I didn't expect 2.1 to be that good, it finally gave sence to everything you doing! Greater rifts are so fun to do in hardcore, when you really push yourself because leaderboards and such on high tiers, even when you proc u still wanna go on! Before, when you could clear t6 the game was over. Getting more gear was ofc nice improving your stats but in general pointles. But now it's not because you complete with other players progressing in GR. Those who gave up on D3 before 2.1 try it out, imo it's almost completely different game now .
