1. I haven't played as much. The game is good and the storyline was decent but I've played it

and now I'm done.

How many more times can I hear the same storyline again.

I think the problem is they lost the big MF runs, those were the reason I would play D2 for ages. We'd get a group of 8 people to all do a Cow Rush or Meph run and we would do it over and over again. I remember the first area of Act 5 was a huge MF run. We would run that sequence over and over and over and over again in hell and each one would be filled with 8 people per group.

There just isn't any MF (Magic Find) run that you can sequence over and over again. And Whismyfaire, although adorable and funny in nature, doesn't provide the drops the way that the Cow run would do.

And honestly, I think what hurts the most is that there isn't that one elusive item that everyone wants to find. In D2, having Stone of Jordan rings (or SOJ) was like having gold in your pocket. People didn't want cash when they swapped equipment but wanted payment in SOJ. Sure it setup a big blackmarket in duped items but for those of us who played legal it was something to strive for. I think they have SoJ in D3 but they haven't become legendary like they were in D2.

Honestly the first thing that Blizzard needs to do if they want to bring back the players is to increase the number of people per room. THat's just my 2 cents.
