wrong. they would like to remove those features but they CAN'T remove many of them.

you are correct that there are some features which they have implemented, but the only one that i can really think of off the top of my head is the tell queue when zoning. clearly a non classic feature, but they implemented on p99 after the server had been up for some time.

p.s. i don't see why you have to resort to name calling. if thats your bag, just start the thread in R and F next time.

although I am not actually sure if they can or can't remove some things, i would imagine they can change run speed and the purple text on items... maybe not i dunno, but if they can and have not then it is dumb for them to change some other thing

I use the purple text example because it is similar to the improved spell interface. It makes typing/clicking/tedious things that really don't improve the gaming experience just go away. I don't wanna type out all the stuff on an item I have to sell, nor do I want to read it. The spellsets and spell list function similarly. Why waste time flipping through pages or dragging and dropping.

I remember the biggest improvement from Diablo 1 to Diablo 2 was instituting a function where you could hold down the mouse button to continuously attack. It eliminated button mashing, something that was pointlessly annoying. Eliminating spellsets would be pointlessly annoying. These small changes improve the gameplay experience significantly. We could also bring back staring at your spell book to med (although not sure when this was originally changed).

I think that adhering strictly to a robot-like "must remain classic, mind inflexible cannot compute" attitude is detrimental. Although Sony screwed up many things later on, spellsets/list dropdowns weren't one of them. I see the spellsets/lists exactly like purple item text linking... saves time, saves spam/button mashing, and makes things smoother.
