I feel Ruthless is better for new players than regular game and here is why

PLayed the game when it was released till level 20 or some.. Never really got into it.
With Diablo 4 being released soon I tried D3 again, but it gets boring very fast.

Will try a ruthless character now, maybe I will like it more then the normal game? :)

tbh i don't agree since new players will stop playing even sooner than normal gamemode because it's harder standard mode is already hard enough for new players i imagine. also because they don't learn everything cause a lot is not in it.

How hard the combat feels Player vs. Monster it's absolutely not what would make players quit. It's actually the opposite - if content is just hard to beat you slow down and farm up a bit ( while learning core game mechanics and itemization from the ground up slowly and carefully ) and you do 2nd boss try because i personally haven't met a gamer that so easily gave up on killing hard boss or monsters. In fact it actually motivates you find a way to put that demon down on the ground like a true ARPG player would do.

So called "Easier mode" leagues standard or whatever you can't learn anything. You look up a guide you blast through the campaign, you copy paste gear/passive nodes from someone's guide and you first job is to and one shot monsters and keep one shotting monsters and will never learn their mechanics. Yes - easy ride, but what excitement does it provide? - None.

P.S.: Easy Mode - You just cruise like in all these mobile games where you tap $1 for x3 base damage and call that a game.

Ruthless is not about right difficulty - it's about insane timesink that forces you to farm way more with almost no rewards.It's about playing terribly bad builds with terribly bad gear with 0 quality of life which leads to pure waste of time. 3.18 with uber bosses was a right move - those guys are really harder compared to their normal versions and yield better rewards. Ruthless is exact opposite thing, it's like, here, we removed like 90% of your character's power and stole 90% of loot from your maps. And I'm like - hmmm, and what's the profit from playing THIS?
