Not stupid at all… you obviously just don’t have the IQ to figure out why it is not stupid.

do you have 50xBER + 100xJAH on sale on those websites for 50$ each so you do not want others get them in game but to buy them from you to get rich?

Allowing players to create 8-man difficulty games online (private or public) is quite tricky, but it could be viable (in my opinion) :
- If you don’t have the capacity to farm these games, you won’t make such games.
- If you have farmed enough and be able to farm this high-end difficulty games ; you should be allowed to do it.
Some people would say that low-geared people will only try to farm, for example Lower Kurast chests to get the maximum “reward VS risk”, but it is exhausting in the long run. It is exhausting to battle for your life just to get to click on a chest in an area full of monsters that you can’t kill or tank at your current gear level.
However, in an advanced stage, when characters are geared enough, they should be allowed to create games that suit their ability to farm this level of difficulty, despite having enough connected friends to do so.
I’m sure some people would do their best to accomodate their build set-ups/comps with friends and optimize the HELL out of it to get the best of this new system, but these people would commit to the point where they would deserve it.
I’m not sure if this post will get the appreciation I had in mind, or this post is not good, but these are my “two cents”. Please be kind, english is not my native language.

your english is very good and you explained it very well. anyway, you can expect bad comments from dinosaurs around here because they support boots and selling items with real money(against EULA BTW), and, they are crazy those days since game is dead and nobody buy their booted items.
I am a Dinosaur but I fully agree with him :P.
But I guess it would be to tooooo hard for Blizzard’s busy ape devs implement something like that.

Hiho, dinosaur here. I agree fully with Joe.
@Danutz: Yes, I support boots! People are walking around bare-footed way too long!

Totally agree with the idea to allow Players X in multiplayer. There is lack of endgame content in d2r, so it really helps to adjust game difficulty.

First of all, many thanks for your kind comments.
I’m not sure about the “dinosaur” thing, but from what I perceive, a “dinosaur” is a experienced-long-lasting player of Diablo 2, and I am not ashamed to claim to be one, because I am one.
BTW, nice joke with boots 
I think you two meant “bots”.
As I explained before, players should be rewarded for the challenges they encounter.
D2 is already balanced for this challenges, so that games in /players 1 to 8 face the the endeavour they deserve.
As a side note, (and I am no level/game designer or whatsoever), I was wondering if character level would be a criteria for creating high /players X games.
For sure a bad idea when presented as such - as I can already hear some screams from here - but it may be a start for some constructive feedback.

I am also one of those “dinosaur” from when I enjoyed playing the game since patch 1.09 and gosh those cow levels were fun before it got nerfed but within reason.
Also have nothing against and would love to see this feature added, my main concern is just it is tricky work to get it added without messing anything up and would they code wise be able to even do it bug free!
Back in the day when selling items for monetary gain was frowned upon and thus no one even dared to mention them in the first place, what most average Joe’s don’t get is that some of those have people who run through each patched version of Diablo 2 LoD just to find bugs you can abuse, with the wanted feature on this topic imagine if there was a detrimental bug in the /players x command to mimic a 8x8 = 64 players difficulty, that would break the game! 
-edit- For those who don’t believe me, how else would they have found out about this infamous duping methods.
It is stupid but a clown like you will never understand why. Back to your circus negative iq.

I would rather have a /players x command in the game than constantly create games called “O Sur N IK belt” to attract players to increase the drug rates.
With my Necro (Hassgesang) I can kill all area from a1 to a5 up to 5 player games solo.
What are you saying dude?
Too many ppl ask for /player command in online even some hardcore diablo players that stream asked for it and at the survey it was the most requested along with a currency tab, third was more endgame options and 4rth a charm inv , i guess it will happen at some point cause of the noise hopefully sooner than later , i want all the above tbh but bliz will take their time to make patches and ladders more interesting , Now i want to make a point about bots , dont see how are they are gonna make the servers worst cause the same amount of bots that enter games now will enter later , also lets say d2r get more popular by the day they should be able to support us customers if we decide all to create a game to play alone even in difficulty 1, Also just cause it will exist that doesnt mean that everybody can use it, it wont make the poor rich but it will make the rich richer, but as you progress through the game and you are bound to make a fortune at some point it would be a nice reward to get some more drops, if anyone thinks that once the change is made then suddently we will be swimming in high runes then lol you will be disappointed ,
For me i am midway to rich and i could farm 4 or 5 and if they make the change i dont have in mind hr cause this would be hard still but farming keys from nilthahak who i believe hates me (2 min per run have to kill him 120 times for 3 keys) or easier token for respecs since slots are so low and limited you want them thats my first thought , then the xp then ok some easier high runes,
Also a thought they could do this in online only and ladder could not use it , think that will make the majority happy, ladder could be a race and a fresh start where normal onlline could be how rich you are and getting richer . Some of us wont have the time cause of work and families to play ladder at least i wont , getting some love in the current onlline could be cool so it wont be dead dead
And the bots won’t be able to do “alone” /player 4-8 difficulty.
I just assume here, but I think he means luring/jebaiting people with “O Jah N Spirit” titles to have /Players x while farming. Which is scummy on one side but on the other less scummy what those hoppers do in stealing exp spots or even worse bricking questing/rush games. Which all leads back to the thrash lootsystem that is only made for bots, cheating pickit users and greedy overlord goblins.
As far as I know, bots in D2R are non-existent.
At least from my standard player point of view.
I’ve never seen baal/diablo bots running in any of the public D2R games I’ve played, and if it happened without my knowledge, I would have noticed a change in the trade/exchange rates of goods.
I couldn’t say this for D2 LoD, but D2R Battle.net is not concerned by this, and it surely does not affect our daily player lives.
On the other side, please note that the vulnerabilities hackers exploited on D2, were made possible because of the D2 legacy servers conception by themselves (cf : packet sniffing, etc…)
As far as I know, D2R server games are the “cleanest games” (regarding to bots) of all D2 times. Is this not what we were looking for years ago ?
Clearly said : As there are no bots, creating a custom game difficulty (public or private) shouldn’t be the right way to satisfy nowadays everyone playstyle?
PS : It would also prevent some players from creating games like “O Enigma N unrealistic item” and keep the game-list as clean as possible.
As always, feel free to comment/argue/destroy these ideas presented here as it will surely benefit from this awesome community.
Best regards,
Am I the single one who has the game list full of split mf and cow games where people roam the map farming certain areas without any conflict? You don’t need to create fake games or ruin other players leveling progression to be able to farm in high no of players games.
Have in mind that patch 2.4 will bring new level 85 areas that will enable players to stay more than 10-15minutes in split mf and cow games not to mention that certain areas will be optimal farmed only by certain builds. Enough for everybody. Diablo is a multiplayer game and the ‘multi’ part shouldn’t be limited to just trading and leveling.

Yes you are… Funny how you always are opposed to anything new in this game. Why don’t you just join the classic D2 community?
You are absolutely right, there are a lot of these games. Nevertheless, if you create a game like “a1 no rush plz”, and after a while (i.e. doing Caine, no one leaving, 4-6 ppl in party on way to Andy per pedes) you can be absolutely sure that there will be a high level char joining the game, wordlessly starting to tele to Meph etc etc).
We always had to create a new game. Not to attract more players, but to reset the needed parts of the game.
There are people who will always go this way, because they lack the social skills to even commmunicate in these split mf games.
They see these split games, but what does that mean to them? ok, the creator does cows, but what are these other 5 ppl doing? “Naah, I’ll join “a2 duri plz”!”
Not to help with duri ofc, but because i see 4x lvl 7x and 2 lvl 1 chars. No competition.
I mean, most ppl cant farm ppl8 games not really efficient. Let them fight Meph in epic 5 minutes and get gear for that.
I can hear them yelling “YEAH SHAKO!!! I KNEW IT!!” all over the forums.
And to everyone thinking he might get really rich with this change:
No, you will not.
Its not about drop rates, its about what you pick up.
min dmg +13 doesnt look so mighty, but if its on the right item and has the right color, you get 10 Ists for it.
True story.
What I’m really looking forward to is the new lvl85 areas.
Hope that stirrs everything up a little bit. But then I’d be happy if all the whiners would just leave the game alone, too. So I feel like I can only win here 
I don’t know what makes you say that. My activity on this forum is public. You can check.
I am all for changes…add new items, balance items, add new runewords, cube recipies, new content, new events like uber tristam, better stash management, improved lobby system, make balance changes etc…Just don’t touch the loot drops, no personal loot and no /player8 in Battlenet. Otherwise sky is the limit.
