Seems like they are making every class a mindless experience.

Just my two cents

It makes game easier and killed hybrid builds.
It's your call how do you see this.
Also phys and magic sunders are a joke.

This.. Plus sorc cold mastery op with that gc

Sundering charms, and the Terror Zones, are great for the game.

The simple fact is that the majority of players are bad at the game, and struggle. Sundering charms resolve immunity issues and Terrorzones resolve difficulty issues. casual players are therefore more likely to remain in the game, which is beneficial for the health of the game. The sundering charms have the same effect as a mid runeword enigma - they make the game more accessible to casual players faster.

the game will not have the 20 year life of d2lod and therefore something had to be done (in my opinion) to accelerate the advancement of levels and gear, which these changes do.

Good intention but wrong way to go about it.

1) They should have two people work 24/7 to constantly battle botters and do customer service. This way, honest players would feel that the game is genuine and the trading system would be fair. Money and greed would not be as big a part of it.

2) They should have implemented experience bonus and other bonuses for clearing areas, acts and maybe entire difficulties (5 acts), more bonuses for more areas and acts cleared. And maybe a super bonus for clearing the entire game in one sitting, say starting with a level 1 character in normal act 1 and killing baal, without quitting any difficulty once. Meaning no muling before you cleared an act. Or maybe not even allowed to do that.

That would really be what would have saved the game. It would prove an ultimate challenge. Imagine doing that in hardcore. There could be bonuses in terms of getting an entire high end runeword in runes and a base weapon or armor to make it in.
