Wow. Forbes... The same guys that gave the vanilla D2 a score of 9/10. As if the game didn't have Eververse since it came out, didn't have a armor set in it, bunch of shaders, exotic ornaments, ships, sparrows and emotes. But that was alright, because the game had "story". Bitch, please. Yes CoO was a really small DLC, and might not have much content, but funny enough, that doesn't matter because what matters is eververse adding more cosmetic items to it, and suddenly being the root of all evil. Come the dawning, because they added more cosmetic items, people are loosing their shit. What's even more ridiculous is the fact that D1 did this too, but somehow everyone seems to have forgotten that. They sold lots of emotes in D1, sold armor sets and when SRL was released you had to buy a book that listed your wins in each track, to get an exclusive armor set and a sparrow. TTK had not one but two armor sets in eververse. The halloween event had those stupid non permanent masks that could only become permanent by destroying other permanent masks or buying it from eververse. One of those masks was so rare that alot of people spent about 50$ to get it. But suddenly that's fine because D1 was the best ever. How about we stop being hypocritical assholes and see that as far as eververse is concerned, D1 wasn't any better. They actually still sell D1 silver, when the game isn't updated anymore. Also, care to enlighten how is content being cut or not being created in order to create more eververse items? Do you really think that the team that creates eververse items is the same that creates an expansion content? At this point it seems likely they have a team dedicated to eververse. I get it though, you're upset about microtransactions. And that's a legit feeling, especially with the invasive loot boxes we get nowadays in games. However, if you think D2 lootboxes are a cancer, you should go play Middle Earth:Shadow of War, the new Need for Speed, etc. Those games genuinely bottleneck your progression unless you buy loot boxes. Name one item in D2 being sold in eververse that gives you an advantage over someone else. Well, i guess sparrows can technically give you an advantage over someone else, since they have different speeds and perks. And yes, some of those sparrows and ships could have been quest rewards, but earning bright/illuminated engrams isn't that hard. Still, keep on bashing eververse, see if that makes any difference.
