For as many people I run into who make a killing selling virtual items, you'd think I'd run into at least some who are buying. Either they stay shut up about it or they just exist in circles that are far, far away from me. | ||

Rofl, whoever came up with that plan is a genius. I considered making some macros for neopets, doing dailies and games, but never got around to it. I didn't think I'd be able to. | ||

Thats because it is, Diablo 2 is an economy game, If you somehow manage to game the system and cash out with a ton of RL or ingame loot, you are a baller. The whole point of D2 online is just to accumulate as much value as possible. If you want to just play the standard game you can do single player, or lan, or just play standard online (there are basically 2 economies, the rich mass running and botting economy, and the regular players poor economy, these only cross in the occasional free game.) Its not like an FPS where using exploits and cheating just ruins everyones experience. In D2, ripping people off, exploiting glitches, and cheating, IS the game. | ||

Either they stay shut up about it or they just exist in circles that are far, far away from me. The days of making cash off of D2 are largely over, there are so many established bots that anyone with 10 decent computers can open up a shop, the market is saturated, and nobody is spending 100's of dollars on rare items for a 10 year old game. You will never make money off of something anyone and everyone could/is doing. You gotta get in at the stage where it takes real ingenuity to program your own bots and hacks. | ||

Skipping the story; Botruns; Duped runes etc etc, spoiling it all. So no more d2 for me, the game is dead. Just as Blizzard wanted it to, like what will happen to sc1. I will only play D2 during the summer on LAN just for fun, and not skipping any parts. | ||

As far as I know it's impossible to get that high within a few hours anymore. They removed ubers levelling which was the prime way to get to 85+ in around two hours. Oh, and enigma is not that big of a deal.. maybe on ladder near the beginning of the season but definitely not non-ladder (I have 4 mules filled with enigmas only on NL) Starting a fresh ladder season is the best way to make money, as high runes go for absurd prices, along with virtually any other good/godly item found that early. | ||

I know I will get flamed for this, but I think HC is only fun with a chicken =[ without chicken it's just way too stressful and I am still too young to maintain such high blood pressure. | ||

It was fun until I got to level 9 and started to find every single player (except myself) suspicious.

Then i stopped playing and didn't park my chicken so only 2 chicken now haha i'll let those die too. D2 is dead. THere's few pockets of worthwhile experience, but you have to find them. Friends and I tried to play online hardcore, one of my friend went into the "open", let's call it. He got to lvl 80 within a day, died, then repeated 4 times, killed the uber trist, and stopped playing. And that was the end of our adventure. so sad | ||

The problem right now is that I can't find a chicken that works for 1.13c. Like I said, I am not going to maintain a high blood pressure for this. Maybe I should just play softcore. I donno. Just by myself... | ||
