Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

That first part reads as "get rid of everything I don't like." I fundamentally disagree and so do the devs. Their core design philosophy was that it was 1 cohesive world. It should stay that way.
They did start balancing weapons between game modes through design. Making perks take kills streaks or rapid kills, or by picking up drops from killing monsters, etc. Things that activate perks that can easily be completed in pve, but not so easily in pvp.
Their biggest problem, frankly, was that they didn't do d3 or sunsetting anymore. The game got too bloated and unmanageable. You didn't need new loot to do new activities and they just got stale. I agree they shouldn't have removed all that content, and the story should be replayable, like in D1... which, had they released a D3, that content probably would have existed in D2 still.
