The problem is that Bungie built D2 in hopes that they can cash in on MLG. Instead of RPG style class trees, they basically give you 18 “heroes” to choose from that are easier to balance in competitive modes. That’s also why there are so few exciting weapons or exotic armor. Without things to chase due to the overwhelming blandness of “balance” there basically is no endgame. The only thing that will save D2 is to abandon serious competitive gameplay as the way forward in order to liberate Bungie to make a game that people enjoy playing. Otherwise, “balance” will kill off what remains of D2.
