Never understood the need for sparsity on the loot, materials and currencies earnings and holdings in this game at all. This is NOT an mmo despite what some misguided game developers tried forcing it to be.

So D2 isn't a looter shooter because D1's patrols give more frequent drops?

No shot am I spending ten minutes of my life watching someone get random drops in a seven year old video game, but from the minute that I watched, all I saw was: -Strange coins, which don’t even exist in D2 right now, from random world chests -Legendary engrams from world chests, which were already pretty rare and should never be the best option for farming loot anyway -Banshee giving armsday weapons. Was cool, but he literally sells weapons now anyway, the only difference is that A- he sells them throughout the week so you don’t need to make sure that you’re around at a specific time to get them iirc and B- you could only get one armsday weapon per week, so there’s less restriction on getting your new shiny toys -Random legendary engram drops from a boss, which we still get now, legendary engrams just kinda got phased out so we just get the weapon/armor immediately Idk fam, I’m getting spammed with legendaries on a constant basis. Not really an issue for me
