main reasons are

-unfair paied advantage
-devalueing of currency

everything below chaos would lose any value because you can trade currency up at vendors

1. Make the currency pet an earned feature, or just free. I don't see what the problem is.

2. Who cares about currencies below chaos being devalued? They're already less than a chaos, it can't get any worse from there.

Same goes for scrolls of wisdom and portals. Those Diablo II cult things may have looked fine at Diablo II gameplay speeds, but now using them is a torture.

because the powers that be havent seriously played arpgs in 20 years and they cant understand why you would need it.

if they didnt need auto loot in D2 when they picked up 2 items per 'run' then why would we need auto loot in this game they have designed where they have players picking up 100 items per 'run'?

isnt this just players wanting a spreadsheet emailed to them with their loot? i mean its only gone from 2 items per run to 100, its not like those extra 98 clicks are THAT different to 2 clicks right?

its a slippery slope apparently. but adding an extra 98 items to loot per run wasnt a slippery slope that required a change in looting philosophy, because you still have to really care about all 100 of those items you loot individually. every one you pick up has to feel really important, you should remember them all and give every last one a pet name, take a screen shot, treasure it, and if an item was auto looted you just wouldnt have that experience.

i remember all 6,543 alchs ive looted in the last 2 years, i can picture where i was and what was going on when every one of them dropped and if i just auto looted them it would just seem like they were something i just acquired quantities of over time, you know, as if there were 1000s of them dropping and they wernt individually special to me.




and in case you were wondering, yes we really are having this conversation in the year 2022, that is actually the year. itemise everything in the game right down to the areas you play in, allow every item to be craftable and then add 100 different consumables to the game to craft them with and then just keep the loot mechanics the exact same as a game people played 20 years ago where you had an inventory so full of charms you could literally only loot 1 item on your farming run to take back to town.
