why is diablo 2 gameplay so low quality on youtube?

All kinds of different units were used to price out items - SoJs, Pskulls, runes, PGems, there are pages and pages of forum posts intricately detailing the market rate of various items because gold had no value.

The need to store gear was exacerbated by the lack of a common currency (see point 3). In later levels you'd also lose 20% of whatever Paragon level you were grinding. This meant gold was completely unreliable as a method of storing wealth, so it became a completely worthless resource except for repair bills which were admittedly paltry. Any gold you picked up since being in town was 100% gone unless you could get to your body again. Imagine in Diablo 3 every time you died you lost 20% of all of your gold. If you wanted to transfer something you had to either get a friend or do a very risky game transfer - Create a game, drop the item on the ground, then rejoin it with the character in question and pray it's still up and you don't get disconnected. Obviously this meant no shared stash between characters. You would literally need a specific naming convention of each mule to remember what was in each stash. Yes, multiple character could have their own stash and you could make unlimited characters, but that meant you needed tons of characters that were just mules for carrying gear. You had a stash but it was HALF the size of ONE page of our current stash. I still really liked Diablo 2, but I want to remind people it had some seriously stupid stuff in it you may have forgot. For those of you that played it I'm sure you remember all this bullshit, and those of you that didn't will probably gawk in amazement at what we put up with. Diablo 2 is a really old game, and I think some people wax nostalgic through some very rosy glasses. I wanted to post this before 1.04 came out, so I hope it's still timely.
