well i cant really comment on d3 dueling cuz its not out yet, but d2 people botted like mad, so basically it was a grind mf fest like now

dunno how many hours people spent killing meph, chaos runs, nilth runs, baal runs just for items

anyway diablo is a pure hack&slash game that always required finding good items that takes a long time. pvp was and is not the main focus
idk what you guys expected from diablo. finding items is the biggest part of the game

but u had bosses t okill and good chances of legendarys and stuff that would be worth using
d3 they siad theydont want boss runs... well grinding through an act of a shitty story is boring as hell who wants to mf like that?
id rather do boss runs n have the drops.. but its piontless t okil la boss without 5 stacks.. its pointless to mf without 5 stacks... they ruined magic finding and literaly made it grinding
+ d2 u could join gmaes n trade... d3? select a quest and go.. or a trade channel that like nobody uses cuz ppl sellnig r sellnig 5k items for 5m or 50k items for 50m ... they took everything good from d2 n got rid of it they fucked up the curerncy with the duping n shit n doing nothing about it and they cant now cuz the rmah is up n ppl spent lots of $$
hnoestly the game itself isnt bad its about what i expected but the lack of reactions to stuff is disappointing tbh shit i got session spoofed and they treated me like i got hacked n told me to buy an auth then closed my ticket

They basically put in boss runs now though with the way valor works.
They just took out the guaranteed Unique/Set stuff
Also botting + duping was rampant in d2 so...

Less MF bots more GF bots though which basically just drives up the market price of godly items

yes but d2 had item currency easy found items were worthless d3 the main currency is gold which was mass duped maknig everything crazy expensive becasue godl itself is worth less
its a broken system ur pretty much forced to ah gear to advance and when u hit 60 ur low on gold and gotta farm even more for gear to beat a1.. then u gotta upgrade for a2 a3 a4...
blizzard doesnt even know wtf they want as the end product i think there just winging it ...member "braking an urn can drop the best item in the game" is now "destructible objects no longer drop items"

this was because bot scripts were running around smashing vases in a4 between the run to tyrael than just dieing with no gear and repeating the process non stop.

I do not see how the system is broken, yes hackers/botters are around but you can get good gear. I just run a1 with lots of mf and find some stuff to sell. My gear is improving steadily but I have no interest to advance to a3/a4 (I can see your point on the end game content) because it mathematically makes no sense. The guys have about 400% more hp and are obviously way harder to kill with the death rate being much higher. It is much more profitable for me, and most other players to quickly run a1 and trash everything without dieing or dieing very little and picking up lots of items to id fast. D3 is a trade based game, so it is expected you would need to use the ah to find better gear; although I have found some of my gear myself.

i run act 1 with 10 0mf find like 15 rares maybe 5 i62 and i63... every single 1 i ident is shit not 1 is even hlaf as good as the "charsi gear" my monk used they dont even sel lfor 5k in the ah ffs... like how am i suppsoed to mkae gold? my main income is from salvaging lvl 60 items n selling the mats n tomb of secrets... items dont mkae me shit for gold cuz there ALWAYS shit
ive palyed since the servers came up got error 37 n then actualy went up for good im yet t ofind 1 rare to sel lfor more then 500k and yet to find one legendary... i have a lv l60 dh monk barb wd and a 5 0wizard.. like 3 of them r 80+ % legit lvld palying through the game n i got shit to show for it
i got 116 hours into bot my barbs n omnk (oddly both r at 116 ) and fuck all to show for it... like 80 of those were mfing a1 inferno
e: theo lny good farming was me sellnig them unid but now that gay code glitch is fuckin me over til they fix that lol

Your mf is low for starters...

Try your luck at crafting. Get max and find plans. I've found a lot of plans and sold them for tons of gold but i've never actually crafted lol
