It was reaction to forum feedback that brought us D2. Lots of well intentioned suggestions that when applied together have combined to kill the game. I can't think of any changes between D2 and D1 that weren't at some point during D1 asked for by some on these boards. Longer ability cooldowns Primary focus Longer TTK Top teir loot for lower teir activities - I picked up 7 exotic engrams from public events in one day. Accessible level cap without raiding or trials. Balance All of the above were asked for on these boards at some points and in a couple of cases consistently throughout D1. Bungie has a problem and they need an answer if they don't want D2 to die, but the last place the should be looking for that answer is here.
