Dear OP...mods are necessary... otherwise it would be like a boring, stale, lame game like world of warcraft.
Are you saying that you would prefer a 50/50 coin flip for identical max leveled toons?
Have you ever punched yourself in the face for fun?
Because asking for mods to be removed is like punching yourself in the face to see if you can knock yourself out. So go ahead knock yourself out with this idea.
Btw...do you remember the poe meta?
If you dont then research it...your questions about details will be answered. Because poe meta is what set mods in motion, with protection as a quick fix to buy time for the implementation of mods...
