I don't think a leaderboard wipe is necessary but an issue is people who haven't exploited but have indirectly benefited from someone else exploiting, such as 3 people in a 4 man group using the exploit and the 4th person benefits even though they aren't. All players who have used or are using it should have their characters deleted, paragon and stash reset and their leaderboard times wiped. Anyone who had a time on a leaderboard in a group with someone who exploited should have that time wiped as well. People who've exploited it and also exploited in a previous season should be straight up banned.
I don't mind cave maps themselves and some classes prefer tight spaces than others but the density in them tends to be horrific in comparison to other maps. The density in general this season is really poor. I had a few attempts at GR61 on my WD and failed it about 4 times in a row. Tried again this morning and did it first go in 11:10. That's at least 5 minutes difference purely because the density was better which is just too much. I'm fine up to about GR65 I'd say but the amount of fishing that is going to require will be mind numbing.
Elite monsters aren't worth killing at high GRs unless their monster base-type is something with low health, but I find this is the case with anything whether it be Champions or trash monsters if there isn't at least 10 monsters around it to kill together.
Stash space has always been low but I'm finding I can just about cope with 2 classes this season when being ruthless with the items I'm getting. One stash tab is enough space for 2 rows of 2x1 legendary items leaving 3 rows of 2x1 which is enough room for 1 piece of every set item for that class. So I have one tab for Witch Doctor, one for Monk, one for items I need to cube, one for gems/crafting stuff and the last one is a miscellany of items.
Well the normal elites I can often kill with the trash packs, but not the champion ones so much, especially when I was trying GR65.
Oh yeah, I really wish they would sort out the mob types too, I mean in general. I really hate mobs who try to run away, or sit there firing stuff at you. OK makes sense with like the undead archers or whatever, but the wasps/bees are incredibly annoying, same with the caster ones who split up and try to keep distance on you, especially when they are elite types.
A lot of this is problems with the original game I think, the campaign mode is kind of weak, acts 1 and 3 aren't bad, but the others not so great, and they completely made it redundant when they made adventure mode too. The core of the game is good, your basic hack and slash action which works well.
I remember playing a lot of Diablo 2, that had some annoying stuff too (act 2 on that was awful
) but on the whole had a darker/more gritty feel to it. I'd like to see some awesome stuff when they get around to doing the next expansion.
Saying all of this, the game is improving in general from release all the time. Just for me personally I can only play it for so long before I put it down again until they make more changes/improvements and I pick it back up again. Last I played was around season 1, I completely skipped seasons 2 and 3.
