I had been playing Diablo 2 for the better part of this past year and then got utterly burned out on the game.
I'd had some problems playing before because I'd get annoyed at the gambling addiction subculture that arose out of the game, but I think I finally pinned down what bothers me about it. Waypoints and teleport. Convenient ways to get around, sure, but they've been taken as a sign that this game isn't about the gameplay, it's about the items.
The whole thing ceased to be fun for me when my buddy, already level 50 after a couple days of playing, told me to hurry my level-1-ass up and follow him so he could rush me through to Baal.
"And then what?", I asked. How many hours of Baal runs before I actually begin to have fun?
At least with MMO games there's things to do besides grind. These days, all anybody wants to do with D2 is get to Baal and then let their mouth go slack for hours on end.
I guess I just hope D3 doesn't make it too easy to farm bosses.
How ya doing, buddy?
