EVERYTHING else is the SAME... aside from one of act 5's boss battles (the one that levels you up more than once.) Either way, that battle only comes up 3 times (if you're good enough to even reach hell mode.) And at higher levels, like I said, doesn't level you up more than 2 or even level you up at all. And those godly sets, are far from godly. I believe blizzard put it as a little challenge to higher level players (70+ levels). Even then, those sets are IMPOSSIBLE to find, let alone trade for. Gaining levels just for the set, is well, from my own experience isn't a 5 day job. Like I said before... leveling up is exactly the same as it was in normal D2. if anyone can get to level 70 legit in 5 days...well...damn...you can't. If that was the case, most everyone on closed b.net will be well over level 70...
Your conclusion about the xpac is extremely biased and is based on a few hours of play. If people were to judge EV the same way... damn...I bet people will complain that landing is too hard, or that some ships are too strong/fast... right?
PEACE YO!™
Who says it only comes up once? My friend does it over and over again... he gets 8 people together in Act 5, they go clear out the ancients, and then do it again! That's the lamest way to level I've ever heard of!
Furthermore, I looked at every single new item placed in the game. (info found at
http://diabloii.calcon.net/index.shtml). These new items, no matter HOW hard they are to find, totally unbalance the game. Even the new set of exceptional exceptional weapons (elite) is a really bad idea. It was just fine at exceptional.... rare exceptional swords could do around 200-500 damage, and that's more than anyone could ever need... now NORMAL elite items almost do that much!
I think the game was made too easy... I don't need to play it for months to figure that out. And my point is still valid, leveling up is far too easy in the expansion. Remember back with normal D2 when you had to work for your levels? That was fun. This "5 levels in one kill" expansion crap isn't fun or even challenging.
