DII vs. Titan Quest

Quote:I really don't understand your points about hacks and bots. That's an indictment of a human tendency to make things as easy as possible even at the cost of long term benefits, rather than of game randomization. While Blizzard does have a lot of responsibility for the vast scope of this behavior in D2, the problems lie mostly in their security architecture and enforcement of their own EULA.
You'll note an even greater lack of activity in the LL TQ forum, despite that game being a few years more recent.

While I have difficulty remembering my motives coming from a lack of sleep-induced state, I suspect my point was that since Diablo II is lauded as at least a highly successful and popular game (whether or not it is any good aside), and I think I'd say a majority (based on personal experience, not raw data), or its users elect to go outside the EULA at the (admittedly miniscule) risk of having accounts banned simply to skip the random factor, there was some correlation between the public's enjoyment of games and lack of random factor.

Quote:Silly reply, I know, but only proportionally to the initial comment. Seriously, was that intended to support a conclusion?

I think it was subconsciously intended to give me a break from the 12 hour Materials Lab write-up. I have no idea what that one was doing coming out of my "mouth" besides eliciting equally stupid and/or aggressive replies. Sour grapes were involved.



And I haven't looked at the Hellgate stuff since my HDD died. Which I still haven't gotten fixed. Stupid *frantically looks around for something to blame*...me. At first I was trying to milk the warranty, but now I just REEEEEAALLY don't want to call them anymore. I'm almost to the point of considering getting it fixed locally for a "small fee". If I do that, I really hope it's not the MoBo that died.
