The people with crap gear fail at trading and most likely failed in d2 as well (if they even played it). They're just upset others are better than them at this aspect so they want it removed.

I also love the rest of the replies talking about inflation and whatnot without any clue about how economy works in this game. You'll still be mediocre even after the AH removal. Difference is, the ones who will p2w will be at a way higher level than you without the legit and simple trading market that was the AH. You'll still be crying rivers of tears of how that guy has godly gear and you're stuck in brimstones.
You do realize there are people with different mindsets, do you? You seem to be so concerned about taking the high ground that you forget about all the people who never traded in D2 because they were happy with being mediocre. If you don't trade, you don't even know if you're mediocre, or have crap gear, or BiS items. You can't be upset about others if you don't care about others.
I know I should listen to Xpire and ignore you but I just can't. In fact, I wrote up my opinion why I think the removal of the AH is the best move Blizzard could've made ever, but it seems people like you can't be arsed to read that much text - understandably. Oh and btw, here are some reasons why DFans users are happy about the AH removal. Look beyond your nose and at least try to understand others before you judge them.

Check out his first video to see his progression and tips. His second video is already up as well.

I like your list. Not sarcasm.

I will be using frenzy on a bunch of enemies and quickly spam furious charge because I am about to die. The ability will not go off when I know I cast it in plenty of time and I will die.

What I don't understand is why INFERNO is dropping ilvl 51-59 items. I'd rather have LESS items drop off of champions that are of greater ilvl. For the sake of legendaries with ilvl 58-59, bump them up to ilvl 60 so they are viable in endgame (or have some sort of special code that allows lower level legendaries to still drop - I don't know programming, maybe this isn't possible).
A1 - mostly ilvl 60 items with incremental chance for ilvl 61, 62, 63
A2 - mostly ilvl 60, 61 items with incremental chance for ilvl 62, 63
A3/4 - mostly ilvl 60, 61, 62 items with incremental chance for ilvl 63
Incremental chance being the 2/4/8% that blizzard has recently implemented.
THAT is how I envision inferno drops should be... or something close at least. None of this sub-60 garbage
Add your 2c. I'm really interested to see what people think - would this cause unintended consequences that might ruin the economy? How might this change influence the game for the better or worse?
Edit: Here is another option, still including ilvl 55-59 items

Then I was like... "ohhhhhhhhh"

The barbarian in that video was constantly mashing his revenge button and constantly going below 20% hp. I don't call that survivability. Had one of those revenges not gone off, he would have been done.

Personally stats and items don't upset me. They have nothing to do with the plot of the story. I won't even look at the achievements until I have experienced the game.
But imagine you have a favorite book series. And the third and final book is about to be released. And some dipshit got it earlier than you and tells you everything that happens in the book JUST to be a dick. I'd be pretty pissed. And I will be pissed if I hear any factual statements about D3 plot. I've heard this and that speculation over time, but I REALLY don't want to know hard cold facts until I have beaten normal playthrough myself. IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS IN THE MAKING!!!
I probably won't be on these forums until Wednesday starting now. Going to use my time for other things until then. I recommend others do the same if you don't want to be spoiled. It will be tough, but to take a few days off to avoid spoilers and be able to fully enjoy the story of a life time is worth it for me.
