OP Legacy Uniques are the worst decision i've seen from the devs thus far

As a player who up to this point has only played standard exclusively I have never been so disappointed by a change in this game. I'm not here to just cry and threaten to leave the game or anything but I definitely want to be heard on the subject regardless.

The devs decided that there was a need to nerf some of the uniques. Some people agree and some people don't. If the devs feel that there was a need then great I am behind them. However if you only nerf future versions of the unique then the effect on the leagues that will have the old uniques is that the OP uniques are now more important and powerful than they were before. The problem you were attempting to fix is effectively worse.

I realize that this isn't a problem for those who don't play standard and don't care about it, but what about the players that do? GGG knows how many people play standard exclusively or the majority of the time. It means that the main game for a huge portion of players is now more messed up than it was before. GGG why did you do this? There had to be a better way that this. I have always been against uniques deemed over powered but making them legacy is far worse to me. I would rather you never changed them at all.

I know standard is a "dumping grounds" or "legacy" league as many of you call it. But please try to look at it from my perspective for a second. I thought I could enjoy playing standard the way that I wanted to do it and always be content with the game. I felt the devs still cared about standard just like the other leagues because really I have had no reason to think that they didn't. This change really makes me look at the game differently. I hope I am wrong but I feel I will look at the game differently now that there are uniques that you can't find that are much better than their droppable counterparts. It really might actually make me look at standard in a very negative light.

I hope I get over it but I have never been so disappointed since I began to play in closed beta. Maybe it won't be as bad as my initial reaction here. I hope not.

Please keep all comments constructive. I still love this game.

i agree with u its a horrible change . also the aura change sucks ass.

i think im most likely gone ,just playing this forum game for now.

Go play new leagues and stop bitching about those items

QQ moar please

Yeah sucks for the dumpster league players. Maybe GGG wants to encourage people to try the new leagues, dunno.

Nobody cares about legacy items. They are in the dumpster leagues and make the game more interesting by allowing people who play a long time to have exclusive and rare items. However, they should disable them in PvP, otherwise I couldn't care less.

Go read some other thread and quit bitching about my thread?

If your going to post here then actually respond specifically to what I wrote. I don't give a crap about the new leagues. Your suggestion is useless.

I remember GGG saying they had redid items to allow them to be changed retroactively. Guess this was never the case and I will never trade on standard ever again.

How about you worry about how you play the game and let him worry about how he plays it.
