I've uttered those words so many times.

You'll understand when I say, it's why we play progression games, we know the game is to progress, not stagnate and not instant grats.

But as astonishing as it might seem to those who realise this, the majority of gamers today and indeed developers go by [to quote Bashiok of Blizz] "obviously everyone wants the best gear possible, as soon as possible". Thus, the journey is merely an obstacle and the method irrelevant in anything else but its speed.

Shame.

And yet in your own apocalyptic preditions you suggest that vast swathes of players will move to this new SFL. Ergo, one community becomes extremely strong and robust... the popular one. The less popular ones wither and die.

You see something wrong with this?

I care nothing for competition, races, ladders, etc.

I want slow but steady, constant progress.

The randomness of loot and a hefty dose of RNG, as opposed to the prescribed account-bound reward for competing Task #152, is what makes ARPGs ARPGs.

Slow, steady, constant progress isn't an ARPG like Diablo (2), it's an MMORPG (like WoW).

Well, I guess this was your point.

That depends on how you see 'slow, steady, constant progression.' Because you can have that with a shit ton of RNG.

I'd say the shopping game we have now isn't an aRPG like Diablo 2, I'd say the trade-access content isn't either.
