I am sure there are more similar to me, play the game through manual, then switch to "automatic" for mf because I am not 13 anymore, I just dont have the hours to kill Meph, Dia, Baal, manually just to find gear. With the create games and join/rejoin restrictions as well, its even tougher to do fast mf runs because you have to delay each game or get timed out.
JSP helps with the rest. There are some things I refuse to purchase on JSP because I want to find that myself(automatic mode 95% of the time).
I also dont rely on chaos/baal games, I run my own with my toons.

I do not care if anyone judges these methods and modes, I play the game I enjoy and have enjoyed for 20 years. I played 100% legit when I was 13, I have beaten the game more times than I can remember and still enjoy it because every run through is different because of the amount of items and combination of stats that can drop.

Just enjoy the game the way you want, and if you cant and have to attack people online because they can do something you cant, then F off

For me i am not judging how people play, but how they answer the poll.
47% of 100% legit players, this is much more than real legit players can see everyday.

Im not complaining about people using hacks (without them, we (legit) would have no stuff). But i hate liars because they bring nothing to game and nothing to that topic.

Voting matters

Have you made a choice?

Why did you choose that %?

Do you think the game will ever be played 100% legit again? If so, would it be because of a patch? A ban wave?

Would it be the communities that power the life of the game?

Vote now and do tell what made 2020 a good Diablo 2 gaming experience for you. !

2020 was an interesting year. It seemed like everything that could of happened to Diablo 2 Games did. We even had a new and different game expanded ontop of Diablo 2 'platform' and it caused d2jsp.org to go ahead and support it.

Diablo 2 was such a legitimate game it's still spawning diablo 2 like games and powering up gamers of all levels.

Honestly, I look at it more Manual vs Automatic...

I play this game Manually off the start of a reset, I dont use Sonic to build my sorcs, but I use the other program to assist with playing through and not relying on others. I play 6 toons at the same time using that program.
I spent so many years back in the day playing 100% legit, I cant stand looking for waypoints or level entrances blind anymore LOL... I see it as I put my time in, I have played and beat every level layout their is, I should "know" the way by now, 20 years later.

I am 33 now with an on call emergency first responder job and a life off the computer. Automatic mode helps keep things going so that I can come back and enjoy the manual play again without being too far behind the players with 100 Sonic sorcs crashing the market within days...

Again, I dont care to justify my way to anyone, judge it as you like, its how I ENJOY playing this nostalgic game, and I feel that everyone is entitled to that privilege as well because the switch could be thrown at anytime.

Towards the end of my Diablo 2 Nostalgic Resurrection I found myself just pvming with other people. I was playing legit and I had stopped picking up gear. It would take 6-10 hours to clear a game and it often included a hr find or 2. At first this kind of gaming session in this 20 year old game was like wow. It was honestly difficult to keep at it. In the end I find myself missing it.

I had gained some really great friendships. Something I had done some 15-20 years ago when I was running legit baals on a lighting sorc called leeroyyyjenkinss. I'm not sure about all you but I think one of the great thing about Diablo 2 was you could always look forward to bumping into someone interested in the same thing you were. Be it items, leveling, pvp, crafting and more. I'm happy this game is still around and I'm happy for all those folks who voted 100% legit or closed to it. You managed to hang onto the values of this game from the core level 1 newb to being a seasoned pro. All this while being surrounded by a globally flooded game of spam and less than legit players.

I would almost compare a 100% legit player in 2020 to the challenge of playing d2 hardcore

if pvp is the only thing keeping people on d2,.,. why not have the pvp community start a private server.. and everyone gets 3/20/20 and whatever godly gear they want.. then pvp to your hearts content..

there is a reason botters stay on bnet and dont just start their own pvp servers.

Weekend gaming smash time

Who wants to vote and add 2 cents?
