I get what you're saying.

I would say my main concern, being that I like doing multiple playthroughs in an arpg, is I'm particularly not fond of D3's more personalized loot system. I like having a stash, and I like saving gear that might be useless for my current build but useful for another playthrough. Give me sorceress gear on my barbarian playthrough, I love it and I'll find a use for it.

However, from what I understand they want to do seasons again, and likewise with PoE's leagues, I'll probably only play 1-3 characters so how useful that type of system is as compared to GD that doesn't do seasons is a different matter I suppose. Right now in D3 I might do one character every season, but that might be more of a fault on D3's gameplay design than itemization and simplifying of stats. I can only do so many rifts before I find it boring.
