That's all you got out of his post was possible trolling? To be honest, aside from the justifiable quip his post clarified my points which a lot of those responses seemed to miss. There was no mention of changing the Mempo to dropping with cc. That point was mentioned by someone else and people ran with it. Read what he wrote again because if I try to reiterate my original post it'd come out basically what Ashy Larry said.
If every echoing fury and mempo that dropped was extremely inherently useful than they'd probably instantly all become worthless because there would be a huge abundance of useful items and no bad ones to mirror them to.
Right, the higher rolled items would spoil whats already out there if they had em drop with the same chance. Im saying let 80% of legendary drops be brimstone in the first place, so you dont get excited until you actually see a legendary. Making them marginally more useful and having them drop 20% of the time that they drop now would make legendary drops actually exciting. Read - less items on the auction house with less mess and clutter.
Im not saying make all mempos drop with CC, that's ridiculous. The highly rolled ones would still be as rare, but the range of usability of the rest would be better.
As far as the paragon level bonuses, i dont think that would be "overpowered" at all, after all you've spent the thousands of hours playing the game, you should be able to get something in return. Not a high amount of legendary drops that never live up to their names. You could make those two bonuses solo play only, with it not effecting MF, GF, EXP. Only ones equiped items would add benefits of that.
I just wanted to toss a couple things out there, FWIW.
Paragon levels
I believe there should be some kind of bonus for reaching level 100 other than maximum stats and magic find. And of course the portrait!
If theyre going to be coming out with an expansion for the game, which im almost 100% sure they would be?, Make a new level cap at 150 and keep the experience progression the same. BUT, lets throw in a couple bonuses for level 100 paragon and level 150 paragon.
Level 100 bonus - You can hire 2 followers. Magic find caps still apply. Only useful for solo play but can get, say, 3% IAS from enchantress and 3% crit bonus from the scoundrel. You can even have a bit of dialogue exchange between them during gameplay. EDITED INFO
Level 150 paragon - access to 4 passives.
Legendaries
As many people have stated on the boards with references to diablo 2 - this is Diablo 3...They want it to be different, we want it to be different and all that. I feel as if the legendary reference to Diablo 2 matters here because they were indeed useful, no matter which ones you found, some were better than others but the legendary items were legendary. I would suggest slimming up the range of damage and magic properties rolls.
Example - Tal Rasha's Guise of Wisdom.There's no need for 90-100 int roll. A level 63 helmet should just roll with 170-200.This would make more Tal's Guise useful, instead of just brimstome.
- Echoing Fury - DPS range. whoa... 687.5–1323.6. what is this? Again, level 62 item here. Not a level 56. Make the damage range 900-1323. This would make more echoing furies useful, instead of just brimstome.
Having said that, I am also suggesting making the legendaries drop less, but have a certain chance to just give me brimstone. 80/20 brimstone/legendary. I would rather find 1-3 usable to great legendaries a month instead of 15 brimstone and 1 almost sellable legendary.

Sup with no voice chat in game? Anyone else feel like we could get some microphone action like in starcraft 2?
