@skymningsdagar I pointed it out to save you the hassle of running into bigger problems or wastes of time in the future. Starting over on Single Player is one of the funnest things there is. I had a hard drive crash and had to restart in the last year or two. I love having to start over or playing untwinked characters, where items you would typically throw down on bnet or if you had tons of high level twinked characters, become awesome finds. Makes for more excitement. Once you start having tons of gear, you have to resort to weird builds or untwinked and finding things that would cause great excitement when starting over, mean nothing.
But if you aren't into the grind, then I would understand why you would go to online or a different forum. Some D2 players want all items to their disposal the whole time they are playing. They run bots, import items or do things that takes the grind out. Usually they are pure PK players and play on Bnet. That is why I left Bnet, the people would constantly fight my pleas for bots, hacks, dupes to be eliminated and how much better it would make Bnet. Even on ladder, they would claim dupes and bots make the game experience better somehow. I asked why they didn't just play Non Ladder or go join a Private PK Server if they wanted everyone to have items handed to them and for everyone to have the exact same setups. These people were frustrating to say the least. But it got me here, so I am happy for that. These were typically people who ran tons of bots or bought all of their items and somehow couldn't grasp the concept that people can actually duel without having end game items in every single slot. That just because people wouldn't have every overpowered runeword, rare, charms, etc. doesn't mean people couldn't still duel. They just wanted to have an unfair advantage over everyone else. Never will I understand it. Bnet is trash until they actually take legitimacy seriously. Cheaters and BM kids. They ruin dueling with things like autoaim and chicken and ruin the economy with bots and dupes.
Disclaimer: Not referring to you as the Bnet crowd that advocates for bots, dupes and hacks constantly. None of this was about you. I was just trying to save you from problems down the road and explain why I left bnet. You probably wouldn't be here if you were like those people lol.
