Although it is not a true advice but please do not join high mp games before you have sufficient gear. Besides that, try the guides which have been posted in this sub forum.
It is most definitely true advice.
Do not be a hinderance to yourself and/or others.
Play on a level in which you will be of some benefit to the other players.
Currently at PL 42 on my WD (190k dps / 55k hp) and I've made a decent hellfire ring and put a radiant star ruby in my helm and with 5 NV stacks my +Bonus EXP gain went from 979 to 1094 and I felt obligated to come here and ask if with my gear, is +115% bonus to xp worth the ~30k dps and ~8k life.
The only real downside would be botting, but hopefully bots won't be able to do the hardest content that actually gives competitive reward experience.
they won't need to grind the hardest content for competitive experience. They'll be grinding 24 hours a day 7 days a week until infinity because there is no limit on paragon levels. Humans will never be able to compete with that.
why do they have to be reduced, it is very good gold sink - just instead of mainly fighting inflation, it will create demand and establish gold as currency
they'll still remain a gold sink. The average percentage of gold spent on crafting will be easier to regulate because there won't be such a disparity between the rich and the poor. The average mp1-5 player doesn't make billions daily like mp10 players do.
second, why are we going to need a lot more gold, so much so that you expect items will vendor for more and purchaseables will be cheaper? With no auction house, gold will not remain the standard of currency. People will be bartering items, and most likely a new item will become the new currency, the same as the stone of jordan did in diablo 2.
Need I remind you that one marquise gem costs, what, 20 million to craft? Plus the 'ingredients' (3 of the previous gem tier, tomes, etc). And what do they cost to remove from a socket? 4 million or something?
These prices were thought out for a D3 that had an AH; without the AH, they have to be reduced.
I'm saying a reduction in crafting costs is way more likely a scenario considering a players income will drop significantly when the AH shuts down.
I'm completely guessing here, but if I had money at stake, I'd predict the following for the expansion:
1. Higher tier gems will drop than can drop currently
2. Either a lot more gold will drop, items vendor for a lot more and/or gold gets used for less stuff / stuff costs less
I think it's likely that having some extra gold / high-tier gems will help in the expansion, but I think it's also likely Blizzard will try to even the playing field somewhat between people with billions of gold and people playing for the first time, particularly with paragon 2.0 to give the older players a strong starting advantage there. I'd say if you want to spend a small amount of cash in the short term to have fun and give a small advantage in the expansion, have fun with it. Otherwise, I'd wait to at least see what Blizzcon reveals.
first of all, of course higher tier gems will drop in the expansion. we're going to be level 70.
