Okay I get that we have to farm ubers, and or faction which is a huge grind. and then you have to be lucky enough to get a uber to shard. That I get.
But after collecting 4 Sparks, now you have to farm 50 Million Gold as well. Blizzard you have created way to many time sinks with this patch, and made it a nightmare to farm gold to gear up, re-roll and just generally be productive in the game in a decent amount of time.
They have lost their way. They focus on pleasing the streamers, who apparently ask them for these types of things, and forget about casual players like us when we must be more than 90% of the game’s potential players.
I have the game since pre-sale, I played the campaign and I thought it was good, then I played a little of the first season but I soon got bored of having to look at the objects one by one to see if any of them matched what I was looking for. After this patch I thought they were going to fix it, at least the objects are no longer so difficult to calculate if they are better than the equipped ones, however the tempering is overwhelming, dozens of trips to improve a single object to the maximum, that’s counting that you can Reach level 61 of the well, which is when they start giving you the last materials.
Thousands of loot items that I don’t even look at directly, I break them. Does anyone look at them? With what intention, improve a statistic by 2%? Absurdly designed dungeons (like the one with the portals), oneshoot of the bosses and elites even if you have maximum resistances and a huge amount of HP.
The truth is that since D2 this has not raised its head, in 2 at least when you dropped a legendary it was like “wooow, I’m going to see if it’s better”, here you drop one and it’s “bah, another one to break”. And uniques have become absurd, why do I want a unique if I can’t enchant it the way I want?
I’m going to get criticized for this comment, but…
They haven’t even seen the correct way in a picture.
They just moved the stone wall that blocks your progress a bit further.
I dont even know where to get those, Ive got 1 and absolutely no idea where from. 
Wait… crafting an uber costs 50M? Lol
Daaaaang… I did not catch that lol
Thats not the end of the world, but the gold sinks in general are a bit too high.
If the most efficient use of your time in a play session is whispers, I don’t think that’s a healthy game state for D4.
Its like 10 tree of whispers caches… Cmon. if you have 4 sparks im sure you can handle playing for few more hours. Pff
If you have four sparks, why should you arbitrarily have to do the easiest and most boring content in the game to get your uber unique?
Again, not the end of the world, but the idea that you should be required to do whispers… to get your uber is kinda silly.
All of the content creators are complaining about gold costs, and never asked for gold to be the most scares resource in the game. Your argument is not based in any form of truth…
Gold is insane to get, masterworking and enchatning is way to expensive. Full inventory of legendary is like 2 milions. Its getting old.
Does really blizard wants me to run normal dungeons for whisper with char who killed tormented bosses?
