And now it just means that the game is a grindy loot based game in which you'll get 20 versions of the same item with names like "Berzerking Axe of Freeze" that only vary by something inconsequential like "+8% poison resistance" or "-2% fall damage"

Each character has five arbitrarily placed equipment slots.

The equipment goes white-green-purple-orange.

Who even enjoys this shit. It just bogs down these AAA games even more. It's not like you can even feel like you customize a character. It's just "Do I pick this skill to use now or later"

I think skill trees are cool when done well. One of my favorite RPG elements that could be implemented in a non-RPG game. It's fun to look forward to some bad ass move or ability. But shit like this:

I'd take RPG elements over a crafting system.

a lot of AAA games are basically caveman brain stimulators that just boil down to "number go up"

I mean, I would say that I'd still love to see RPG elements in other genres. I just don't think that Diablo is an RPG and that's where I would attribute randomized loot.

Now of days RPGs are just action games masquerading as RPGs because they have some skill advancement system or gear system in place.
