OMFG... after editing my post, I have to see about 2 extra pages of bullshit... don't you guys know how to fucking edit previous posts? or are you just disregarding the rules?
SO... back to most of the dumbass comments displayed.
This is my account when I started to play:
If I solo'd a catacomb, you would get 1 to 9 monster spawn including EPs (OH FUCK NOW EVERYONE IS BITHING THAT MAX IS 3?). Drop rate then was abysmal in comparison to now. And I can continue with a ton of other stuff while using CRAP starter gear (fuck, even using Tier I gear upon creating the class)
Basically, you can NOT preach to those that have not experienced it, nor should you do it either (damn I should take my own advice

) ... but, with every contribution that Paul has made to make it better or easier to play this game, he did not consider the outcome of ruining it at the same time... I mean get real now, I would rather have less drops instead of more of the same BULLSHIT drops that mean jack shit to anyone other than shrining... for fudge sake, I have seen EE spears on HC going for 1 forum gold... I mean, a fucking heavy weapon of all things on HC just for 1 fucking measly forum gold... what the fuck is the game coming to when an item like a Heavy weapon with a LOWER drop chance goes up for just 1 fg... game needs more balance... stop bullshitting yourself with "play it this way or don't bother, or play like this or this will happen" (you never know what the next update will KILL)
