Lets make a simple experiment with loot. Early access is a good time for experiments. During a season give all players the option to choose between 2 modes of looting: lots of loot, but lower in quality and significantly less (lets say 50% during campaign and 90% endgame) loot, but higher quality.
The total number of actual gear improvements should be roughly the same for both modes. This way, we'll see which kind of looting experience players actually prefer, when being able to experience both, switch between them and compare them directly. I believe the outcome of this experiment would lead to different results than merely asking players for what kind of looting experience they want or listening to their complains.

Anyone would rather have better loot, but if the game only drops great items then the value of great items plummets, everyone has great stuff, and retention dies. That's the opposite of what they want in a grinding game to retain players.
If we had an option to have the Miller drop the full set of BiS items for our class most players would take it, then quickly decide the game is boring and there's nothing to strive for and quit. Last edited by AbyssianOne#1625 on May 5, 2026, 4:43:30 PM

I suggest the opposite just to make the game fun - less loot
less loot -> more engagement -> life feels more meaningful and rewarding when you get rewarded isnt it common sense? compared to getting everything you want within 1-2 weeks and then feel its all pointless (if we wanted to play brainless arcade we'd prob play counter strike or D4 or Last Epoch) |

Choose better loot -> farm one spot per act till you get what you want -> skip rest of act.
Thats whats gonna happen If the forums were a mediaval court, it would be filled with jesters and doomsayers
