i dont think that the majority people played d2 ladders to get fgs :unsure:
and even if they did, that wouldnt change the fact that there were also many who played just for fun! that was the good thing about d2, you werent limited or pushed in any way, so you could just do whatever you prefered :blush: ! i dont care about someone like yoginator who is there just for the money, i personally was there because dueling on ladder was more fun :blush: people werent fully decked out like on nl where everyone minmaxed everything, which i prefered because i didnt wanna invest too much time into gearing either!

Why do you think 90% of players stop playing after the first week.

This is just my opinion and I'm in d2 pvp community so maybe I'm wrong on you pvmers.

not sure if that was an attempt of a jab at us who dueled on ladder, but whatever ^_^
also i wasnt bad at pvp at all even in the short time i spent on nl, despite shit ping that made entire classes like bvc unplayable to me :cry: it just wasnt that active anymore when i came there so it wasnt the same experience i guess..it was completely empty compared to ladder

and as a ladder player, trust me, almost no one quit d2 after the first week :mellow:

just because youre not spending any additional money doesnt mean they arent pushing for it... or that they have built a game model designed to bring players back for another opportunity to get their wallets out.
if they cared to make resets enjoyable, they would allow things like open trading, as opposed to making sure we are all aware of what was newly added to the store... or the battle pass, or the accelerated battle pass, or the 100$ expansion.

the seasonal model is no longer about the reset of the game itself for the player to enjoy, but rather another opportunity to get you back in the store. the general consensus that these games are to be played for a week or two at a time since the lack of depth cant
keep anyone around longer is a joke.

the monetization has been over the top aggressive, and would be relatively easy to ignore, if the game was any good.

blizzard clearly stated we would never see pay to win in the store. at this point, it would be the last nail in the coffin if they did. but honestly, i wouldnt be surprised.
