I somewhat disagree. It's not so much there is a grind, but what you get for grinding. Back in d1 I had no problem spending a day doing planmat loops and some strikes and pvp so I could accomplish whatever. I sat on Mars for hours waiting for warsats to drop for sleeper. I spent days farming special planmats for the exotic swords. (I could go on here but you get my point I hope.) But here in d2 I dont have the same drive. I dont want to do say strikes for x thing. I dont want to do x public event to fill whatever bar for a quest I barely want to grind crucible/IB for whatever thing And why is this? What changed? I want to go back but I can't. I know I have changed but I cant help but feel the grind itself has changed to the point where the reward for it is not even worth it in the long run in most cases.
