Limiting exploits

[Yggdrasil]

Sure ! I guess D2 devs wanted to prevent exploits in the ladder (and haven't enough imagination for finding a more elegant way than putting a hard limit cap).
But there's no ladder in TQ and GD, they're not competitive games. So if I want to build a 100% dodge character, does this bother anyone? I mean, nobody is forced to do the same. If you think it's not fun or cheating (and I totally respect that), you can limit yourself with more classical builds, I won't blame you.

(But in TQ, believe me, the long tortuous way for building a 100% dodge character from scratch was a real challenge, and when you finally reach your goal it was like a big satisfactory achievement.)

So really, I don't think putting max caps is a good idea. It limits the number of viable builds with the most frustrating way.

That's a better way to prevent the exploits. It's less frustrating for the player. But again, is preventing exploits really absolutely necessary ? Wouldn't it be more intelligent to just make the exploits more difficult to perform ? If a player spend several hundred hours to collect rare equipement in order to have a 100% chance of something, shouldn't he have the right to play with his character the way he wants ?
