I play mostly single player, only multiplayer is LAN... and this is about right.
Any decent player can get through Normal, even with bad equipment or a bad build.
Nightmare requires some intelligence (and luck) both in item choice and in skill/stat point use.
Hell, well, the last couple Acts anyway, is where the better characters can solo. Hell on players 8 is the land only the well designed, well equiped characters can survive, at least soloing.
It is too bad that Blizzard has left (up to 1.10 at least) no realistic method for single player gamers to ever see most of the sets/uniques/runewords. Not everyone has a good enough connection to play on Bnet, and even of those, many are completely sick of the dupes, hacks, and PKers that make Bnet the, um, less the pefect :angry: system that it has become.
These new rune words may 'break' realms... but I have my doubts. For the non-BNet-ers though, it really doesn't matter. They'll likely never seem 'em anyway.
