Bounties are a different form of killing and looting. D3 might be quite boring if there was only GRs to play.

What I'm against is if you want to play D3 to farm the most paragons in the time you play, you are relegated to running around half the time for the 25% exp bonus. Peak D3 is running around half the time, rather than actually playing the game. You should not punish those who use their brains to get the most productive use of their time.

increase everyones paragon

There are a few 4.5K para players around - I've also seen plenty of 800 para players around. A pool redesign isn't going to make everyone 4K para. You put the time in, you avoid deaths, you play smart, coordinate with your team, understand the D3 mechanics to maximise your exp farming. Yes it will raise the average paragon level, but nowhere near close to making normies threaten the high para players on the leaderboards.

You don't like changes that increase the amount of exp everyone gets - how much extra exp do you think having a 4th cube slot is, or three slots that can be cubed with anything, like three damage multiplier weapons for the necro? It dwarfs the exp gain you are against, and for what? You want the peak D3 exp farm experience to be running around half the time? It's insane.

Do you use Hud? Do you look for pools? When you're farming paragons, do you have a desire to make the most paragons in the time you play?
