Diablo 3 continues to be an enormous and huge success.....ummmmmm I wouldn't go that far.
It's only one of the fastest selling games, most pre-ordered games on Amazon, most first-day sales and as of today one of the best selling pc games ever. It's still played by over 1 million players every day.
I suppose I shouldn't gone that far, I should gone even further looking at sales numbers and such. Diablo 3 is probably one of the biggest successes in history of pc gaming. Thank you for correcting me
The game is horrible and unless you live in a cave and havent played anything else you would see this. Loot system is crap, crafting is crap, class balance is crap, there is absolutely NO end game. While we are tossing around faulty logic I guess cause more people live in China that makes it the best country to live in?

If you really, truly believe the crap you've written about D3 Tiffy, just out of curiosity since this thread is so far off topic already, wtf are you even doing here? This site is called 'diablofans' & yet I can't find 1 of your posts where you even come close to supporting the game, developers, or players ... even with constructive criticism. THERE is the faulty logic getting tossed around (and not just by you).
Not meant to be a personal attack, but all you hater/trolls make reading & enjoying this site tiresome to say the least.

As a US taxpayer I feel obliged to apologize to you for the fact that your public education was substandard. But, do the rest of us a favor, please stop advertising it.
You know it's actually quite comical to see people bitch and complain about the thing they say they want. Before it was "OMG AH RUINS GAME DELETE IT!!!" now that effectively the AH is useless to the vast majority of players due to gold prices becoming non - existent ala duping all I hear is " OMG BLIZZ RUINS GAME MOAR!!! *WHINE* i CAN'T BELIEVE IT NOW HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO GEAR UP?" It absolutely makes me laugh at how stupid some people can be. I'm taking this gold thing as a sign from the heavens. Keep the shit the way it is now let people have the excessive amounts of gold they so badly wanted and see where it drives the prices too. Then the average player will have no choice but to actually FARM their gear and hey that's not a bad thing. It's a lot more rewarding when you can say I self found all my BiS gear.
On another note if Maka says this patch is good then that's also a sign from the heavens that this game is on the rise!

This is my new favorite burn on multiple levels. +1'd
The economy will recover and bounce back with a slight inflation but nothing major after it stabilizes. Initially after the AH comes up Im sure you'll see some crazy inflation but I'm sure it'll recover.

Wow, not everyone hated the AH? People have differing opinions? What a shock. Just because you see some people hating on the AH doesn't mean everyone does. Once something like this happens, where it actually affects those players that were once silent they now have a much greater desire to voice their opinions because they want things to go back to how they once were.

It's almost 100% that the majority of the people hated the AH, a lot of people do like it I never said they didn't. What I said was the people hating the AH are now mad that it got fucked up. It was a stab at people who switched sides as this duping exploit happened. Not at people who are upset at this bug in general.

Even if the value of gold is down, your gear will simply be worth a new "standard" after the dust settles and the market stabilizes.
I have a love-hate relationship with the AH. I love it because I get to min/max my character without too many obstacles (my competition is basically others who have bigger budgets and are also min/maxing their characters) and I can test out various gear builds at a whim (e.g. see my Nat's set barb and Legacy Nat's DH I basically put together within minutes).
I hate it because it actually prevents me from playing the game, because I know in the AH, the rewards will be right there in front of me at some point or another... and I can't guarantee the same for my own in-game drops.
Waiting eagerly for revamped itemization. I cannot possibly care less about people who have duped gold/flooded the market with garbage gold. The one thing it'll do for me is keep me away from the AH/RMAH for a while, which I see as a great thing.
It's a good thing that we have some rational people on this forum and not only a mob of raging trolls. I was about to try and explain shit but you guys already did, GJ.

This only proven the Diablo 2 was a greatest game of all time. Diablo 2 was fun for almost 10 years. Diablo 3? Most people stop playing after a month.
You talk like Diablo 3 is a MMORPG. It's not. One month playtime is way longer than I (and a lot of other people) played any non-MMORPG game.
Yeah and a majority of those sales came from people renewing their WoW subs for year to get the game and the mount, and yes they factored those sales into it. D3 was a huge success sale wise because people had so much hope and promise that they would deliver after waiting 10 years. Look how empty channels are, look at the lack of people logging on. This game lost a lot of steam.
One million annual pass subscribers is not majority. Far from it.
If Diablo 3 was a MMORPG I would have agreed with you. But it's not. The activity of channels does not say anything at all about game activity.
1. There is a limit on 99 (or 100) people per channel.
2. Not everyone like to type in these channels. There is rarely any need for it. There is an AH (and active trade forum) for trading. There is a quite good match making mechanic in place for people looking for groups.
3. A lot of people are not even in those channels. They either not joined them at all or decided to leave them.
Also lack of people logging on? I suspect you mean your own friend list which can't really speak for the whole player base as a whole. There are plenty of people online, you just need to add them to your friend list. According to Blizzard there is 1 million players online each day, so it should not be that difficult finding new friends.
Where do you source the 1 million active players statistic? I'd really like to see some proof on that. Also, is that global or regional?

It's apparent you never played diablo 1 or diablo 2 or any of the previous iterations of this game. There has never been an 'end game' because one you kill diablo..the game is over. It's a hack and slash, you just do the same thing over and over again. What more of an end game would you want, what more of an end game could you expect?
If you're going to try to make an argument at least give it something to stand on. Don't just say its crap, explain why. As far as class balance goes, they never have attempted to create perfect class balance, and its honestly not THAT bad. (QQ WW Barbs!) I'll give you that 'crafting' is crap, but its gotten better, and yes it still has a lot of room for improvement. Itemization in this game could improve, but its really only a few minor tweaks to get it where it needs to be.

I have played the game since launch and have 100s of hours of play time invested. I have seen Blizzard do NOTHING to make the game better. Every time I get a new class to 60 Im forced to hit the RMAH for gear because you cant get it from playin gth eactual game. With over 100k elite kills I have never sold an item for more than 100 mil gold and in the last month I havent even gotten a drop that I have listed on the AH. Am I not right to express outrage as they choose to destroy the game rather than make it better? Im not a hater or troll Blizzard is. Compare this game to something like Path of Exile and please tell me where its actually better? The loot system is broken and doesnt revolve around time spent in game but the AH. Crafting is terrible. Blizzard doesnt listen to its players. Hell this game was never even beta tested unless you consider what we are doing now "Open Beta"
After this patch, the bug could have made every player's but mine own gold count have exponential zeros attached to it, and I still wouldn't care. My item hunt and game experience isn't at all related to the auction houses.
Didn't care about everyone having god-mode in D1, didn't care that duping was out of control in D2, and still don't care about the bugs that consume people's time complaining in D3.
Edit- That Tiffy poster above me is clueless. I can see why he/she is getting flamed.

Once a few states start forming a union, we figure they should make it official and create a federal government. Otherwise, you're just living in sin.
