Pvp definitely isn't the reason d2 has been alive for this long. 🤣

You can see the massive spikes at the start of every season and it slowly die again. If anything it's all the mods, season restarts and people on jsp working for pennies.


PvM, the story, itemization, etc... is what made D2, well.. D2. It was a game that defined a genre. But PvP was the end game, its truly the reason people kept playing years, or even decades after blizzard stopped supporting it. 20+ years later blizz was basically like "holy s**t, theres still people playing D2?! Thats amazing, we could totally make money off of this somehow." But they never asked the question of why people are still playing it 20 years later. And it sure as hell isnt because running baal 10,000+ times is fun.

Every pvp pub and private game for the last 25 years.
6 out of 8 players are afk
The two that are left are more than likely hacking and modding cause nobody can even duel fairly in this game, or theyre mfin the game.

Then on forums you just have a bunch of people claiming to be the best and never duel. The dueling section on the forums and discords are the least active.

Y'all coping heavy if you think the roughly 50 pvp players kept it alive this long. 🤣

Pvp balance is not important to them, because they know that no matter what they do or how little they do the community in this game will create our own GM dueling rulesets.

And if there's no way to make dueling with warlocks fair, then gm dueling will just ban warlocks and things will continue on as usual. Same thing goes for sling and new items. As far as needing the community to balance it, it's not like regular pub duels are exactly balanced with stuff like absorb being stackable and other abusable stuff, so they basically NEED the community to decide how to make it fair. Just as an example, think of how insane rising sun + Hotspurs is as a combo. 2 items and you've completely eliminated all fire damage. Lo+Ber or Lo Cham coa/diadem, + tgods + wisp and you've eliminated all lightning damage. And you can stack a crap ton of 20 life 11 res or 20 life 5 all res small charms in your inventory. It's never been fair.
