The blacksmith now offers crap...its as if they intentionally altered everything so you oculdn't use it on the beta. Not to balance the game mind you, just to screw around with beta. Probably so some dimwitted people could experience the game to be a little more challenging.
Of course they could have just not used the Blacksmith if they wanted that same feeling.....but if there is one thing I have learned on this site is that these wannabe hardcore players just want to force everyone else to follow their obscure self rules, not to actually just follow them for themselves. They don't have the moral fortitude to not cheat their own self rules!
Point of the BS was to get people ok gear and have some kind of gambling system, a yellow level 3 belt which was better then everything else that dropped probably wasn't their intention, its called a beta for a reason.
It wasn't the best thing that dropped. Usually it rolled low level bad stats.
And how can you argue it wasn't their intention? It was in the beta for months, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that people would use this thing.

Who wastes their time with MF and GF on beta?!? Its all about dmg.

This is a good change, blacksmith was too powerful, unlocking it was an incredible boost in power in the beta.
I'm also happy they removed +dex/int/str from the items and replaced it with random. You now have a lot more options at the blacksmith for armor but it requires luck to get the right item.
The first run-through is the only difficulty/loot feel run-through that matters.
When would you ever farm the first few levels for loot in any game?
World loot and difficulty can always be increased, messing with something someone already had is going to annoy them.
