yo im totally invited to this one right
My experience was that by the time I'd gotten to end game and gone through a few loot runs I'd have already completed a couple sets (not necessarily good sets) and gotten gobs of rares. D3 after 100 hours I might as well just forget the idea of completing a set without using either AH. I don't really need the best rares from D3, I'd really just like an opportunity to see/collect Legendary/Set items like I did in D2 but because they adjusted drop rates with the AH in mind it makes the feasibility of doing that myself nigh impossible.

good lord, it's like one of those shitty ticket vendor arcades. Spend a fortune and end up with tat.
you can't use any of this gear kid, get good.
I didn't finish any sets in D2 until loot runs and those were at 400-500% MF. Comparing that to D3 is a bit unfair.
And they've said they didn't balance drops around the AH since they tested it without the AH implemented. I suppose it's a he said/she said/"Don't believe their lies" scenario but, honestly, the drop rate doesn't feel that bad. If anything, I'm fine with Legendaries/Sets being relatively rare in their current incarnations (i.e., worthless for many slots) and satisfied with 20-ish Rares per run.

I still don't see why you can't buy pets or mounts for WoW. Those are digital stuff. I sure hope they add more stuff you can do with battle.net balance.
Vendor everything except level 60 rares

Level 59 rares have a chance to give exquisite essences
I feel your pain and it does suck to be in that situation. You are one of the .01% of the people that bought the game with a justified reason for hating the DRM. The rest can just leave. But I also don't consider the .01 % of people in your situation "Sacrificing too much".
You would think by the time we had our 4th OT they would have left, yet they still play. 100's of hours in a $60 game and they still complain.
Well hopefully by the time the expansion comes out I'll have enough to pay for it entirely with blizz bucks. That's probably the best for anyone who cashes into blizz bucks and doesn't play wow.
Joining pub games in Inferno made me wish that there are some min requirments for group play.
No, I am not gonna carry your 18k HP ass through the game. Go back exploiting waypoints and let Tyrael do the work for you!

There's another clearer post out there but I didn't want to spend the time looking around for it. Fact is, they did adjust the drop rates with the AH in mind. It would be silly of them not to. I just don't care for how that affects my enjoyment of the game.
Just Rings, Amulets, and Follower Relics.
Here's the thing though, discounting +Skills, what were interesting stats for Diablo 2? Damage, AR, Life Steal, IAS%, ...?
I do agree it's a little annoying that it's "Does it have primary Attribute and VIT? No? Doesn't matter!" but I think the amount of total stats to gear towards is far greater in Diablo 3.

I'm going to miss this thing. Pretty much seals that I can't play inferno anymore haha.
What were the stats on that beast? Just curious, I'm on Virgin Mobile prepaid ($25 /mo grandfather clause, not leaving that until I absolutely have to ) so I can't use SMS protect to cash out, and I got a pretty sick xbow drop the other night and was wondering what it would cost equivalent on the AH in terms of people actually buying the item.
Not worth it just because you'll produce way more wishful essences that are worthless.

Yeah ... a short time after that statement was made, the lead designer was trying to play damage control and denied it right?

Thats what I thought. Thanks
And then Jay Wilson is on record saying that entire post is wrong and that they didn't tune anything around the AH since it wasn't implemented at all during testing.
Giveaway #2 (North American servers only!)
No tricks, no smoke, no mirrors. These are some decent weapons for fresh 60's, or Act 1 Inferno 60's that I'm donating because I have no use for them, and I'm sure gaffers would make better use of it than letting it rot in my stash. All of these items dropped from Act 3 Inferno+.
You can choose one item, and after time has expired, I will roll for each item. Meaning six people are getting new items! The more people who want a weapon, the less chance you'll have less of getting it.
All you need to do is PM your GAF name and battletag and the item you want and you'll be entered.
All winners will get a free Exalted Pallium Shoulders recipe, free of charge, courtesy of Artanisix
The raffle will end 5PM Mountain Time on June 15th (Friday).

90% of my legendaries dropped when I didn't have my MF gear on, so it's really irrelevant. I once got 3 legendaries drop in the first ten minutes of a skelly king run.
Setting another give away in a couple of minutes, hope you guys are ready!
Skeleton King in hell or inferno mode?My body is ready for another giveaway!
I'm going to miss this thing. Pretty much seals that I can't play inferno anymore haha.
Wait....someone paid $200 for an item in this game?! If that's true I'm going to start powering into inferno.
I'm going to miss it, it was one of the best bows I've seen. But I wasn't playign the game.. but selling that pretty much garuntees I won't be playing DH in inferno anytime soon. So if I do come back it'll be as a melee class.

On one-hand, I could strip my Wizard down and make some money and just rebuy (or refarm, Act 1 is easy anyway) her equipment.
On the other ...
...uh...
...Guess I got nothing.

Anxiously awaiting the results.
I have all of work to decide if I want to take a break from D3 until 1.0.3. or not.
Or I mean, play my other characters.

I really want to see some kind of Diablo III NeoGaf Moneyhat leaderboard. Who's game.
I don't know if I could handle seeing how much people are making vs my $0.00 so far.
...or just how much people are spending on the game. Oh man.

One of the things about the glass cannon style DH gameplay is that once you get the muscle memory, mob patterns, optimal farming routes, and some small amount of vitality and resists (31-32k hp, 300 physical and fire resists), things get a whole lot easier in the most productive part of Act 3. I don't like ponies right now, yes you can farm them but it takes way longer than the optimal Siegebreaker run due to the absurdly high HP mobs.
As a DH I die about 4-7 times a run now ( more if I get an invulnerable affix that's rough), can clear 5NV Siegebreaker in about 25m. The loot is awesome and I am only capped by AH throughput in terms of money generation.
My semi-geared monk on the other hand is about as good at productive item harvesting as Robert Mugabe was at real agriculture.

Sounds cool to me. I'd like to see a thread for it, actually.
I wonder if non-Diablo GAF realizes there are people in here selling stuff in-game for $100+? It would probably blow some minds, haha.
I finished Act II with my monk the other day.
With my barb and wd friends...

I found one of these the other day and the damage was approximately 450. I was just wondering if this was worth anything other than selling to someone as a magic find weapon? Some people were trying to tell me it would sell for a bit since it was a set item but I wasn't really buying into that rationale.

It's much easier to do than it used to be. Act 2 quality gear goes for pretty cheap on the AH now. You will have some difficultly with certain affixes but provided you have remotely reasonable DPS (yes, DPS is a function of effective health in this game) , you will get through most of the content without too much trouble.
450 dps is awful. Might be worth something since it's a set item.
