Someone on here the other day called it payware, and that's what it is. It's not pay-to-play or pay-to-win, because OW2 and D4 aren't fun to play, and there is no ending. You pay to work, then if you are interested enough to pay for cosmetics, you pay for those too. My wife and I are three levels from 100, and are dreading completing the last few levels. It feels like a part-time job, it's miserable. We really enjoyed the last few seasons of D3. I don't see myself continuing to play any Blizzard game after D4 season 1.
If you guys are dreading it… why not just stop playing if you guys aren’t playing with anybody else?
If a game isn’t fun, I don’t see why people would go play the game and think “I should reach this part of the game” or “I have to complete this grind”. Like I played a shitload of GTAO solo and once I realized I was basically starting to get bored and grinding out money and rep was basically becoming a second job, I dropped the game completely and moved on. Nothing is worth wasting your time on something like that imo, not even getting that sick digital cosmetic nobody will care about nor reaching an arbitrary level that won’t mean shit once the next season rolls out.
