Yes and no, there were certainly people who got off on the idea of the competition and leveling the fastest so you can see their name on some bullshit list. These are the same people who try for gold in WoW challenge mode it's just an e-peen measuring stick. On the other side there was a section of people who like it because it was a fresh playing ground it didn't have years of botting, farming and exploiting built up into a trash heap of an economy it was an even playing ground if you will even if just for a short time. Also usually the Diablo 2 ladders had new items and loot only available in the current ladder that were typically powerful and desirable enough that you wanted to play ladder.What's the issue of account bound gear in a ladder system? I never played ladder in D2 but I always been under the impression it's to see who can level the fastest and get the best gear. Am I wrong?
Amen brother.... Bring on the ladders. That would really seal the deal of making this one of the greatest set of improvements of any one game in the last few years. SimCity should have made improvements like D3 has planned out. Maybe games of my childhood wouldn't be so raped and pillaged if a few companies would just use their head for a moment.People are arguing against ladders? The fuck?
LADDERS were D2. People went back to the game years later when there was an update with a ladder reset.
Same thing as always Blizzard doesn't know how to math so everything in D3 has exponential growth. Which is why Attack Speed/Crit Damage/Legacy gear all has to be nerfed over and over again.9m toughness. what the shit
The reason legendaries aren't tradeable isbecausethey're shutting the AH down. The #1 reason the AH even existed is because third party trading sites all get into the business of stealing people's accounts and they didn't want to deal with that. Now that the AH is gone they have to do something to prevent all these sites from springing up again.Ladder might be worth it if they give some % bonus to legendary drops and make ladder drops tradeable.
They really don't have to though... Locking things down because of the 3rd party sites and dipshits who get hacked is a hamfisted approach. Locking things down because they don't know a better way should not be a solution.The reason legendaries aren't tradeable isbecausethey're shutting the AH down.
