Exactly the reason why D4 falls flat after a while. I’m not on the “D4 bad” hate wagon, there’s definitely things I liked about the game. But the Smart Loot is so fucking awful. D2 you play two times. First your actual playthrough. Second you find all kinds of crazy stuff that makes you go “time to roll a new sorc and try this item!”. It’s what keeps you coming back over and over again. The itemization is unrivaled imo. D4 loot is boring to the point I don’t even want to look at it after a couple of dungeons.
