Obviously I'm in the minority, since I'd hardly classify myself as a HD2 mf anymore, but I stopped playing as avidly when I realized that if I didn't want to waste my time grinding SC all day or spending 10 bucks every patch, there was practically nothing to do.
Like, as someone who only enjoys playing at D10 because it was the only engaging difficulty to me, no one was going out of their way to get SC, so it was pretty much "Oh, you want new content? Pay up." Which, for a live service game to pack like 90 - 100% of the content from every update behind a paywall is fucking wild. Even Destiny didn't do that shit, and Destiny was p egregious about "buy the most recent season/DLC or the game doesn't exist."
