like I swear I remember bungle saying it's just a UI change than something mandatory to play to get new gear and progress? and here's some simple changes that can really fix D2 and improve it: rework the portal to be a quickplay system to earn new gear and bonus drops bring back vendors on all destinations and make it where every time you reset ranks you get 1+ tier drops from that specific vendor making all activities like gambit and worlds worth playing again make all public events always give 1+ tier drops on completion to encourage and make exploration worth playing and put world's/destinations in the portal to encourage exploration as well, all of these things can be achieved with limited resources and it will only benefit everyone.
