I'm not sure about other classes but you cannot contest 40+ without specific builds that are based on specific item sets with specific rolls on certain stats (for wizards), esp on hc. I doubt it differs by much though. thousands of blood shards makes it ridiculously easy to attain that gear. | ||

Idk, the best thing you get from normal rifts are greater rift keys, so there's almost no kind of rift I'd not close. They're not that different after the density change too. The only kind of rifts I tend to finish are pandemonium just because of how many white materials those give, but I don't get too upset if someone else closes that too. | ||

just saying that rolling back a day or so would be the easiest, fairest way to deal with this even though people (including me) may be mad. | ||

Bounties and rifts on torment one until I get the gear to ramp the difficulty up? yea youll make the transition from rares to random legs, to a couple set pieces. Hopefully between doing bounties and highest rifts possible you'll find a RoRG, which will allow you to obtain set bonuses faster. RoRG is a leg ring found in act 1 bounty caches which bring the number of set pieces needed to obtain set bonuses down by 1. | ||

It had some merit like a year ago, but after grifts got introduced and the drop of rift price from 5 keys to 1 it seems utterly pointless. Yet in every single game there's someone who's "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CLOSE, YOU MOTHERFUCKER". They're not only upset, they're damn serious about this thing too. What's the catch? I can't think of a good reason. Even if it's a "good" rift with lots of pack, I usually don't bother clearing after the rift boss. I wouldn't regard them lol | ||

Bounties and rifts on torment one until I get the gear to ramp the difficulty up? Get a greater rift key by any means, skip the trials (TP as soon as you get inside) and start killing rift guardians every 15 minutes to only advance 1 rift level at a time. Once you clear a grift, TP the very moment the guardian starts to appear and do bounties for as long as 2 minutes remain (remember the time you started the grift, add 15 minutes to see when it ends). Don't use TP in bounties, only use the map to travel, keep that portal to the guardian up. This way you'll quickly get all the gems and get many legendaries too. Use shards to gamble your set of choice. Keep in mind that you can only salvage the gear you find while a grift is open, but not drop on the ground (so don't run bounties with full inventory in case a legendary drops there). You also can't run bosses while in a greater rift and that includes Greed from the goblin portal, so wait on that one. | ||

I never got the leaderboards anyway considering the giant RNG fest that drops are. There isnt a reward for top X is there? So why would they roll back? There is no economy to destroy. | ||

THE ULTIMATE RIP. I think it would be enough to only restrict an account from participating in a season. But a permaban might be ok too. | ||

Thats slightly different from banning people who are streaming themselves while they are exploiting. Good to see Blizzard take action tho. | ||

Makes me wonder if they ARE going to take further action though. They haven't done much in the past seasons with regards to exploits. | ||

I'm not sure streaming spreads the word any quicker than Reddit/forums/etc? Maybe. Makes me wonder if they ARE going to take further action though. They haven't done much in the past seasons with regards to exploits. Earlier this year Reckful (a popular WoW streamer) got banned for streaming Arena boosts despite them happening all the time anyway. They really don't like you streaming stuff that isn't allowed :p | ||
