I despise organized religion. I admit it. In my opinion organized religion is man kinds largest mistake. But I do not hold religious beliefs against individuals unless they hold my non belief against me. The only time I get annoyed with religious people is when they feel the need to spout it off in peoples face, that is so annoying. What gives them the right to cram their belief down my throat when I don't cram my disbelief down theirs?
Organized religion, in essence, is a great idea just like Marxism (from Carl Marx' "Communist Manefesto") where everyone is rich, everyone has a job, everyone is equal and happy. The real problem, like any other organization in society, is having "elected officials" head them with a lot of power. Why? Power corrupts and humans are easily corrupted. You can look at the history of the papcy for an easy example. Even some of the popes, who are supposed to be head of one of the largest religious organizations in the world, did some shameful things that would make God face palm.
I agree with you though. The only way an organized religion would truly righteuos is if the God that they praised were indeed at the head of them, anything else is tainted.
1. If a deity was not controlling the movement of life in our universe how would the first organisms know they were going to die, and have developed the ability to reproduce? And if they evolved the ability to die, is that not history's biggest oxymoron?
...
3. If evolution is a method of adapting to ones surroundings, why did fish ever see the need to walk? For a fish they would have no sense of land, no idea what was on it, and no real desire to go there? They function amazingly in their own environment, lethal hunters, pack mentality etc... And what, they replace gills, get new eyes, grow legs etc.. all at the same time? Diversity is the spice of life and there are definitely breeds who have bits and pieces of a land walking animal's anatomy, but would it not make more sense that such a range of creatures were created to populate all areas of the earth, utilising it to the fullest, ensuring a global ecosystem is sustainable?
4. Water, such a complex medium that supports life and is responsible for all of existence as we know it - created through chance alongside the first organisms who rely on it for their very survival? Hmm.

I glanced through 40 pages of posts (thanks to this thread being advertised on the home page because of activity lol) and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents about this person's post here. Responses are purely my opinions so take it with a grain of salt.
1) Death is "programmed" into the working of the universe to return elements back to its original state. In other words, death acts like a balancing method within the universe. If nothing died this world would get very crowded no?
3) Early aquatic animals probably took its first steps on land for the same reasons that made humans take the first steps on the moon (and now mars) - curiosity. We have no reason to visit anything outside of earth's biome too, but still we did. Of course other reasons probably applied as well like escape from predation or more food/resources.
4) Im pretty sure, but correct me if I am wrong, the earth was formed long before any sort of life was created. Life only came to being when the Earth's conditions were ripe for life (temperature, gases, etc..).
Man is the only animal on earth that can experience the seven vices - lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Fundamentally, religions try to keep us away from succumbing to these types of vices. Off topic, I know.
I would like to end with a small reading from Tecumseh's "Live Your Life." "Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours."
Most monks I've seen farming act 3 inferno use dual wield 800+ damage weapons with LoH and crit damage. However, they strated out in act 1 with shields... maybe because most couldn't afford to get 2 expensive 1 handers.
1) Fix the damn DH Ferret bug and put them on passive mode so they stop aggro'in everything. Nothing pisses me off more than watching my ferret stand and stare at a pile of gold for 10 seconds.
2) 5 stacks neph valor offering guarantee rares from resplendent chests. Thos big yellow chests are just full of disappointments right now.
I recently geared up enough to run Act2 as a DH. The run is pretty challenging but fun, but I noticed that the drops at and above ilvl61 were at a lower rate than when I was farming Act1 with base 100% MF. To rule out the "bad luck" theory, I ran Act2 for a whole week - about 2 times a day. Most of the time I found 1 or 0 ilvl63 items at around 40% Base MF. Just yesterday I switched back to Act 1 now with around 165% base MF and a better weapon. One full run was about 40 minutes and I found about 4-5 ilvl63 items.
In my opinion, unless you can run act 2 with 150% base MF efficiently, Act 1 with a ton of MF is a better way to go. However, I have ran a few Act 3s and even without MF it seems to drop just as much as act 1 with a lot of MF but you have to factor in time, deaths etc.
I’ve seen a lot of people with over $500 even close to $1000 on their RMAH sales. As for myself, I have about $80 in Bnet with close to 400 hours. I haven’t got any big payoffs (gold or RM), so I am still waiting for that godly drop. If I ever quit, I have enough on my DH to make back $60 and then some, and all of the gear on my DH was either dropped or bought off GAH.
I have only spent $5 of my own dollars in the very beginning to upgrade my bow. After that I never spent any of my money on the RMAH. It’s pretty fun selling stuff on the RMAH; I suggest you give it a try.
on the other hand, really love seeing over-priced bows getting re-listed for the same amount of gold that it has been not selling for for the past 2 weeks lmao
I've had enough. Paid $60 for an online game that isn't even finished. I do not enjoy being a tester. I enjoy spending my money on completed games.
Just a few question's before.
So, do they still offer a refund?
If so, will I lose my lvl 60 character? If the game Does improve, I may purchase again in the future.
Will the exploits get worse?
Will the cheaters keep getting rich in game, while the people who have jobs never upgrade?
WHY is Blizzard putting up possible MF fixes on there website? If they need the general public to tell them how to fix there game. It really puts into perspective how shitty they have become. ( Yes i know its cool they are asking us our opinions and so forth. But jeez... get your head out of your ass. Thanks.)
This game is fun, but when its built around RMAH/auction House. Its not enjoyable when cheaters just reap the rewards.
How about we ask YOU a few questions before continuing on with your assinine request?
- How many hours have you put into the game? (I'm guessing at least 80-90 hours for a lvl 60)
- If you hate this game so much, why are you worried about losing your lv60 or returning in the future?
- If you will eventually "come back" why would you go through the trouble of getting a refund then re-purchasing the game?
- When have you ever seen an exploit get worse after a fix?
WHY is the first thing trolls (who have completely no idea why they even "hate" this game in the first place) always blame is that "this game is build around the AH/RMAH"? (please pull YOUR head out of your ass) For the millionth time, you are not FORCED to use the RMAH. Using the gold AH is just a quicker method of the traditional trade.
If you want to quit the game and you just hate the AH/RMAH so much, why don't you throw your gears and gold up on the auction house for next to nothing and quit this game for good? Teetering between "I want a refund" and "Maybe I'll come back when its 'fixed'" just sounds like you want to have a cake and eat it too.
Dumbest post I've seen in a long time.
BTW see you on the game tomorrow.
They had lower drop rates 2 weeks ago - everyone cried about it.
They JUST upped the rates AGAIN - everyone still crying about it.
If blizzard were to change ilvl63 rates to 100% and gaurantee that every weapon is 1000+ damage - EVERYONE WILL STILL CRY ABOUT IT.
Jesus Christ people, just stfu and enjoy the f---ing game already.
RAGE much.... im not bitching at all about the drop % of lvl 63 items lrn2 read before flipping out
Ok since you don't get the point of my post because you are incompetent, let me reword it for you.
If blizzard were to change Act3/4 of inferno to 100% ilvl63 drops, you would still cry about it.
Why? I can already see your cry baby self saying
"Whaaa! Why do I not always get a drop from elites?!"
"Whaaa! Why doesn't my ilvl63 always roll godly?!"
"Whaaa! I can't sell my awesome ilvl63 items for billions like before cause it drops so often now!"
Layman's term? You can never please a cry baby - leave it the way it is.
Love the game... but this is not going to stop third party gold vendors. Well, if blizzard were to completely eliminate third party vendors they would also lose a lot of revenue from them constantly buying new accounts lol.

I will test it's calculation accuracy when I get home.
I will be donating because I feel that a mobile ported version of this would be hella awesome!
