Whereas in the past you just grinded for your gear and no one could have truly perfect gear, now you can get pulled into the addictive world of micro pay gambling with real world currency to try and get perfect gear. When I played Diablo, you couldn't ever get perfect gear. Just some really bad ass stuff. With the way the world is now, many gamers want that clout for having ultra perfect gear and 101% completion type of insanity.
To an extent, this is how the Diablo auction house should have been... yet shouldn't have been as well. Blizz is kinda a dick on this one, but they a corp... but I'd also argue that a huge aspect of this is the gaming community as a whole as well. I never attempted to 100% games prior to something like 2010-2015 unless I truly loved and enjoyed a game. Now it's like an OCD itch that some people have to platinum games and do a pissing contest dick measuring contest type of thing. I've probably "100%'d" games less than 5 times in my life and a few of those I think were just stupidly easy to platinum with less than 10 hours of playing a game. I have plenty of games less than 10% that I've poured like 20+ hours on. I probably have a crap ton of games I've poured 50+ hours on that are more than half "completed". So many games you can beat the whole story arc and you're less than 20% "completion".
Easter eggs used to be Easter eggs and fun. Now it's like that video of the mom dragging her child across the field to get an advantage to attack and get as many eggs vs other families as possible. That's not fun.
