d2/d2r is still fun if there are many people wtb rals and p ame to craft amulets/rings, like season 1 and 2.
new comers can become stronger and stronger by selling rals/p ame (and then gearing up), intead of buying items from bots.
imo the funniest thing to play d2/d2r is the process of gearing up by trading/farming, but not gearing up by buying items from bots.
