Just like real life, playing D3 is playing life.
Meh, if its a full rollback Ill lose 2 PLevels. Not a massive deal but damn. I also bought a few items on the AH before my gold on hand devalued massively making all the future auctions more expensive.
Sucks. I didnt get to sell any gems and make any money or anything either, I didnt even know it was going on until I logged out and hit the forums.

That's what I'm thinking too. I can't think of a scenario in which they can fix this without a full rollback and still keep the game going.
Seems legit.

Blizzard should just perm ban dupers for exploiting.
Hard ban waves may do it.

The economy was pretty fucked up even before all this. I dunno if this makes it any better or worse?
Either way I'm definitely not playing tonight.

Sure, but still that doesn't mean the money is out of the system just yet. Many of those people used it to buy things from people who didn't dupe. I watched the stream of one of the dupers to see what was going on and he bought a ton of items for billions from random people, then there's all those people who bought gems, etc. The money keeps moving around and changing hands.
Ultimately I have to imagine that they will still do bans, especially when you had streamers out there publicly doing it, or at the very least I'd imagine they can ban people from using the RMAH?
Oh and eek, I messed around with the Guardian Sentries, I am in love lol. They're way more effective than I remember them being to be honest (they probably got buffed at some point I'd guess). I don't personally find the rocket ones to be terribly more effective, especially against the 15% reduced damage. Also the bubbles on the guardian ones make it easier to keep track of when they've gone down as well. I did a good part of Act 1 on MP10 and never died, but don't think it was too time effective really. Messed around for a bit on Act 1 on MP8 and that seemed pretty good. Really need to get a better Calamity at least though. Also I think I'm going to keep Prep/Backup Plan over Caltrops, I'm not really feeling those all that much, especially being on top of something else to have to juggle.

Yeah I'd imagine you get a shitload of eHP from it since it's like a percentage based bonus and your EHP is already really high.
Inigo Montoya just got banned while streaming
SHIT JUST GOT REAL
Also this was just posted on the Blizzard forums, first blue post (I think?) since the patch went live that seems to heavily imply no rollback: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8770357939#5

I really have a love-hate relationship with Blizzard. Or more specifically, with Authenticator.
For the second time, I've had to replace my phone before I could go on to battle.net to remove the authenticator. For those not aware, if you plan on changing the device you have your authenticator attached to, you have to first go online to battle.net and go through a process of removing authenticator from your account entirely. Then you can install authenticator on your new device and sync it with that. But if your phone breaks, you're SOL until Blizzard Support can get around to removing it from your account for you.
And so I begin the process of waiting 2 days to get Authenticator removed so I can play D3 again.

So I'm flipping back and forth between between Inigo's stream and GoodIdeaGaming's stream, apparently GoodIdea didn't get banned because he sent Blizzard an apology letter before hand (wtf lol), but seemingly all of the other streamers got banned. Then on Inigo's stream he's bitching about how GoodIdea didn't get banned, and he's composing an apology letter to Blizzard right now.
This is fucking great.
This is fucking great.
Once happened to me a few years ago, I called and it was instantly fixed. Was no hassle at all.

This is the highest point of Diablo III's existence. Smoking the bong on his stream too. Maybe he can get arrested and banned in the same night!

-Patch introduced AH gold duping bug
-People quickly find it, and exploit it
-To spread the gold, the community puts up shitty items for 2B at a time
-Gold spreads, lols ensue
-Dat Zimbabwe economy

If it was on his stream, then it should be in his archives, provided he didn't erase it.
Expect all those transactions (From banned people) to be rolled back, it's really not that hard to do.
LOL.
RMAH complicates it a bit, will take awhile. People were moving money with gems on it.
