well i stop playing D3 sometime last year after gotten all my chars to lv 60 inferno. I just only recently started up again and noticed the changes in

1. paragorn level (an awesome change, and solves my MF dilemma)
2. some legendaries now actually usable (still lots of other legendaries still need to be fix)
3. dueling just added (kinda crap in it's current state)
4. MF is no longer shared among the group (very awesome change. No more worries about co-oping and it affecting your MF negatively)
my battletag is

Moogle#6806

and this is my Barbarian

Anyway does anyone who has a IT technical background able to confirm what the blizzard rep said, that the request time out on the hops 3 and 6 means the connection issue is on my ISP side when performing standard tracert ??

I thought the request time out is not relevant because it happens AFTER i connected to the D3 server, and not between my PC and D3. Any ideas ? 

i don't play with people who do that. problem solved 

even if they don't mf gear, i notice people with really bad gear (Low dps and survivability) ... i usually avoid them as well, as i rather solo farm as i can do it faster myself.

i think no mf sharing is better, because before the penalty was too high because co-op was never an option because it was a huge detriment for mf farmers.

But with the addition of paragorn 100, and no mf Sharing, CO OP is in fact a very attractive option because you can clear areas faster.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the fact some people like myself now screen who is geared for co op partnering with aka who pulls 200k+ and who are still lowbies still doing 80k.

urgh... i'm outta the pic then for ur screening 

if Monster Hunter is a material gathering troll game, D3 is a gear drop troll game...

The ping result seems good.

it's more apparent for Ubers partys, as nobody will co op with anyone for ubers mp10, if they can't do 200k dmg or more
