Don't use the AH if you dont like it. It's not a drug. D3 allows you to play the game any way you like to. And it's largely a solo experience anyways, so you're getting left behind whom exactly? Hardcore neatly solves most of the current problems with D3. And it's a hallmark Blizzard product, so you know they'll be improving it over the coming few months. Too many whiners reflecting back on D2 with rose-colored glasses... | ||

Every day millions of players "work" on raising that bar even further. It boggles my mind how Blizzard could not see this coming. | ||

The way I see it, every single gold I make, whether from a level 1 monster or what, adds up to a new weapon, or to real dollars in the future. It's a win/win in my book. | ||

OT: I didnt like the article. I tought it was really pretentious with all the "Marxonian economics" stuff and while pretending to have substance, it actually didnt. Just a simple tought dragged out over a wall of text hoping that way it would sound more convincing and a made up punchline that i felt the autor really just tagged at the end for the sake of giving the article some artificial meaning in fear it would end up being just a well tought out whine post. The punchline is " dont use the AH if you want to enjoy the game". Its weak and far too stretched. I do however believe there is some, if not all, truth in there. However I wouldnt overanalyze anything about this game as I dont see the point. No need to break our heads with this one; its a bad game, as simple as that. I read most of it. In D2, I always used d2jsp to get any item I needed, I didn't only MF for it or ask in-game for it. The AH brought jsp to the masses (well, then put the RMAH on top of it). I sincerely think the AH is GOOD for the game, it would have been amazing to have a AH in D2. It's the actual GAME that is shit, combined with the lack of a social atmosphere. | ||

Too many whiners reflecting back on D2 with rose-colored glasses... Why would anyone play HC on those horrific servers? I can't even play a pub game without hitting a lag spike every 10 minutes. Anyway, Blizzard done fucked up by making the game about gold rather than loot. It shifted the focus away from what you can find to what you can buy. It's boring. | ||

If you farm for the next 80 years you might be able to beat it before you die. Hopefully they can prevent aging by then so I can beat Act 4 without using the RMAH in hardcore mode | ||

1. "Mid-tier" items are getting more and more worthless every day. I used to be excited about finding gloves with 160 dex, 80 vit, 52 lightning res and 65 AR. Now that is a dirt cheap item that i would probably have trouble selling at any price. With items never leaving the economy, items that were worth millions a short month ago are now worth 100k. What this means is that my pleasure gets less and less as I play, because I find fewer and fewer items that are even worth selling on the AH. 2. Legendaries are crap. In D2, seeing that color pop up.... ahhh so many good memories. There were just so many interesting legendary items, and many of them were very, very OP. In D3, the only things that even raise my pulse a tiny bit any more are legendary rings and occasionally a helm or shield. See a brown weapon? I don't even want to pick it up. That is 100% wrong right there. 3. Crafting is pure crap and retardedly expensive. I have hundreds of essence saved up, but will in all likelihood just end up selling it......because crafting is just a pointless exercise in randomness. This means high level items are even more crap much of the time, because the essence isn't even that useful. 4. Gems......DO NOTHING. Well, not nothing, but high level gems do not even come close to justifying the cost of making them, and since they can't drop.....you never get excited about finding one. Oh yay, another flawless square, another 800 of them, and I can finish my perfect star or w/e. Stupid, stupid design. It literally takes 15 minutes to even make a perfect star from scratch, and it's just clicking a button a hundred times or so. Don't get me wrong, i enjoy the game, possibly because i don't have enough time to play hours at a time, and stuff like having an andys with 125 dex drop for me as a monk literally made my week. And I still find good AH deals, and the occasional item from actually playing. I recently got a couple mf items and started playing the swap game, and that has given me a decent increase in ok items, but 99% are still crap, and I can do multiple act 1 runs without finding a single item worth over 100k gold. | ||
