Why all the elitism?
I've seen lots of people saying that merely practical gear should still require item runs. I've seen people demand unfindable items like high runes stay in. I've seen others wanting to keep trading instead of using any currency because it requires the player to have more knowledge. I've seen people bashing any respec abilities because it would mean people wouldn't have to rebuild. I've seen pro-PK players spouting some "survival of the fittest" motto.
What gives? Why should any frustrating feature continue to exist when they're making a brand new game? Is there really anything that can be gained by making a game inaccessible to new players?
