Not really dumb, just obstinate and a victim to tunnel vision and herd mentality. If he can't experiment, think outside of the box, and use the resources available to him as efficiently as possible, then that's his problem.
No one has proof of the amount of illegitimate gold out there so it's just conjecture, but like I said, that case is exceptional. You're the one that commented on overall, the prices on the market for items used in popular builds are going up.
Hmm. Anyone know the easiest way to setup a stream on OSX?

Stash upgrades should have cost more. At least the last tab. Like, a lot more.
Maybe you don't understand, but the AH isn't a gold sink. Gold isn't being removed from the economy there, it's just trading hands from player to player. Yes, there is the 15% off the top of transactions, but that's paltry in comparison to the amount generated.
Actual gold sinks have gold from players going to NPCs in some way (be it repairs, crafting - you can spend money and get a worthless item, stash upgrades, etc.) where it's essentially deleted from the game.
So would you say these guys are "hey now!" or "ehhh"?
Dex is kinda low, but an Arcane Resist stacking monk would be all over those. Near max roll on the All Resist. The armor and life regen are just cherries on top (and thorns isn't nearly as bad for melee as it is for ranged, though it's still pretty bad.)
Man if they really nerf Crit chance and Damage then my Wiz is fucked. And all the gear I bought for her will all be in vain..
I'll probably leave the game all together if they do that. I'm just too far in the game to start out a new build and frankly, I'm too exhausted playing this game. My patience with the game is really short now and I don't think I can handle one more negative change..
I really hope PvP comes out soon, I haven't beat Diablo yet but I'm already starting to feel like there is nothing to do now but farm. Games boring now :/

Thousands of bots making millions per day, multiplied by the amount of days...
I'd say the number is in the hundreds of billions range (and climbing, because there are no effective sinks)
Prices going up isn't a good thing when those items are being taken out of circulation and then sold to people on the RMAH (or outside of that infrastructure). It's good for the people selling, but it really sucks for anyone not willing or able to buy. Obviously some people win (like the guy here that sold the 250m spear) but most people lose and then complain about how they can't afford any of the gear they need to progress (which isn't entirely true, but don't get me started on that).
How's PvP actually going to work? If it's reduced by armour, resists etc as in PvE then even high crit builds aren't really going to hit much.

I remember in OT3, someone saw an amulet sold for 750 million. 750 fucking million. Don't tell me there aren't enough illegitimate gold flowing out there.

I'm actually getting tired of farming act 1 and 2, maybe I should throw my gold at working on act 3 again.........
And good thing I'm going to Europe in a week where I won't be able to play for 3 weeks

Looks like I'm on a mandatory break from the game. Ghom is bugged:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5884288473
I have 1000 resist all, 8k armor, 48k health. I die fast, even if I'm in archon mode. Whole place fills with gas, so you don't even have a place to teleport to.

Wow sounds like a nightmare, man I could have beaten Act 3 before the patch but nooo
I just had to take a vacation instead >_<
Now I have to deal with this Ghom BS *sigh*
It's a big number yes, but how well dispersed is that illegitimate money on the average population? Unless we believe that a lot players are spending their real money on buying gold, or are savvy enough to risk and operate botting on a large scale, I still don't believe that their effects are as great as many people claim.
It only takes 5 transactions to reduce 1 million to less than half (~0.44mil) it's original amount with 15% cut. I'm not sure what your measure of gold sink is, but to me that's very significant.
It's not actually bugged, ghom just spawns two clouds of gas at once now and they take ages to disappear, but how much of the arena is covered is minimised by moving around less.
His enrage mode is even worse as it fills every spot instantly.
2 of us beat him thanks to eek on his barb on the day of the patch, it's just a matter of being able to stand still and deal enough damage.
Ghom isn't bugged, just killed him with at least half the room still up. You guys complain way too much.
I love how the thread is closed with the blizz employee basically going "nah aw, we do test before we release".
That's bullshit. If they do, they suck at it. If you can create elite AI, they should be able to deploy it with characters and run thousands of runs on bosses and create statistics. They clear did not do this because I think the only way you can beat ghom is if you have super high dps. Like 80+k. I'm able to get him to 60% hp solo with archon and 32k dps. My dps is low for the resist all/armor, so not sure how to proceed.

When you move force stand still to space what is rhe best bind for close all open windows?
It won't let me use shift.
In fact I get trolled with sticky keys pressing it multiple times to bind.

I guess mouse down is.
Its rough getting my EHP up at this stage, every upgrade is expensive and Im trying to make it to 1m EHP to start Act 3. Getting painful though.
That's with my enchantress, Warcry+Impunity and all 3 defensive passives. I'm at about 800k EHP without dodge (Without using threatening shout). I use my lowest resist to calculate my EHP in the calculator since my Physical resist is a bit higher than my all resist is atm. My EHP is 972k with dodge, but I dont think I should go by that. I dont like dodge very much, its not reliable.
Does anyone know why dodge is factored in EHP but not block? I'm still going to get a justice lantern and eventually a well itemized ivory tower. That's another 11% block chance, and another 1k+ damage blocked per block. Its tough to balance stuff like EHP, with a respectable amount of LOH, along with respectable Block mitigation. Not to mention DPS. I am severely struggling with dps while trying to maintain good EHP,LOH and Block%. And now Im broke, sucks so bad, but at least its fun feeling a reasonable gear progression scale.

These worth anything for the sockets and vitality and high armour?
500-800k probably

The biggest reason is because EHP is calculated just using a simple life/DR equation. Dodge is easy to calculate because you just fudge it and say it's 10% higher if you dodge 10% of the time. Block is a little more complicated because the amount of DR you get depends on your block amount AND the incoming damage. Instead of having a percentage reduction like most defenses, it's a flat reduction on successful block so if the damage coming in is 3k, for example, and your block range is 3-4k, a block would mitigate that damage 100% but if the incoming damage was 20k after DR then you're taking 16.5k damage. It's just too complicated to figure out EHP without knowing how much damage is coming in. Block will definitely raise your survivability and it is something to consider but you should be aiming for 1 mil without factoring it in.
Thanks. Not everyone can bend over Ghom like you dude LOL. If I somehow get 500K for those pants I'll give you 50K for helping yesterday.

Doing a run right now and I found some blue gloves with 84 strength and 20% MF
Is that worth money or should I scrap it?

So my last "good" weapon had nice bonuses with crap DPS. I think I just got screwed with a weapon with the exact opposite problem:

Anyone interested in Inferno whismyshire runs with us? We both have 220 or so native MF. DH and Wiz.
Me and two other GAFers did it post patch. The barb tanked the boss, monk was on adds, and I was DPS on the boss, and we did pretty good.

Probably sell it for at least some small gold on AH (nothing over 50k for SURE I'd think though but not an expert). I might take them off you I wouldn't mind if they're cheap enough. Anyone know max on gloves?
easy 180k on AH
Perfect MF is always worth money.

That's worth money. A quick test search of the AH using 20% magic find brings up a decent price. 20% is pretty high.

So the most valuable thing I've found in 2 days is a magic item with 2 stats

Most of the sellable stuff I get is 18-20% MF, 20-25% GF gear lol

Livestreaming some Act II farming with my Monk. New to this whole streaming thing, so it's really just a test stream. Planning on saving up to buy a 6 prop blacksmith recipe. Will be making them at cost for my fellow GAF'ers of course

I'm reading through all of these posts where Gaffers say "If Blizz did X, then I'll leave this game." The underlying current of dissatisfaction is great with Diablo 3.
Well, I left this game as of yesterday. Simply put, it's just not fun. I farmed for 5 hours yesterday and all I got was a bit of gold. Which I can't use to buy anything, since the prices on the AH are so over-inflated.
Patch 1.03 wasn't the holy grail I thought it'd be. My Witch Doctor remains the red-headed stepchild of the bunch. All of my friends have stopped playing or rarely come on now.
Running into some of the Elites/Champions with those impossible prefixes only causes frustration. I want to relax and enjoy my hobby, not be utterly infuriated by it. Hell, if I could say I lacked skill, and hence was dying, I'd graciously accept that. However, that is not what is happening with this game.
This game just feels like Blizz has no idea what they want to do with it. Or they're stuck in a design philosophy from 12 years ago. Either way, I ain't having it any more. I'll still pay attention to the blue posts and any future patches and possibly come back, but since I've quite Diablo 3 I've beaten one game on Hard (Warhammer 40k: Space Marine) and am happily progressing in another game on its hardest difficulty setting (The Darkness 2). And you know what? I'm having fun.

Its the desperation of covering costs for repair and the one day of hoping to have enough to afford gear for inferno. Its the sign of the times..

Is it worth bothering to craft 5 prop gloves?

Yea, but now its worthless isn't it? I would think after the patch it would be gone. All the GF gear i see on the AH sells for pennies. And if it's for botting, then it's not like you need GF gear with actual stats.
It's my Sarkoth farming set. On good drops, I get up to 10k per run.
Though, we'll see if he's still such a bro after tomorrow's patch, cause the notes mention:
I think Sarkoth is still viable. A friend of mine is still botting there.
