I posted this on another comment but it applies here too. Exactly this. I could hop on D1 right this minute and get a "new" gun in little time whatsoever and with some time invested, could find a good gun eventually. On D2, there's only so many guns you could ever find and they're all the same every time you find them. They made mods out to be a way to craft the gun with whatever perks fit your play style and that's simply not the case. You take the same gun and put the same mod on it so it's the same thing as everyone else's. Where's the fun in that? That's not a grind. That's only an inconvenience of time with no real payoff. I'm still enjoying the game because I'm a filthy casual, but I can see the end of the road. I never felt like I was done with D1 and had finished it completely. With D2, I can see that there's a point where there's simply nothing else for me to do.
