Will buy. PM me.Was about to vendor this, but I remembered there is such a thing as a DH melee build - is this something anyone would use?

Haha someone bit on that?
That's what bothers me most about the difficulty curve. It's a stair. And thanks to some affix combinations, the steps are of greatly varying height, too.
Anyway, back to farming gear for my Barb.

Eh, ZK > Belial is really fast depending on your gear. Much better than Maghda. Still not as fast as Butcher though
I put it on the RMAH
I decided to throw it up for 20 bucks and see if anyone bites! Now the AH is down for me.direct deposit to bank account or have them send you a check.
It's a recognized effect. I guess the high price just floats things to the top for people. It's like a shelf at eye-height.
Yep.. sad paypal took a 30 dollar chunk outta the damn thing.. but eh whatcha going to do? This just means both diablo III and lollipop angel were purchased by some moron.
Bosses have 2 guaranteed rares when killed with a full stack of NV, regardless of your MF level.
MF simply increases your chances that the items dropped will be of higher quality. It doesn't increase # of drops or guarantee a certain quality. It's also pretty miniscule. So if a legendary or set had a .01% chance of dropping to begin with, 100% MF would only raise that to .02%. Still pretty shitty drop rates.
I have yet to get a set item in this game either with 120 hours played. Only one shitty legendary, and that was in Normal mode.
I think one of the main reasons people see so few legendaries/sets, especially while leveling up, is that unlike in D2, there isn't a legendary/set piece for every base class of weapon/armor.
For example, assuming D3 item generation is similar to D2, when you kill a mob, it would first determine the type of item dropped and its iLvl. Then, based on your MF, it would roll to determine the quality of the item (normal, magic, rare, set, unique, etc.). But if that item at that specific iLvl has no legendary or set version of it, then there's a ZERO percent chance of getting a unique when it drops, even if you had 500% MF, compounding the already low drop rates.
I posted some 65 resist all, 85 vitality, 23 phys resist gloves for 7 bucks and they sold instantly (were my previous gloves too). No one bought them for 500k on the gold AH, so I just thought that without main stat no one wanted them, but I guess I was wrong.
I think the way the AH lists items by default (by price) makes it so that people just check the first 2-3 pages of the top and bottom prices, or maybe people are dumb and if they see they are more expensive they think they are better?

I am amazed. $200 cash money.
This is what I was thinking. I recognized what I was selling wasn't the greatest and most people might drop like 1-3$ on the upgrade and listed them accordingly. The bracers had All resist in the 20s and other primary stats so they were pretty middle of the road.
Drop in the bucket how much my friend made/is making still selling gold by botting. Was 1k+ last time I checked... going to ask him again how much he's up to now. But ya 200 on a single item is fucking insane.. yay for insanity.

So does the Auction House not really become viable until you've made it to the later difficulties of the game? As in, I'm not going to find anything on Normal that's even worth trying to sell? It's all still new to me.
Word to the wise...don't try to get it out.
Spend it. Trying to get it out is how Paypal knows to go "Wwwwaiiiiit a minute there champ. We're going to need a fat stack of your personal info before you can have that money"
It depends on how things shake out. I don't know if there will be a market for low level goods or not.
yea, nothing in Normal is worth selling.

Cool. I was starting to worry that maybe I had found some potentially profitable items, but sounds like that wasn't the case. Time to breeze through Normal! Thanks, guys.
Depends on your definition of "worth selling", some stuff will sell, just for like 5k gold though; granted, this is not a lot of gold, but if you don't have a L60 to farm inferno with, you might as well post w/e you have for a little extra gold. I am glad that people do sell low level stuff though, I outfit my barb alt with a new set of gear every 5-10 levels for 50-100k gold, you can get some good stuff for cheap since it is low level, the barb is sitting at 1200STR/2k dps (sword and board) in the low-mid 30s.
Pathetic people find a way to enjoy the game they purchased?
Oooook.
I just don't care. Doesn't effect me. Enjoy your game how you like. This is NOT a competitive game.
Seems more rational than what we're doing (farming various bosses in inferno), to be honest...
yea, once you've been through Hell/Inferno, going back changes what you consider valuable. You can take a lvl 50+ character later and rush through Normal and find tons of low-level rares easily.
Had none of my items sold, I'd be cursing botters for ruining the economy. Right now though, all boats seem to be getting floated, which makes it difficult to be angry.
Still...maybe if they didn't exist, someone would have bought my Hammer Jammers for $20. Yes...this must be the reason they didn't sell...
(If I'm sad about one thing not selling, it's that helm I posted. Like 39% MF, on a helm that a barb could actually use as a decent part of their kit. Buy mah GG MF Barb helm, RMAH eccentrics!)
"Bots" refers to a script that farms gold 24/7 without you doing anything. It's not "enjoying the game how you like", it's "cheating" no matter how you look at it.
Seems to me that since all the really tippity top tier gear was moved over the RMAH, a lot of regular AH customers got hungry for some deals. I had some gear left over (really bad/average stuff) that I put up for decent prices and today I log on to see they are ALL sold. That has never happened to me before and now I got enough for a glove upgrade.
There is still a market on the Gold house, a lot of people don't want to buy items for dollars and you can still make a good amount of gold off of them and then probably sell the gold or buy a better item and sell that on the RMAH. There is a whole level of meta game to this AH now and lots of ways to make money.

He has 3 accounts running bots last time I checked. I have one of them on my friend's list... so I know he still has atleast 1 running.
Really wish I had been smart like him.
Weren't you the guy who accused me of botting and attempted to frame me in a bad light?
Uhhhhhh ooooookaaaaaaaaaay then. Flip flopper much?
This isn't really true. When I twink my char I always buy gear from the AH and I pay anywhere from 5-20k per piece. I know it's not a lot but to a new player 5-20k gold is a pretty big deal.
The things I look for:
helm - socket
chest - 2-3 sockets
pants 2 sockets
all pieces: +xp per kill, main stat, vitality
boots: movement speed
If you're low level and doing nothing with your auction slots it won't hurt to list some stuff up for low buyouts. My advice would be not to fill past 6 slots on really cheap items though since you don't want to lock everything up in case you get good items.
Maybe I'm in the minority as I seem to be one of the few people actually playing the game to level my alts to 60 so who knows but I'm sure there is a market out there for good items at any level.
AFAIK, the bans only targeted one specific bot. There are two other D3 bots that were unaffected by the bans.
There is definitely a market for every level and there is even a market for Act specific Inferno gear. Like some people would rather incrementally upgrade their Hell/Inferno gear rather than buy a 2 million gear upgrade straight up which means there is still a market for those 600-700 DPS weapons and such. I just sold off 2 600 DPS weapons and a 700 DPS weapon which is really only good for clearing/farming Act 1 Inferno.

What in the world is this? I don't even...
So he bots to make money by selling gold and you defend him? Lol...ok
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
just going to save everyone 6 minutes of fluff and basically list anything that you think seems ok

You can sell gold straight up for real money? Or does he use the gold to buy items off the gold AH and then flip them on the RMAH?
I'll defend him. It's not a competitive game, in the grand scheme of things.. who gives a shit? Intially I was upset.. but fuck, while we're all getting hung up about these people "ruining" a virtual economy in a fucking game, he's making tons of cash. We're the stupid ones.
He sells it to a 3rd party.

You make money, you report it...lol. Especially when there is no witholding on it.
Stuff like the TF2 economy and this game are going to make the IRS hit digital good hard.

What does it not being a competitive game have to do with this? He is exploiting a game to make money...no it doesn't effect me. Just seems really shady to me.
Really an odd thing to defend if you ask me.
I destroy everything though. D:
They'd spend more auditing me than I make in a year. Unless Student Loans count as income....

Do they?
Thank God.
I bet plenty of students use them as "income" on CC apps though.

No.
Shady? Exploiting a game to make money? That's the whole point of Diablo 3 if you haven't noticed. Blizzard, Paypal, anyone who puts stuff on RMAH, botters, 3rd party gold sellers. All them are making profit by "exploiting" this game.
