Well maka, I'm sorry this issue is so stressful for you. I'm sorry this is such a dealbreaker. I'm sorry that Blizzard is telling you what's fun, and bossing you around, and changing your routines and preventing you from interacting with your friends in the way you want.
News flash...I can't fix this. At least not on my own. All I can do is pretty much you said in that other thread...make noise and suggestions. And as far as I can see, that's what I'm doing here.
Where is any real suggestion or noise from you besides contradicting OTHER people day in and day out? Trust me, I'm not telling you to not post in this thread anymore, post here as much as you want. But at least I'm making a well-thought out suggestion. I'm doing my share of critical thinking, coming up with suggestions, ideas, philosophies that seem to make everyone happy on all fronts.
At least making suggestions this way, and on the official forums at the same time, I'm putting other reasonable alternatives right under Blizzard's nose. I can buy the expansion with a clear conscience, knowing I did about as much as can be expected of me as a player, short of holding protests outside their Headquarters, to make this game the best it can be, and not just what I want it to be.
So please do this forum, and Blizzard, a favor. Post a nice long thread about what you think should change about what they're doing in the expansion and pre-patch. I'd love to read all the ways you feel they're tying your hands and ruining your enjoyment, despite practically overhauling the entire game.
I'm sure it won't come off as exaggerated or making mountains out of molehills at all.
Exactly this. I've never once said people who don't like BoA are wrong. I'm not an elitist jaggoff who says people have to play the way I want to play. But unfortunately the amount of counter ideas I've heard on this subject is almost zero. In fact, other than 'just don't do it', I haven't heard a single reasonable approach, or logical thought out idea on how we can have both a stable, non-flooded economy, as well as free trading, balanced self found AND having playing the game the best way to acquire sought after items.
If the answer is 'well, I don't care about an inflated economy, I just want to have free trading and great self found', then awesome, that's where you stand. But realize there's a very large chunk of players (judging solely on the sentiment I see on both here and the Bnet forums) that DO care about how out of control the economy could get, and about how 3rd party bot sites will instantly become THE place to get your gear, again. I think the majority of us can agree that the AH really was detrimental to D3V. Well, taking out the AH but leaving up free for all trading just replaced the AH with 3rd party sites, and we're back to square one.
I'd be okay with this system, but with two restrictions;
If you're only allowed access to items that have dropped for other people in the clan you joined AFTER you joined, and you're only allowed to be in 1 clan per game type ( SC / HC ). I realize this isn't ideal for some, as they probably want to have 1 character in a clan of their buddies, another in a serious one, ect. But, the reason why I'm for BoA in general and why I'd only like this system with these specific restrictions is, I (and yes it's a personal opinion) want the *best* way to acquire items to be actually farming them yourself. If this system is put into place without the 1 clan per game mode rule, then the best way to acquire items instantly becomes having 1 character sit in a 3rd party bot clan, so you can just buy any item that drops off the 99 other bots in the clan from the website ( or whatever the max people in a clan is ).
