I can still enjoy the graphics with a fullscreen map, because the map would be at like 20-30 opacity. That's stupid that they don't even give you the OPTION to do it like D2.

"other people's gear shouldn't effect you" is such a terrible argument, and people should stop using it.
It shouldn't, but it does.
Other people's words shouldn't effect people, but they still do.

When I work hard for my gear, and see that someone I'm playing with bought all their gear, it effects me. You can say "it shouldn't" all you want, but it does. It tells me that all the hard work and time I put in the game is only worth X amount of dollars. It tells me that I wasted my time "enjoying" the game and getting to a high level, when I could have just bought all my gear and be just as good.

"If you get rid of the RMAH, people will just buy it elsewhere" is a terrible argument as well.
Yes SOME people will still buy items for real money, but with the RMAH, the amount of people that buy items will probably be 5-10x more. The RMAH is a cop-out by Blizzard. They would rather fold to the hackers/modders/grinders/farmers/Asians/botters pressure and just "drown them out" with the RMAH (which it won't work, there will still be sites that sell items online), instead of attacking the problem head on, by getting rid of them all together. Start tracking and blocking IP address, start sending law enforcement to people houses that scam and break the law, start suing people that blatantly hack the game.

Helps finding the shapes 10x faster. Just turn it on and move your mouse around the picture quickly.

Make it 3.X OS compatible please.

If they won how come I'm not scared of them? Ehhh... cuz they didn't win. I still believe in America thank you.

It will probably be the Wizard or Witch Doctor.

I would have been fine, ecstatic, if it were just a normal in-game gold based AH. But like the OP said, Blizzard "legalizing" the ability to spend cash for items... that's a deal breaker. Sorry, but I just may not play the game for this very one reason. QQ and tell me to get over it, I don't care. You are the ones that will end up spending money on virtual items, and I'll be the one LOL'ing at you in the end.

Blizzard is putting in the Real Money Auction House "because people want it"

However, I would bet that more people wanted/used Map Hacks and Auto-Tele than to bought stuff from item stores, so why aren't they putting those in to?

eh... the Poll is asking YOU what YOU think the cooldowns should be... not what you think Blizzard thinks; we already know they think 2 minutes is best.

@Don
I'm assuming you've chosen that title and opening line for its shocking value and not much else.
Otherwise nothing of what you said makes much sense. It's not like they were playing a match and you get to blow the final whistle at the end of 10 years to proclaim a winner.

The reasons for going into Iraq turned out to be complete bogus but once they were there, they couldn't just bail out since they literally had the responsibility to make that place a stable one, lest it becomes another festering breeding hole for scum (aka terrorists).
About those thinking 9/11 was an inside job, I just feel sad for them. Seriously. If despite the overwhelming evidence available, they persist in cherishing conspiracy theories,I'm inclined to think it's just another fad. A way to lose time and hate the world for not having what you think you deserve or what you think it owes you.

Terrorists made their mark though. How the world reacts and cope will be a much longer struggle than a mere 10 years I feel.

Bullet summary for those who don't like to read.

1. No binding means artisans make goods for you whole account+friends anyway
2. Clvl equip restrictions prevent progression shortcuts
3. No binding+shared stash also mean players are going to only have 1 main "artisan character" anyway
4. Eliminates time spent character switching which brakes immersion and is not fun

Artisans are a great addition to the world of sanctuary, because in stead of forcing characters to spend game time beating an anvil they encourage players to get out there and kill stuff while there artisans beat that anvil for them. And killing stuff is what most people want to do when they log into a Diablo game.

Thanks to Diablo 3s complete omission of any gear binding system, artisans allow us to create gear for not only ourselves but our alts and our friends as well! Which I feel deeply strengthens the co-op experience. This WOULD however be a way of overly twinking and braking the power progression of continuously "gearing" as you level up IF it were not for the character level requirements on each piece of gear preventing its use by characters of lower than intended level.

This Clvl equip restriction still allows you to get a pretty nice piece of gear for your level e.g. if you just barely met the requirement of an item your friend/main gave you. But prevents you from elevating yourself to god status by using the crafting system to shortcut progression.

Granted, it does feel a little odd to have your lvl60 artisan appear in the caravan of your lvl6 noobie character. But I feel that by the time one has one of there artisans that high in level you won't much care anymore because you will have beaten the game several times.

Also, it seems rather illogical that you would simply assume that everyone in the world of Sanctuary is only as progressed as you are. Its equally an absurd notion to think that everyone in the world just magically becomes better the instant you level up as it is to think that when you walk into a town every person should be raggedy and bland, just starting out in there careers, simply because you are low level.

The bottom line is that with no binding system in place, people are going to have one main "artisan character" anyway. And simply transfer all of there materials and recipes to that one artisan simply because it would be to much of a hassle to try and remember which of your characters artisans has that one sweet recipe.

And there in no point in spending effort leveling multiple artisans if you can just trade the goods from one character to another and one artisan can be a master of everything. This is Especially true because of the new shared stash. Which is another feature that likewise simplifies a process players were going use anyway and allows you to do it in game, without all the nonsense of repeated character swapping.



I think I addressed most of the major pros and cons. Anything I missed? Thoughts? Discussion?

3. Family Guy (pretty self explanitory)
4. Nashville (western wanted poster writing)
5. Nemesis (a cool font)



just download and unzip, then place the font in your fonts folder
