> Fair PVP and Personal Loot are both rapidly becoming genre standard, since the only people who complain are griefers/trolls.

Or people who simply thinks everything being fair all the time is boring. Guess why free for all, super unfair battleroyale games is so popular? Fair is boring and has always been boring.

> Both games are painfully easy when you're starting out. I think Diablo 1 is the only game in the franchise that was even slightly challenging in the first half?

I am too young to have played D1, but I remember D2 first act being very hard. Dying many, many times starting out and the first act boss was very hard. In d3, its pretty much impossible to die the first time you play through it. Since I like playing hardcore, it's not even a bit frightening.

I don't know if these things existed when it came out, haven't really played d3 since then. But I just thought D3 was much more linear with a narrow path to push forward. I think it could be the artwork, often you are on some mountain, bridge or something like it with a background of something that is far away making it feel like you're on a narrow path.

I don't really care if it is narrow though, it's the other stuff that is so frustratingly annoying. Blizzard has forgotten how to make fun games. That is why you will probably see surge to World of Warcraft: Classic because it is like most their other games, much better in it's classic form than the shit we have today.
