- There are a lot of ways to counter death zerging. Players have already suggested that when you die, you get a debuff that reduces your stats, the more you die, the less effective you are going to become. Guess what Blizz did with that idea? That's right, they dumped it
- IAS overpowered? Who made it overpowered? Whose fault is that? The developer? Or the player?

Why not buff other stats to make it on par with IAS? Why nerf it?

And what did that do? Players flocked to crit damage and crit % instead. Are they gonna nerf that too?
- Actually they did remove it. At one time, act 4 pots/vases used to drop nothing. I know cause I was doing act 4 at the time just shortly before and after 1.0.3. Then they readded the loot back.
A lot of the changes were ninja fixes. I can recall a lot of the changes never even made it to the patch notes.

- let me ask you this, if you already die the first time, doesnt that already mean your stats *MAY* not be adequate when you die the first time? if you get stats penalty, doesnt that mean you're almost guaranteed to never defeat said elite until the debuff goes away? if there is a timer, how long would that be? do you not think that players wouldn't be whining/crying about downtime of the game itself (cant even farm with shit stats no thank you) instead?! at least for repair bills, if you're not death zerging anymore, you can eventually farm back whatever you loss, with no down time at all. (inferno too hard? isnt there hell difficulty for you to fall back on? )
i mean, have you EVER thought of WHY they dumped it instead of OMG BLIZZ DUMP IDEAS THEY (or players) SUGGESTED, OMG BLIZZ SO DUMB
- i played post nerf, pre 1.0.3. destructible still drop loot/gold. i cant attest for royal crypts vase farming, because im not a wiz HURRRRRR. but now that they readded back according to you, ninja or not, why are you still harping about it?
- a lot of "rumors" and speculations may or may not be true. however no one seem to have solid numbers/proof unless blizz themselves reveal numbers transparently. granted, they probably have their reasons, regardless if its wrong/or not for not being totally transparent. however whatever baseless accusations on ninja nerfs/buffs and RNG superstitions are in the end, not facts.
really though, if there's anyone pulling "facts" outta ass right now, all "facts" seem to be pointing closer to you and further away from bashiok at this point.
