I still find certain areas are still as painful as ever (the fact I have to farm Fauztinville for high-end runes causes me to cry my soul out of my body), but I totally agree. Although to be fair the mod's been heading perpetually in that direction since it's inception. As someone who played it far back in it's initial beta phases, I can tell you it's a MUCH different beast than it used to be. Once upon a time there were no unique items, most buff skills only lasted two or three seconds, all skills were shared and were grossly underpowered compared to your enemies, and it was utterly impossible to play the game without having to go back to earlier acts and farm gold since you'd run up such catastrophically high repair bills. In short, Median once over only appealed to a few select hardcore gamers. Now it's designed primarily as a popularity mod. It even has a dupe recipe. I'll have to see if I can scavange some of the REALLY old versions of Median from my archives, the one's that Laz gets really pissy about whenever I mention to him I still have them.
