Interesting. Add a feature, remove a feature. Obviously intended to slow down power-levelling, but why walk it back?

This is groundbreaking; Blizzard would normally rather nerf 99.9% of a game to rebalance it, rather than reverting a single change and admitting fault.

Although I'm guessing it's because tons of streamers and high level players complained to people at blizzard directly, saying they wouldn't play or promote the first season if they couldn't power level.

Because they have no consistent vision for the game and don't know what they're doing, so they panic and start toggling various levers.

Blizzard took the age old wisdom of "less is more" and decided they knew better.

Because apparently people were complaining. I just wish they would rip off the band-aid and turn this game into D3 since that's apparently what people really want after doing nothing but complaining about it for 11 years.

Why does removing the level requirement that this game hasn’t had other than for 24 hours mean people want this game to be D3? Are you projecting cuz I’m not understanding the logic of your comment.

It's not this single thing. Just go look at battle net forums or Reddit. It's nothing but complaining about departures from D2/D3 systems.

I was completely unaware that anybody was unhappy with the game until I went to report a bug on the D4 battle net forum and I was met with 50 different threads complaining about this, that, or the other.

Every change, even this un-doing, gets negative comments. Maybe they just regret the move. And took it away. That's big on them. Why try and turn it into something more. Admitting they are wrong is good. How and why do some people need to try and make even that into something bad? Baffles me.

Good change, but the patch still has way too many pain points for me to play it. It's a shame. I was really having fun before the patch.
