I did use the AH a lot for all my softcore characters. But on hardcore, I didn't buy anything off of 3rd party sites, so I played self found. What occurred to me was that I would have the same feeling you described, pretty much 'guilty', whenever I'd have farmed enough gold to buy something low level off the AH, or buy stuff off of vendors. Reflecting on that, I think I got that feeling because I knew that I had pretty much just maxed that slot for many more levels. I knew that when I bought those items, I pretty much guaranteed that I wouldn't be actually finding my own upgrade for that slot for awhile.
Playing on the PTR, I'm MORE than happy to grab a rare that's an upgrade from a vendor, because I knew the chance of an upgrade was pretty high still in the next couple of levels, and I knew that I would defiantly be finding an upgrade in no more than 3-5 levels.
Loot 2.0 feels REALLLLY good. I can't freakin wait for launch.

I completely understand what you're saying, OP.
