Whether you worry about it or not doesn't change that it's abuse.
Technically, yes. I'm not worried about Blizzard reprimanding anyone for it, or RIF, even nerfing either of them. They obviously intended it as a way to encouraging grouping throughout the whole endeavor. Don't take the usage of the word as some sort of judgement. I abuse it just the same as anyone else. Again, it's supposed to draw attention to the fact that players are dissatisfied with playing the game as designed.
Yes but I will bet you in typical Blizzard cunt form they will say that players just seek out the most efficient styles of play instead of admitting that they fucked up their own game in very fundamental ways.
whats wrong with 2 ppl running rifts doing what 1 person running the rift would be doing?
No, of course not. I'll rescind that, poor phrasing on my part. The min/maxers will resort to increased efficiency. Everyone else will just quit. There's a problem with the core of the game all the same. That RIF leeching is as popular as it is, is just an indication of that.
I love how you base the state of the game off of 1 forum, with mostly shitty gamers who complain about everything lol.
I'm still holding out hope most of RoS' development time was spent creating the framework around the game to create new and interesting loot. They clearly fixed a few things like being able to hotfix almost all drop rates and adding in more interesting set bonuses (if the old system allowed that or not, who knows.) Now it should just be a matter of making items with these cool stats (come on .. all rune sets is pretty cool imo) and putting them into the next season. I wish Blizzard was a bit more transparent with their ideas but this has always been the Blizzard way so I doubt they will.
I don't know even by Rerolled Neckbeard Salty Gamer standards you seem pretty jaded on this subject. The fact is people are going to find farms that have the best payout.. Doesn't matter if it's Meph runs, or Pindle runs, or Baal runs.. some people like the farm the same shit over and over again. The more they try and put restrictions on it the worse it gets. They said "we don't want people farming one mob over and over so they made all act bosses drop dogshit loot" now they make you farm one mob over and over again for crafting materials. They guys running this game don't know what to do with it and everytime they try and lock something down it blows up in their face. How many times has the shitty quest system in this game been the cause of exploit after exploit.
I'm playing 6-8 hours per week, paragon 150 so i'm not truly "casual", I still think the game is fantastic and I have no idea why is everyone bitching gear is hard to acquire, it's a fucking Diablo, the only reason this didn't happen in D2 was the rampant duping and botting.
