There's a reason everybody wanted inferno nerfed since almost all of the gear you get before that is worthless in the AH. It's discouraging knowing the best wep you find has half the dps of stuff that sells for a few thousand gold.
Their intent was that Inferno progress actually gave a sense of progression. It kind of makes sense for tiered drops. The fact you're not restricted to those drops from your tier was a bit of a bad call (there's really no market for ilvl 61 weapons). Normal - Hell stuff being worthless is much the same as higher ilvl stuff is still usable at lower character levels which makes the best options for every slot to be things from later in the game. But, you also don't need any AHing to get through to Inferno.
Edit: Which makes me wonder, would people have been dead set against the AH being Inferno only? Makes those lower level Legendaries a bit harder to find someone who wants it (then again, it's hard enough as is just due to how bad many of them are).
And Inferno isn't even that bad. People just want to progress through it faster than Blizzard wanted people to. We were told months to progress and were fine with it. Then we played and decided two weeks is okay. But I suppose I'm in the minority in regards to thinking this.
Like I said, I'll keep an eye on Torchlight 2 but since I don't personally know anyone I play with that is jumping ship, I don't want to jump ship to solo play it :x That's all.
