A huge part of is that you can progress in this game only by sitting in a game and trading sometimes. That's why I just can't give up on playing D2 on Annihilus server, because I also don't want to farm Baal over and over again until something drops. Most of you who know me also know that I rarely farm (I will get to the point "why") and host a trade game and sell my goodies. I haven't paid any money, never scammed someone in the game and I am playing single yet I am one of the "rich" guys... and it is getting boring and boring.

People who already obtained end-game gear (who are.. %80 of the total population?) got bored of the game. Many people like me have multiple fully geared, end-game capable characters who need very limited things from game which may or may not drop at all, like Flame Horizon for me.

Also trading is ruined since almost every item in game is not rare at all and high runes are stacked too many. People who need a certain rare item like an Annihilus with a certain skill can't find something valuable to counter-offer because other party's needs are very rare aswell and it is almost impossible for two people to have these certain items to trade. Happened to me in multiple occasions.

There is almost no teamwork left in game aswell. When we had the last wipe there were max player count inferno games with people actually trying to help eachother with completing sets etc. Crucible is a certain solo-able activity for some builds meanwhile it is literally impossible for other builds to run it solo, making certain popular items like Horadric Jewels or Nephalem's Birthright a privilege for certain players.

My point is this: Let's have a season system like Blizzard servers. 3 or 4 months for each season should be more than enough. It'll keep the game satisfying and exciting. Also more gold related trades will happen which will help more dedicated players to get ready for next season and server itself to maintain the cash flow.

I guess for people who wouldn't want the ladder reset, current characters would be moved to non-ladder, like how it is supposed to be.

Thanks for reading everyone and happy farming.
There are a few people who like longer seasons though because they don't get to play as much, and they don't want everything resetting by the time they get anywhere. I have been thinking about finding a medium honestly, to keep things fresh but not making people feel like they'll lose all of their hard work too soon. Starting next year I was considering on going to a static schedule for resets so everyone knows way ahead of time when we'd reset. I am thinking a system like a reset in March, and then one in September. This gives us 6 month seasons, and this way it also keeps limited edition items such as Halloween and Christmas event items becoming useless or non-ladder as soon as you get them because it is right at the beginning or middle of the season.

I would love input on this from the players, especially people who buy Gold sometimes. Of course all characters would go to non-ladder each reset, and not get erased like the previous reset. That was a one time thing to make some huge system changes.
