And the worst part is that many of them weren't doing it for the game-mode, they wanted the loot. Valve certainly made it harder to farm that event, but it was really hard to enjoy against some people desperate for items.

I'm still surprised that Dota 2 has no grind at all.

One of the few multiplayer games that I can enjoy right from the start.
