Diablo III

When you say "with people saying how its in maintenance mode," you're just talking about yourself, right? You're literally the only person I've ever heard say that.

I was curious and did a Google search. Apparently a couple people made posts about a year ago on the official forums mentioning maintenance mode - which is interesting as Ryyaann continues to bring this subject up as though it's the present tense.

Of course, he is the only person around here who brings up the term.

I say it to bait Ryan and I'm never actually serious

I think that's the other problem, he has said "Even Mad_Cow agrees that xxxx" a number of times, when you're clearly just screwing around. You'd think he'd learn by now what you're all about.

Well if you take all of his comments as being sarcastic it makes sense

Can you provide a source to back up your claim that "activity is basically at its lowest point in the game right now"

Common sense. It's a 5 year old game that has its content development slowed to a crawl. It's not like the game grew in players/activity with RoS...

If you can't see that it is clearly not as active as it once was in D3V, then I can't help you.

shouldn't expect 50 expansions a week given the original business model that D1 D2 and D3 all share. This isn't f***ing Path of throw me a frickin bone for gods sake.

Even then though, Path of Exile doesn't have "50 expansions a week", nor does it even have 1 patch a week. Your exaggeration doesn't really do anything. Was it really too much to ask for maybe a few expansions instead of just 1 (the same amount D2 has)?

I mean if we're being honest, it's just a little sad how even though we're 10 Seasons/Eras deep, we're still doing the same things (Rifts and GRs with Sets) 3 S/Es ago, 5 S/Es ago, and even 9 S/Es ago, due to the lack of actual content.

How is it sad? It's amazing! Diablo 3 has great longevity to have players want to keep doing the same things for 10 seasons.

Oh I see he pulled out the if we're being honest card

Yay, that's my s***poster Bingo card complete! *dances with joy*

So that's a 'no' then? Got it! Anyhow, if we're talking about common sense, I would say it's common sense that the game is probably more active now, since primals were just added, than it probably was around the same time last year, when I think nothing had really changed for a couple of patches. Common sense, right? Don't worry about trying to help me, I'm obviously not the one here who needs it.
