gosh lol idiotic players are aplenty on US bnet forums eh? cant say we have lesser here either lol

the ONLY problems D3 had was the impatient AND idiotic player pool it had, and releasing a beta as a finished game. Oh yeah lets not forget greed god actiblizz /endstory

ppl who are blaming a game's trade platform which player has a CHOICE not to use are just hilarious.

* Thus they feel they cannot upgrade on their own. They feel forced to use the AH, which leads to a vicious cycle. Once you use the AH, you are enslaved to it.

in his own words, he already stated the EXACT reason why ppl used AH, its their choice to use it or not, so when they decide to use it, why blame the system when its your own choice?

i have repeated this alot of time already lol, some players just dont get it

actiblizz beta game release problem aside ok, ALL the rest of the issues that grew out were due to the fact that players MADE their own choices HOW they want to play the game.

for example, botting, AH flipping, buying the top tier gears they could find available on RMAH.

actiblizz didnt point a gun at you to use the AH system, you pointed the gun at yourself, and you are blaming the company, so yea lol

The part where it becomes "forced" is not Blizzard pointing a gun to your head, but the difficulty curve of pre-1.03.

You farm easier content to gear up to progression content. Farm Act 1 to clear Act 2, farm Molten Core to go Blackwing Lair. But Act 2 was such an insane leap of difficulty, then you found the lv61 stuff you get from Butchers runs are completely inadequate against Act 2. Do you remember those 500dps lv61 weapons in the 1st week of release and thought they were awesome? Well they do nothing against pre-1.03 Act 2 mobs. Farming Act 1 over and over will not help you beat Act 2. So here comes the "forced" part, people turn to AH to get Act 2 progression gear.

true about the progression part, the difficulty gap was designed in a weird way that seemed impossible, BUT, its the final difficulty lvl inferno, so does making it easier WILL improve the gameplay or not? you decide, before the 1.0.3 patch, a minority of ppl were ALREADY farming act4 inferno, so why do they have an advantage over the majority that couldnt? food for thought bro.

AH was there as an OPTION for players to take the highway to the end. Not a neccesity.

And do you remember how those gears got into the AH if the difficulty spike was so large that it was supposedly unfarmable?

Underbridge, chest exploits, goblin resets, 3 second SS, mantra of healing, Tyreal. Even Kripp was doing goblin runs for days nonstop.
Exactly! I bought lv62 gears  form AH so I won't get one-shotted in a content that drops lv62 laugh.gif

they removed it and replaced it with what we have now, which was EXACTLY what majority of the complainers wanted, an EASIER inferno, and look at what we have now, do you still think it was worth it?

players fail to notice what they request comes with deeper chain consequences if they do not think thoroughly on what they are really actually requesting, developers are just feeding the requests for more cashflow, who is there to blame but ourselves?

it took them around a year to build act1, and players rushed the development coz they were afraid to wait another 3 more years of development, thats why when u play u will feel act1 is actually more developed and longer than the later acts, heck as u progress, u will feel those surroundings that enable you to trap kill mobs designs were getting lesser till none

im not even defending the game or company, heck im actually still waiting for them to redeem themselves, but if players keep whining & complain without thinking these critical problems thru and its TRUE cause of problem, actiblizzard will just keep spoonfeeding whatever bullshit the masses want and trust me, they have nothing to lose.

Actually pre 1.03 blizzard only need to change the drop rates to our current post 1.03 drop rates and they can keep the inferno difficulty as the nerf was not needed. Then the game can prolly last for another 3-4months.

eh? who told u that? lol

the ppl that were affected by the 1.0.3 drop rates change were those ALREADY farming act3/4

THOSE that were stuck at early acts were the ones benefiting from 1.0.3 patch rolleyes.gif

why do you think a minority went on an outrage after the patch? their awsm drops were traded off to please you minorities coz you guys cant play the game as good as them

Seriously, don't do anything that requires maths. Remember your post regarding armor values, that got shot down in flames? Please. Stop. Doing. Maths.
