I have been curious about POTD... but the more I hear about it the less I want to do it...

It sounds more like you guys are trying to play an Arcade game rather than an RPG.

While Diablo 2 was fun for a bit, it never was my thing...

And if that's what POTD is about I'm not sure I really want to join in.

Honestly the current dungeon runs in the normal mode are kinda that way. Not much time to enjoy the actual dungeon crawl.
