ya its cool the first few times through, but for many the dissapointment starts to set in around Act I Inferno. Maybe its too much grind, maybe its too much AH/RMAH, but if public games is any indication ... there has been a signifigant drop off in players.
If your telling me that I need to login and clear Act I everynight for 3 weeks to buy upgrades in the AH. Especially considering I am only farming Act I so I can farm Act II, so I can farm Act III, so i can farm Act IV. Meanwhile Bliz is rendering the upgrade you bought for 3million gold worthless, meaning the 2 weeks you farmed are now down the drain, and all the gold drops are being nerfed so you have to farm even longer ... ya ... well ... NO it doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun. and it doesn't sound like an excellent game.
We could add 639 more levels and you can do that instead, happy?

It's funny because if grifts never existed this wouldn't even be a topic. Give people something to epeen about in ARPG and you get more crying, go figure. I would bring up how this game is many times better than D2 but people will just say that game is too old to compare to so I'll leave it at that.

Yes vanilla was pretty shitty. We paid extra for RoS to basically get what we should have had in the first place. The cube was the final piece, now its some tweaking and TBH I don't expect much more from this point on unless we get an expansion.
As mentioned earlier companies exist to make profit, all I'm saying is there are MANY other companies that put even less effort than Blizzard in their products (EA is an obvious target). I can't think of any games that Blizzard left unfinished and was just complete utter crap (Well maybe D1 since a 3rd party actually did the expansion which improved a few things).
Please stop the butthurt that a successful video game company makes money because they tend to deliver good games (even if it takes years and many patches its better than never). I think your mod editing should apply to this post because all you say is I hate companies who make money. I'm actually going to report your post based on your stupidity idea... gotta call them when I see them,
If you really want to make this an actual non mod editing post idea maybe speak about how RANDOM dungeon hack n slash doesn't fit well with competitive play since RNG plays a role in maps, monsters, and density etc... Since there is no PvP (this is really the only thing missing from D3) and botting/grinding has always been the way to go in any Blizzard game there really isn't much more to address from a competitive stand point.

Be nice if you could add a comment section. I have an assumption where you are going with your topic, but I'd like to note that I drink caffeinated beverages for more than the physical/chemical "dependency". In my culture there is a large social interaction tied to having coffee with friends or co-workers.
Good luck on the paper

You might not know this but most companies make you pay a one time fee and don't bother providing any patches. If they do they barely fix any of the issues and generally rely on the community of gamers to make addons etc... to improve the game.
Unless your making subscription payments there isn't a reason to expect more than what is initially offered.

Nether Tentacle is probably the only way to make this type of build more tanky but the damage out put would be terrible.

Thats how it is, first come first serve. If you played this game from the start you get some sort of minor rewards over others and I think that's fair.

it was just a question as I haven't done any grifts yet nor did I play PTR. Thanks for the heads up.

atm its seems T7-9 drops all the same cache mats. I haven't done a 10 yet but speed farming T7 seems the most efficient to getting cache mats.

is there less elite/champion groups in grifts now too? The furnace would help with clearing these mobs as well.

Me too actually. I tried various MS builds, Chakaram builds, Bolo Shot builds, and CA builds. Once I got a Kindershot and was able to do an Ice build I just started wrecking things. I think one of the things I like most about the changes is that it's okay to have other skills on the bar now. I can actually use vengence and not have it be a bad thing. It's pretty awesome to have five turrets down, pop pet, pop vengence and just watch Elite groups melt. very happy with the changes.
Yah I still haven't found one but using a cold rocket build and increased my Grift level by 6 using the same gear. It's fun using vengeance again.
EDIT: messed up my quoting... oh well

The gobs are awesome and ancient items are a nice extra grinding layer. Grifting is much better than before, and channel pylons (at least for Dh) are the new conduit pylon. Overall happy with the changes, I haven't messed around with the other classes yet.
