TL;DR: I would return this instant for a server with much higher drop rates overall for extremely rare stuff that would allow me to push endgame content.
I love MedianXL. I try very hard to convert D2:R players into this and often succeed to do so. I've been a Median player since about 2008-9. Seen it all. Loved almost all of it. But just like I've written in the "What would bring you back to MXL?", the grind is way, waaaaaaay, waaaaa(x1m)y too much for me.
My post there for context: https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=82591&start=43
So giving this some thought, I figured there would be many dad boomers like me here in this lovely community. Got a job, wife, kid, side hustles and all that which leaves little to no time for actual gaming. But we're also hardcore gamers at heart - at least I am. I still played lots of the grind. Never made it past Scosglen but still, had my fun with the grind while I could.
But then again, it's too much.
Which brings me to a point where I would most definitely play a whole lot more, if I didn't have to commit a thousand hours into finding a shard that would only improve my gear by 30% chance, otherwise breaking it. So the point is,
Would the team be willing to think about a lite server here? With much higher drop rates for no-timers like me?
Upvote if you are like me so that they see the numbers.
P.S. I would be fine if it was only single player really...
