Same for me, started playing D2 at launch (No console sir wasn’t able to play D1).
PvE only, PvP when cheese was possible.
Loved the game, the story, the great gameplay and shoot/power feeling.
Stayed in for years but, in indsight I played more and more because I felt I needed to instead of wanted to.
They started vaulting content with shitty excuses, made the game very hard for new players (best way to kill it long term), added monetisation and FOMO left and right.
FOMO finally burned me out before lightfall. Didn’t preco and that was the smart thing to do.
This extension was simply scandalous: rushed, very poorly written, bad characters (and there wasn’t that much of them). It was hastly put together to be able to push final shape and it felt.
Quite there and then.
On one hand I’m happy I stopped giving money to a Company that clearly didn’t give a fuck to both its players and employees.
On another hand it’s a shame because the game was good, art direction incredible, story - even if sometime badly narrated and complicated- was deep and great.
Edit: ah gambit was great, especially with a full team.
