The funny thing is, the professional haters on the official forums have complained so long and so loud about every single detail that they've completely undermined themselves and lost the ability to be taken seriously on anything. Tell me I'm not the only one who reads their posts (when extremely bored) and just sees:
The latest is announcing you can't enchant pre-2.0.1 legendaries because some of them can become overpowered and are actually better than level 70 items. Many of the wallet warriors over there had been hoarding these legendaries for their own use and IMHO a little closer to launch were going to try to sell some of them.
As for the official forums specifically, they are always a cesspool since Blizzard seems to have no interest in getting rid of the malcontents and shit stirrers. Best to just let them all stew in their own bile. Most of them are going to buy RoS anyway.
This is hurting the credit card warriors the most, and anything that hurts the credit card warriors is a grade "A" win in my book. You can see it everywhere this is being discussed, all of the arguments boil down to them being amazingly butthurt that all of their attempts to pay to win are being shot down by Blizzard.
That, and I'm sure more than a few of them were planning to sell some of those OP legacy items closer to RoS release and that was also snatched away from them.
That's not the point. The point is that Blizzard basically acknowledges that legacy items are, or let me rephrase, have the POTENTIAL to be more powerful than the SUPPOSEDLY NEW AND IMPROVED Loot 2.0 items. What does that tell you?
It tells me they made some mistakes in itemization and stat rolling and they are now course correcting to prevent runaway stat inflation. Next question?
ALL YOU P2W GEAR SUCKS DICK NOW IN ROS HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
That really does sum it up.
They were all so trying to beat the system hoarding up that stuff pre-RoS, and with the stroke of a key Blizzard rendered it all useless. The ocean of tears and hate on the official forums feeds my withered black heart and makes me giggle like a school-girl.
Does anyone else truly despise the way of acquiring these things? You are trapped under no less than 5 layers of RNG unless you are overgeared and can farm mp10.
Layers
1-3 Three Key Wardens, will they drop keys?
4 Which portal will open?
5 Will the organs drop?
This is not fun in any sense of the word, this is mindless grinding and tedium. They need to seriously completely redo they way of acquiring them, make it into a quest...or at least not brain dead grinding. I was just reading Nevalistis' post and it looks like the new Hellfire ring is going to be just as much of a grindfest as ever...with even more restrictions thrown on getting it.
Hiding under "it's not for everyone" is Blizzard admitting they can't come up with a fun way to implement HF acquisition method. It's so tedious, I'm sure more than few people just don't do it no matter how nice the ring is for alts.
Obviously will be applied to both. But, Blue has confirmed it.
After the multiple and repeated missteps Blizzard has taken over the last few weeks...I don't think "obviously" is a label that should be applied to any decisions they make.
But anyway, thanks. Had to do some digging in the blue tracker to find it.
Does anyone else read these anti-BOA threads and posts and just hear AH Tycoons desperately trying to find anything to cling to to protect their ability to sell items?

Easily spoofed online polls aren't going to change anything.
