Ok, so I've always been a hardcore raider by all definitions of the word. I could sit in a raid for hours on end (forgoing people failing at the same mechanics lol) working on progression on a boss, etc and technically speaking Diablo 3 is, to me nothing more than a never-changing raid. I mean that Act 1 could be considered the first wing of a dungeon, Act 2 the second wing, etc.
It's the same with Path of Exile for me and why I couldn't be bothered to even play it more in beta. For some reason, I just can't look at D3 the same way as any game, and get extremely bored running the same thing over and over and over and over again. Perhaps it's because 99.9% of the gear that drops isn't an upgrade in any way, shape or form and I'm nowhere near geared well? Perhaps it's because unlike any other raiding MMO outside of an expansion coming out (adding one new raid wing persay with RoS) it's always the same exact raid and bosses? Perhaps it's because D3 isn't really meant to be played more than say 3 run-throughs a day or something?
I think it's a pretty decent game, don't get me wrong, but I don't know... lol
I really don't know if this was meant as a question, general opinion or what but I'm just curious how you guys play the same exactly? Can you actually play for more than 30 minutes a day? How do you make it feel "fun" by running the same thing over, and over, and over, and over again?
