So you can drop this whole "lol you never played back then, you don't know how good it really was!" bullshit. I experienced firsthand how clunky and shitty it was.
Hit rating was not "fucking amazing", it was tedious for reasons I explained earlier. Having to always fuck about with making sure you're "hit capped" was not fun or interesting, it was just a boring chore and prevented you from equipping new gear.
Resist gear was not "fucking amazing", it was tedious to carry around, made you do less dps/healing because it usually only had stam+resist on it, and you practically NEEDED this shit for some encounters. It was not fun having to farm resist gear for 25 people just to do a single encounter. It was tedious as all fuck.
I like older expansions, but I'm not completely fucking blinded by nostalgia like you seem to be.
