99% of oranges and greens become Forgotten Souls and it takes 50 of them to re-roll one normal orange or green you really do need but require the ancient.
There are still some insanely difficult items to obtain. Yang's Recurve, Wand of Woh, Band of Rue Chambers, Slanderer/Little Rogue just off the top of my head have given me great pains. Meanwhile how many people are running around in one of the 100's of Blackthorn's pieces they've had drop?
Diablo III is not a special snowflake game like World of Warcraft where someone with Warglaives either is extremely lucky or entirely too persistent. Do you really want to spend 10-60 weeks getting an item/set like that?
Diablo's end game is all about pushing paragons and GRift levels. I don't care if you're full ancient with 400 Caldessan's on every piece, you may still not be good enough to hit 100's.
If this game were all about gear and had zero skill I might agree with the principle of drop rates being too high. However playing a zDPS monk and needing health globe bonuses on top of vitality, life per hit, resistance and the like can I tell you how many Hellfire Amulets I've had to make to get on with a useful passive, 3 good stats, health globe bonuses AND ancient?
The line of good and great pieces is so big that merely having one doesn't equal its usefulness. We've all had items where the "normal" is better than the ancient. Drop rates reflect that fact.
I agree with you. but you miss one very rare legendary here. Furnace. I Can't get any.

I wrote down a line frome Squirt the Peddler as a meme for one of my friend once. And I had to replace a ( , ) for it to work. Somehow that restricted ponctuation was too much for the game to handle.
(I'm not trolling this is actually true)

For the last few days I've been running Grift starting from 1 to 25 to get around 500 blood shard for a total roughly 30 minutes each time. Skipping 1 to 9-11 to 16-21 to 23-25, a total of 4 or 5 grift depending on the time it took me to finish it and always getting around 500 blood shard for none to 8 legendary per hour from Kadala.
A good way to farm stuff without being too difficult. And without mentioning the legendary dropping from the Gardians.

I love when people call me a Troll. Things I don't usually do that often. My doctor said that I should Troll more so that I can be more healthy. Trolling others make me laugh and laughing is good for your health.

Even if the numbers were adjusted to increase drop chances it STILL feels worse to me on an emotional level. ( not very scientific, huh?)
But when you have 500 shards and stuff costs 100 shards, you really don't get many shots at something you actually want. And I walk away feeling somewhat depressed. I guess if it was 20 shards, and the rate was the same, at least I feel like I had more chances for that roll to go my way. Again, not a numbers thing proven out on paper, just my emotional gut reaction.
Am I the only one feeling this way?
Having to work more for better rewards and not having much more rewards, even if the rewards are crap, I would say on the emotion side. I guess i could say i'm feeling sad about it. But I know it's not how it work and like you said, on paper the numbers are telling me that I will get more legendary out of it.
And calling playing Diablo 3 a "work" is kinda stupid IMO.

Just a quick heads up. A recent bluepost had suggested that they were "watching" on how people "feel" about Kadala's reward rate after the hotfix to crafting materials.
A political response if you ask me and nothing was mentioned on ether both side of the question but they know how we feel about it. For the bether or worse.
1. Not anymore (Thank god !)
2. Public chat, general chat in-game. or Diablofans =)
3. You can add some friend or join community chat like "rift it foward" or "looking for group".
4. There is not anykind of open world pvp. For pvp you have to talk to a NPC "brawler" to go to a different arena in-game. People have to go in there for pvp and can leave at any moment.
5. Yes. Depend on how much you play, how you play and if you play solo or in a group. (ex: playing in a 4 man group at torment 6 it could take less than an hour.)
6. If you have Reaper of Souls and you kill Malthael on story mode you will unlock Adventure mode with bounties and Rift. Or if you think like me and being the best in every class with 100% achievements and the best gear there is... (I've been playing since the biginning and i'm not there yet)
7. Some would say the Monks are the best others would say Crusaders or Wizards. At the end it's all come down to a matter of opinion and the way you feel it. (IMO)
8. In my opinion if you can spend 60$ for the full game and play at least 60 hours of it ($/H) The game is worth buying. I have more than 400 hours in it and I still find the game good and I enjoyed it even after 2 years.
Hope it help you decide. You can count me in for that. But this is my honest opinion and it doesn't reflect the opinion of others. I would suggest you wait for more opinion.
PS. To Diablofans : The "quote" button is somekind of messed up for me.
EDIT #2 : Don't pay any attention to Troll and you'll live a happier life...
Do the people who come to this site not read anything on the main page? You have a GREATER leg chance and the RG makes up for the mats. How is anyone complaining?....I AM SPECIAL SO I DESERVE LEGS....stupid entitled generation.
I'm guessing every people playing diablo should always agree no mather what happen to the game good or bad. It's all come down to an opinion or a point of vue. I don't know about others opinions, that's why I put that question inside my post to know what people think about the change they have made in the recent patch. The main forum was so full of Trolls and people dictating what everybody should think that I thought maybe here people are more civilized and were able to talk about it without that kind of reply.
I guest I was wrong... well so long Diablo "fans".
Oh and I almost forgot. In the bigger picture I think this decision is a GREAT one on Blizzard behalf. People will have to play more to get what they want (maybe not that much but anyway) So more people playing Diablo mean more people at Blizzard office for making more stuff for Diablo and other games.

Just look for Rhykker video on the best build this season and I think WD is a pretty good alternative.

Anyway... Why should I care if I find the game fun and still playing to this day ?

Unfortunatly I don't have the screenshot anymore. It was probably at the biginning of the game.
