I'm very confused why they are adding greater rifts/gem in the game. There's much more pressing matters to focus on that I won't bother bringing up - trading and PvP.
Now I'm not a game developer, but is it really that hard to set up a limit on paragon level? That is the number one reason to have a ladder system in the first place. I would think it's more time consuming to do implement greater rifts than setting up a "race to level..."

Because race to X and reset is only interesting to a very limited subset of players while Greater Rifts service the needs of a much greater % of their players.
D3 isn't made for the hardcore D2 players. It caters to a much wider audience.

No it doesn't. Tell me what value does greater rifts bring to the game that it currently doesn't have?

Just got back into this game and got a fist of az from kadala. I better do more T6 rifts before 2.1 hits live.

additional content is not a value that the game doesn't have. greater rifts is just rifts spiced up.
the entire d3 cycle has been: farm for end game items -> add even better items and harder monsters -> farm for more end game items.
add something else besides "additional content for people to spend their on time on farming end game items."

Progression beyond just gear which is important since its a lot more meaningful to get to Rift level 10 then it is to find a perfect rolled item.

i don't understand what you mean, why's progressing to rift lvl 10 more meaningful?

You don't get it because as you said yourself, this stuff isn't for you. People like numbers and achievements to show their progress.
|
oh please. what numbers and achievements are there.
but you're right, finishing 150,000 bounties for 10 achievement points isn't for me.

by its very nature, additional content is a value added. just because you dont think its enough doesnt change that. people like the greater rifts and the ideas behind them. myabe you dont, but whatever.

again, greater rift is not an additional content beceause it is already there in the game

pake, you're stubbornly arguing semantics and I know you realize that's what you're doing. Greater rifts are an improvement over the current rifts. It's obv not what you want but it's appealing to many D3 players, along with a ladder and new items/gems.
For those of you chiming about PvP, what's wrong with hunting grounds or w/e?

i guess the new legs and skills arent additional content because we already have skills and legs, right?

Exactly what I'm saying. However skill changes are a balance issue and that's a whole topic altogether.

why is it semantics? yes, greater rifts an improvement, however it brings absolutely zero to the table. if it does more people would be playing d3 today
if it may not be what you guys want but adding an actual ladder instead of the "pseudo-ladder" in 2.1 will fix the majority of the problems in the game

you dont like their ladder as well?
|
the ladder is the entire point of my posts. greater rifts shouldn't be the ladder, the "race to level..." should be.

did you just crawl out from under a rock to complain? its been known for a number of weeks, if not months, that seasons are coming out next patch, not just leaderboards for GRs.
