^perfectly reasonable thing to do.

I like the game, though it does have a lot of flaws.

I don't think it's perfectly reasonable to spend hundreds of hours and then return it for the full price because you "didn't really like it". I have no idea how someone would spend 100+ hours in less than 2 weeks doing something they hate out of their own free will. It's one thing to be dissapointed the game is not everything you hoped for, that it didn't give you 10 years of uther joy or whatever you expected, or returning something you used for a little while and realized it's not something you want, but getting like $0.50 per hour of entertainment is not bad, it's worth the money. Do people really play for 80 hours, hate the game, but believe it will magically change in the next 20 hours?

*talking about in case the OP would ask for a refund, not asking one in the first 100 hours after launch like in the case quoted, but I still don't think you could have hated playing that much and still get lvl 60 in under 100 hours realtime. I think asking for a full refund for anything you have over 20 hours of playtime doesn't make a lot of sense.

here's how I solved all my problems with d3:
+ Show Spoiler +

Seriously, paying at around 50euro, I have had 100+hours of entertainment, the game is GREAT, solely based on that fact.

The 100 hours were fun, especially my first run through normal, but I felt end-game content was lacking. Once i got to 60, it was like 'now what,' whereas in D2 hitting 99 was pretty difficult. I liked collecting and bartering items from D2 so I had high hopes for AH, which was what kept me playing, but when I realized how inefficient and broken the AH was, I threw the towel in. Didn't help that a bunch of my friends' accounts got hacked.

no, the op's point was that droprates are somehow changed by or because of ah
basically he's complaining about something that doesn't actually exist lol

your drop rates aren't influenced by anything other than ingame mf and rng
droprates are "manipulated" by the ah in the sense that they are lower across the board, but they're still completely random
this is because ah makes it much easier to trade items

for example, imagine in d2 a certain mob drops an uncommon 50% of the time a rare 5% of the time and a legendary .5% of the time
now in d3 the same mob will drop an uncommon 5% of the time a rare .5% of the time and a legendary .05% of the time

I'm not denying that, I can easily see people not liking the endgame or feeling it get's old fast, but are the 100 hours (which I guess mean at least something like 30 hours gametime) of fun time really not worth $60? Are they really closer to $0 which is what you end up paying with the full refund? That's why I don't agree that it's perfectly reasonable to ask for a full refund in such situation, they should be avaible for people that didn't actually use the product.

People are way too harsh on gaming prices sometimes, it's the same with the whole pay to watch VoD's/Streams. $15 for a 2 hours movie is fine, but 60$ for 30+ hours of fun isn't? And it could easily pass 100 hours, do you really feel you would never feel like playing the game again?

For me, voting with you wallet ussually means not buying things you don't like or don't agree with, not using them, having fun, and then getting a full refund because you got tired of it, even if you believed you would get 500+ hours of entertainment instead of "only" around 30-40.
