I can counter you on most of the d2 stuff.
A lot of the players have turned to modding pvp.
Dueling builds are extremely limited outside of the typical tpk variant nec/sin/barb/druid builds which dominate most builds outside of their zone.
Ladder resets are ruled by botters once they hit a certain point.
Yeah you can have some fun with it but everyone is so busy botting for pvp levels whats there really to do?
Theres the zeal/bvb/lld scenes outside your usual stuff but its either modded pk or tpk tryhards that ruin it for casuals trying out some fun builds.
I had loads of fun with d2 but modding hdins with the latest and greatest ruined public games for me.
You countered with your own personal feelings and observations, but lack facts. Kind of like Durrrrrr - a very emotional yet lacking substance. PvP/Ironman/Speedrunning exist all over the place - legit and modded. Dueling is limited to your imagination - sure META dueling is limited to a few builds, but there is lld, vlld, mld, BvB, etc etc etc etc. - iron man comps - holy grails, you name it people are STILL doing it. nearly 2 decades after the fact.
Ladder resets are the best time of the year, and many legit players (including myself) play each reset and enjoy the game mod/bot free. I still make plenty of FG when i want to, and have tons of fun. There is enough people playing to drive a community in HC/SCl. I wish the game was without botters, but that's unrealistic. Diablo 3 lacks nearly 100% of what i've stated. The game is utter trash, and lacks any depth or substance that it's predecessor has.
