm items I've seen, but I admit it still left me wanting more.
I have recently (weeks to a year ago) spent $$ on a couple pvp items(fg, and one pair of prepatch boots.) and some pvm items(an amulet and a ring) and I regret it. I wish I hadn't contributed to such a market. Such markets retract from what would be considered the true spirit of lld. I am ashamed to have stooped to such levels but still proud of my original contributions to LLD.
So I would like to send a huge shout-out to those who have pioneered, stayed legit, and continue to make chars just for the fun of it; you are what makes the game good!
d2 status: pvm only
I agree that is nice a time when you need self found without bots your stuff, I would like got it in the past.
Although times changed. And this : "So I would like to send a huge shout-out to those who have pioneered, stayed legit, and continue to make chars just for the fun of it; you are what makes the game good!" , that makes lld community the worst community in d2jsp. Old plays "proud" who fuck with the news instead of help (because your a noob, because you know nothing, google it, we don't want you here, your item is shit....).
You players who f**k with another new playes is one reason for the death of lld! people just stop play or just give up make a lld char because a few on comminity are too proud to admit someone new better or someone with potential to be better than your proud.
Not all old players are d**b, some new are too (or multis) and there are a few players who helps you with all you need olds and news.
