Title says it all. This game is so fucking boring and good loot is so fucking rare that I don't even feel like wasting the electricity to run a bot while I'm at work anymore. Fuck it.
I'm going to have to agree, ladders sounds lame at best. If they'd left the ability to trade (and ever implemented pvp) it would be a great game. I'm slowly botting up at least one of each toon to a really great gear level (at 3 of 6 so far), just play with my friends. I feel guilty all the stuff I loot and can't share.
I find it funny when people talk about diablo 2 and how it had build diversity. Just to let you know, there are actually more "viable" builds on d3 than there were in d2 when it came to actual efficient farming. Considering half the classes couldn't do hell baal runs for shit unless you had some pretty stacked runewords on your follower. People speak of trading like it actually helped you get anything, especially when it came to higher runes because good luck getting that Zod run even running a bot 24/7.
Lmao please. In d2 I can trade my way up to a zod no problem. With the help of d2jsp back in the day I went from trading gems all the way up to high runes and having thousands of fg. Without botting. And I was still able to find a lot of items to trade.
