i agree ^ . Thats exactly what is wrong with the pre 1.03 and pretty much done purposely by blizzard to push players to the AH market. Act1's ilvl61 gears would not cut it especially if you're melee in act2. In fact so many of us was forced to reroll into a range class to farm act3 to finance our melee toons stuck in act2.

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.

Dont quite get what you mean. Those guys that are farming act3 and act4 before 1.03 are mostly range class or had fed gears to their melee chars. Gear check is a gear check without ilvl62/63 gears available in act1. Only way doing it without AH was graveyard zerg in act2 hence 1.03 gear drop changes and repair cost increased.

Post 1.03
Damage from monsters in Acts II, III, and IV in Inferno difficulty has been reduced.

and

Inferno - Act I
iLvl 61: 17.7%
iLvl 62: 7.9%
iLvl 63: 2.0%
Inferno - Act II
iLvl 61: 18.6%
iLvl 62: 12.4%
iLvl 63: 4.1%
Inferno - Act III and Act IV
iLvl 61: 24.1%
iLvl 62: 16.1%
iLvl 63: 8.0%

You now get a chance to loot 62/63 in act1. If they had not reduce the damage done by mobs, gears will eventually help any player to progress through content. If you had raided in wow you will understand what im trying to convey.
