No wrong, original technical aspects as in the ""20 years of advancement of game software and modeling tools, all to get clobbered by a 20 year old game that runs in a 800x600 window and utilizes 40mb of ram" was referenced as a means to belittle the standing of the game. I asked for how you would better take advantage of modern tech to improve the game as that was what was referenced.

Whisky listed business/game logic personal disagreements. Those are not the same.

why do people say there's no trading? well rolled rare are the most important items and they can be traded. they already sell for thousands.

You do that, and when it finally hits you, if it ever does.. then, atoadaso.

you answered it yourself, "to belittle the standing of the game". and it did just that

sorry that d2, a 20 year old game offers far more replayability and better itemization than a newly developed game, while using far less game tools and resources at their disposal as well

Avoiding the question still as you can't answer it.

You cant read a list of someones opinions and say theyre fact. It's moronic. I wasnt even defending the game, I am just pointing out that one or two of the folks constantly complaining on this forum are just full of shit. Pretty cut and dry. One of them def has some mental health issues too that they should get checked out.

i'd argue the person randomly quoting users on a 2003 jsp account telling them to "tug their private parts" is the one that might need to see a doctor

You really are dense as a doorknob, arent ya bud?

I will give you that. Why I waste time on morons wasting their time could be a mental illness on my part too. You not getting the reference of giving your balls a tug though? Well, sucks to be you, bud.
