Decent VS Crooked

I finally realized the difference between Diablo II and POE is like this.

I could always became an hero with integrity of mind(skill tree) and body(equipment) in D2, but always ended up twisting mind and body to get out of grinding in POE.

I was a true master of elements or martial weapons to defend Sanctuary, meanwhile I had to cook up recipes to trick the basic natural law of Wraeclast for stone business.

So POEs are never D2-like games, just mimics consist of distorted ideas.
