Everyone can play sacred in the way he wants,there is HD mod for Vanilla Sacred,or NL mod which improve the quality of the game ,or the Reborn Mod which change the "META" off the game,the reason I play Reborn ,it's for his ballance changes,more easy to get your char level 216 and many other reasons,I wont spend 50 hours on cave's just to get a char from 140 to 216,of course, for people who likes to play vanilla but with better monsters and better experience drop,they can try Veteran mod,the mod I've played before Reborn got released,this is my opinion
