dunno, i played them and finished them but that was more "need to finish it" then "i love this game so fucking much im gonna re-install it 9 times after i complete it this time."

and you know other devs are going to take that "scroll of wealth" idea and soon enough its in all games.

I haven't researched this since it's, well, Diablo, but can someone please explain to me the fundamental difference between a Scroll of Wealth and a Scroll of Town Portal and why I would ever take the former with me over the latter?

ok, cool. good for you. if diablo is the great and terrible evil that opened the floodgates of :decline: that sullied the fertile ground of crpgs, how is it that 10 of the 13 games in your signature (I'm assuming these are your favourite rpgs) were made after it?

Not to cut in, but I assume his point is the same one that I have. That games like Diablo are trend setters that influence many games that come out after it. If the trend setter happens to be bad or "dumbs down" the genre, then it's not a good thing. Personally, I've never played Diablo, but I've played games inspired by it. Some are good and others were bad, regardless they all seem to be heavily influenced by it.

The first Dungeon Siege game and Sacred 2 both have the ability to convert items to gold. I don't recall every RPG having the town portal ability, so you had to decide what items are worth holding on to until the next town or merchant. The only use for gold in Diablo 2 is for equipment repairs, gambling on circlets or coronets, and resurrecting your mercenary if you decide it's worth the effort.

Oh, no, I won't have to tediously return to town in an action RPG. Action RPG gameplay clearly ruined.
