„Casual” Diablo 4 player grieves about game and complains about loot. Community: „3-4 hours a night is very much not casual”

Burnout is once again becoming a concern in the Diablo fan community. In addition to not feeling sufficiently engaged with the current version of the fourth installment (mainly due to the lack of new, engaging content), fans are now also complaining about the infrequency of rare loot appearing as a reward for their efforts.

Many of them feel that the chance of getting the desired item is not worth the amount of time spent grinding (3-4 hours a day, which is considered excessive by many casual players).

Where should Blizzard set the line and when does casual stop being casual?

What do the other fans think about this? Despite the general dissatisfaction with the current state of Diablo 4, they demonstrated considerable reasoning and a large dose of tact, arguing that balancing the game for such a diverse player environment (as well as their varying abilities and the amount of time they can devote to the game daily) is simply very difficult:

Some people are saying that the author of the post doesn't fit the casual standards, as these players don't care as much about obtaining ultra-rare items and upgrades. Instead, they focus only on having fun. The frustrated player seems to be stuck in a limbo between casual and hardcore gaming, unable to commit due to a lack of time.

At some point, he will probably have to compromise and come to terms with the fact that some things simply cannot be overcome - or move on to other, less time-consuming games. On the other hand, the loot drop rate in D4 seems to be really unbalanced. A good example is the case of a certain player a few months ago, who got two purple items in less than 24 hours, which, of course, caused envy in the community.
