im not taking sides here, but im gonna give my point of view in the current route D3 is taking ok, so lets start:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
release and before patch 1.0.3
several types of players as observed:
-the smartarse ones that somehow magically or skillfully got thier arse to finish inferno (FK YEAH BLIZZ-EZ THATS HOW I ROLL)
-the hardworking ones, medicore players, striving as newbies in inferno (hmmm the lvl gap in inferno is kinda huge O.o)
-the scrubs/slow lvlers, basicallyplayingforfun (lalalala~)
-the whiners (ANGRY Y INFERNO U SO HARD)
after patch 1.0.3
-the smartarse ones that somehow magically or skillfully got thier arse to finish inferno (WTF IS THIS SHIT?!)
-the hardworking ones, medicore players, striving as newbies in inferno (HMMMMMM...coop tiem!)
-the scrubs/slow lvlers, basicallyplayingforfun(lalalala~ why everyone is so noisy O.o)
-the whiners(FK YEAH)
after patch 1.0.3b
-the smartarse ones that somehow magically or skillfully got thier arse to finish inferno (earned my moneys im outa here)
-the hardworking ones, medicore players, striving as newbies in inferno (wow loot sux! well at least im finishing inferno, getting quite boring, i think ill go preorder TL2 or GW2)
-the scrubs/slow lvlers, basicallyplayingforfun(lalalala~ where is everyone lately? not many ppl on O.o)
-the whiners(WOW LOOT SUX BLIZZ SUX Y U NO LISTEN TO US PLAYERS?)
im gonna skip the current observation coz its funny and not funny to the whiners and im gonna get flamed.
oh yeah noticed how i left out the fanbois? coz they prolly dont give a fark anyways, if they feel blizz is cheating them or whatever(insert whiteknight whateva delusional remarks haters have here) they will do it at bnet and just quit, for those blindly defending blizzy for their mistakes? pls dont list them as fanbois, coz they are obviously a seperate tier of "the whiners" group, they compliment each other.
just sayin n pointin out the obvious.

really like your analysis. accurately put what i m going thru as the hardworking type. i completed Inferno on 5th July, after patch 1.03 and before 1.03b. been farming and grinding gear / gold every since. now more like a
scrubs. for me, bored? hmm... not yet.

ya, loot still sucks though, not much build diversity, etc... but i like the game! i like melee, i like to crash into mobs and killing 'em in a flash! that's part of the reason i m still farming in Act2 where my monk can kill elites in matter of seconds...

my take after patch 1.0.4
- the smartarse ones (*no longer in game, come check forum and flame all the way*)
- the hardworking ones (Bliz, this is your last
last chance, yet again...)
- the scrubs/slow lvlers, basicallyplayingforfun ( woot~ i wanna try some 2H)
- the whiners (BLIZZ SUX Y U ONLY LISTEN TO US NOW? TOO LATE! ADIOS!)
- fanbois (BLIZZ, that's so cool man! so cool!)
Wanna share a very good analysis on patch 1.04 by Flux:
http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/...-and-discussion"Why not retain MF-averaging, and keep individual MF as well? So the total MF shares, but players who have more than the average keep their own bonus. For example, if your Barb or Monk was the tank and only had 50% Magic Find, while that Demon Hunter providing artillery from the back had 200%, you would get 2/250 = 125% MF, while the Demon Hunter would keep his full 200%. And the Nephalem Valor stacks would add on top of that, as they do now. This would provide an actual bonus to playing in parties; players who were tanking wouldn’t feel they were doing all the work without getting the shared MF rewards, and players with great gear and high MF wouldn’t have a disincentive to party up. Everyone wins!"
