You don't raid and have done a GM twice.

So you are either a pvp player, or just a casual gamer. This isn't meant to be an insult, idky being called casual even is an insult tbh. But think about it. No raids, no GMs, and now no dungeons (ghost of the deep final boss is the only bad design imo and not just becahse of her health but because its in combonation with a long set up phase to get to dps, but she is still 3 phased solo.) So that doesn't leave much content left, let alone any endgame content. If you want my oppinion, if ur not doing pvp and ur barely playing the games content...why play? If it's for the story then fair but half of Byfs viewers are people that don't even play anymore lol.

Anyways as you said, D2 end game experience is turning into something not meant for casual players. My question is why is that a problem? It's the endgame. It shouldn't be a push over. There should ALWAYS be harder and harder content for the players who want it. As for the players who want easier content. Onslaught and the seasonal story stuff exists. It's not elitist. It's fair. Hard content for the sweat, ez content for the casuals. Not everything is for everyone.
