As Diablo 4 progresses season by season, players continue to point out and ask for simple yet impactful quality-of-life changes. One recent topic involves a change that makes gear easier to understand and compare at a glance.
What’s the Problem?
Ever since Greater Affixes were added back in Season 4, players have been voicing their complaints about how difficult it can be to easily compare gear without squinting at paragraphs of text. Not only does this detract from playing, but with Greater Affixes becoming more common as you delve into Higher World Tiers, trying to gauge what gear is better at a glance can become more difficult for some.
So what’s the Problem? Currently, when an item with a Greater Affix drops, it has a single star next to its name, showcasing that it has been naturally upgraded. However, if any gear drops with two or more Greater Affixes on it, there is no updated visual to indicate this.
Reddit user NoRulez112 posted about the issue and called for a straightforward improvement.
i hope someday technology will advance enough for this

What’s the Solution?
Several comments inside the Reddit thread have pointed out an easy fix: simply add extra stars or some visual that lets the player know the difference between an item having one Greater Affix or several after it drops. This minor fix may not impact the casual player base, but for those who consistently push into the extreme late game of every Diablo 4 season, this minor fix would save a lot of trouble and headaches while farming for your ideal gear upgrades.
It remains unclear if Blizzard will ever implement this change before or even after Season 9, since there are several small quality of life adjustments players have been asking for that about only half or less have been answered.
