There was a time in earlier development stages when I was seriously thinking about transforming RoT into full fledged D2 copy (including numerization and everything that goes with it) in order to have 3D “modern” looking version of the game as there was no evidence that the official remaster would ever happen. Now, there is no reason to do so and thus RoT takes the road of embracing GD and mixing it up with D2 elements for unique gameplay experience. The process of adjusting GD content hasn’t started yet so GD stuff is often underwhelming compared to custom RoT gear but this will no longer be an issue in the future so the argument about “bloating / diluting” the loot pool won’t be valid.
