I agree with the article as in certain aspects of the game, D3 is done is a terrible way that i cannot imagine before the game release. Terrible writing, forced cutscenes that look terrible (especially the scene that Magda killed Cain), the lines that characters said are just generic and absolutely terrible.

Adding on that, the level design isnt randomised as much as i hope which made the game feel like it has barely any content. Sure, the levels are beautiful, but looking at the same level at the 15th time would probably be boring.

And i agree with adding Auction House is a bad idea. ARPG is built on the idea of collecting loot, but the Auction House remove the purpose of collecting loot. And also, due to the Auction House, loot drops are much lower now, to encourage people to use Auction House. It is not a well thought out design to begin with, unless they just want to make money by not doing anything.

The monsters bit, i also do agree on, as Elites are just a recycle of whatever that is in the game but with some nonsensical affixes added to it. Slows down the game's pacing if you are undergeared and most of the time, i dont find it fun fighting them because they encourage excessive amount of kiting.

The bit with flies dropping armor, seriously, its just a game. It doesnt have to be 100% realistic.

However, the gameplay still holds the game together well, despite of all these flaws. If they made it worse, i think, thats a piece of garbage there.
