that's how it's supposed to be afterall. the amount of drops you have had in total increases linearly with the time you spent farming, but the with the amount of drops it will get harder and harder to find items that grant you more points than the previous ones. the first 10 drops are always get on your list but from then it will be harder to find an update item by item, duh

Do you expect people to find 10 tyrael's in a month on their sp characters?
None of the items in the list are easy to find. Even IK maul (1 point) can be hard to find. Improving your score once you have 10 items requires a lot of patience and luck.

It is a bit dissappointing, however, that only about a third of the enlisted participants are actually competing.

I work overnight shifts so. I don't play as much as I did. Anyway, with the lead I got right now, I can take a few days off. I'm confident with the score I got.

Sorry, still stuck in LK, but I'm hoping I can start pits / tunnels this weekend

I'm sorry, but they patched Diablo 3 so all my friends began again.

this^.

shut up w/ the rest

I agree it's a bit disappointing, I haven't gotten to play as much as I wanted either and I do appoligize for that. More important stuff came in between.

It happens

Come on guys, clearly +4 astreon's just fall out of the sky.

In process of buying a house or... farming shit.

Choice is obvious. For someone serious at least.

Let's face it guys- farming for endless hours in a 14 year old game wears on ya. Thousands of runs can really get to ya especially if it feels like an obligation.

I suggest everyone taking a full week off and dont even think about Diablo.
Live your life. Follow up with life responsibilities. Engage with your family and friends and such. Dont think about diablo and then in 7 days, come back to it.
Extend the deadline for this one week and let everyone take a week off to recharge.
These countless runs break your spirits down after a while.

Thats my 2 cents.
Take a real genuine break and come back to it in a week.
When you take tiny breaks and still have that back of your mind debate on whether or not you are going to make time for some runs tonight, it loses its fun very quick.

Recharge the batteries fellas- obligation free.
