Insipid. Wreathed in sloth. Fur matted, until they pitifully bleat for their shearers to saunter over and trim their woolly hide.
This is what Blizzard has become. Weak, groveling lambs, who have abandoned their fleeces, in pursuit of a mirage. A sinister illusion, designed to lead them astray and have them inevitably plummet from the precipice into the abyss. Stripped of former glory, domesticated, coddled, yet once they were robust. Herculean wolves in their own might, such as I. In the days of yore, their claws were sharpened, honed at the whetstone, their bared fangs dripped with saliva, ready to tear prey apart, and their manes bristled at the sight of a foe. Verily, they were once formidable, filling all around them with dread. Yet now they are lauded and mocked, jeered at by those who would once be quashed in a single blow. It is dreadful to espy what has occurred to this once austere company, but alas, if they wish to become a cub, then let them be so. Those who believe themselves virtuous, because they have no fury in them will rue the day when the wolf hunts and gnaws upon the lamb.

This game could be very fun, if the developers were not trying their best to make sure it is NOT!
The first 2 hours of the game went like this: I played the prologue, I got to the town, the game marked a quest for me called welcome back booster as an "introduction quest", I got it, the next thing, I got a message "You have now completed the main campaign!" and then I got to level 50 and had bunch of legendary crap. So, fun game.
Then, I created a new character, cause you know, I had paid money, I wanted to play this game. I finished the prologue, I got some level ups, but I realized I'm kinda super OP compared to my friend who had not gotten the welcome back booster. Then I checked, and apparently you keep a lot of level ups and discovered items on ur second character as well, cause you know, you finished the campaign in 30 minutes, you deserve it!
After that I made a whole new battlenet account and did my best to avoid the welcome back booster. But this game REALLLLLY wants you to get that that, probably cause they want you to go ahead and buy the DLC cause the main game will be useless after you get this. So now I am 12 hours into the game, and 7 hours of it has been spent UNTRACKING welcome back booster, why? because the freaking game keeps marking this STUPID quest for you. So you are playing the game, have a quest far away, you are using the map to find you path, then wait a second, the welcome back booster has been tracked. Now you are in middle of 50 beasts with no idea where the f*&k to go!
And it is not just the welcome back booster, the game constantly gives you ways to get OP and suck all the fun out of the game . Even the current event they have keep giving you "gambling" gems which give you items that can literally kill bosses in one hit. The game has completely forgotten that it has a main F*CKING campaign and has put EVERYTHING on to the DLC, they just want you to get directly into that. The event gives you items that you can only use if you have level 60, which with 12 hours can only be happening if you have the welcome back booster and some play time on top of it.
So yeah, if the game would stop with this nonsense and let newcomers enjoy the main campaign as it should be instead of pushing you towards trying the new DLC story, it could be nice, but I honestly would not recommend this game. I still am going to finish the main game cause, well I have paid , but I highly recommend avoid this mental torture of a bad terrible horrible seriously stupid game design .
