There were times in D2 that I saw the most elite stuff drop but missed out, and there were times when I grabbed the sweet drops: it was all in good fun either way, and it all helped shape the experience.

This kind of thing lead to the majority of players doing MF runs solo in D2. People pretty much only partied up to do cow runs and other exp runs until they were good enough to be able to do MF runs on their own.

A lot of the people that did public MF runs were using autograb..

Pickit hacks were a security exploit, not a necessarily a gameplay flaw. And besides, a pickit hack is thwarted by the timer currently on the good drops in PoE (edit: as is someone instantly stealing all the drops).

Also, meeting "good" people that shared was something that made D2 a great experience. If you never had that kind of group or friends list then that is unfortunate, but I eventually played with a community (Amazon Basin) that divided up the drops in town at the end of each game. Good people with gravitate toward good people if the system allows for it.
