Not every game is for everyone. Some people loved Jedi: Falken Order. I got bored and frustrated with the clunky movement controls after about an hour and never looked back.
Loot games are for people who want a long term relationship with a game and enjoy grinding familiar content. So most loot gamers have low-need-for novelty personalities ( I can eat the same thing for breakfast each day for weeks before it starts to bug me).
But many shooter gamers have a high need for novelty. They get bored and frustrated with repetitive tasks and a lack of newness.
Nothing wrong with that. Until you try to force yourself to do something that is repetitive [i]by design, [/i] and is intended for people who enjoy that repetitiveness.
So while I believe you when you say that the grind isn’t fun for you, understand that there are people out there (like me) who do enjoy it.[/quote]
This "loot games" thing. D2 is not the first loot game.
D2 was seemingly a place for people who didn't like the other loot games. Else they would still be playing WoW.

But what Bungie tried has failed. ...and it failed years ago. They just hid that failure from us. Which is why I said last year that some people weren’t going to like the changes that were coming.

For the millionth time, this game has never been a Looter Shooter, or a loot game...whatever that is.... The original writer specifically said he wanted a space Odyssey....sci-fi MMO like game, but not like every other MMO where you just throw numbers at the screen. This game is what Luke Smith thinks it should be. I can promise you, he never said loot game, or Looter Shooter. He is a WoW head. Games have loot in them....every game does. That doesn't make them loot based, loot games, or Looter Shooters. That is why you feel this game has failed as a loot game. Because it never was.

MMOs operate according to the same loot system principles. The details are just slightly different.
