I don't think towers runs will be any greater than running most other areas.
- For one thing, as you rightly point out, the TCs aren't all that great and even with expected balancing in 1.10 it's still only in Act 1 where people are generally a little more keen to get on with the show and go after Andariel and Radament.
- Hell level down that hole is a complete pain in the backside where the immunities really kick in and there's little room to move. There's also the chance of a one-hit kill stair trap . . . not pretty.
- Which leaves Nightmare where you can get a decent shot at the Normal uniques before chucking them in the cube for upgrades. :unsure: People will be more interested in the Rune drop I think.
I'm expecting players to start harvesting areas that suit their characters to be honest. It remains to be seen what the monster distributions are like before guessing at what those might be.
