The real issue is this:
Why is doing this more fun, beneficial, and lucrative, than doing a Greater Rift the normal way?
Furthermore, no one is getting banned for this. Unless Blizzard issues in-game warning, players have fair grounds to play within the scope of the game, unaltered.
Blame QA, not the players who are just trying to keep up/compete/find some enjoyment in the grind. Bugs add interesting spikes in an otherwise static experience right now.
I'd also say that we discovered this by accident two days ago due to a failed GR cancellation and did not try to duplicate in days following, sighting that 2 minute GR35 runs were overall more beneficial in terms of primarily exp, but also total Legs + Bloodshards per hour.
What you just spewed is complete bullshit. Blizzards 'warning' is the eula, they don't have to specifically name every single instance of possibilities.
This is supposed to be a 4 month long season and we're less than a week in. There needs to be punishment for this, whether it's a ban or a gear reset as we'll as leader board position wiped. Exploits always get through, but what will make me greatly disappointed in Blizzard is if there's no rectification.

For the love of god give it up. You don't need those goddamned bracers to do well in GRifts. The new WW set is amazing and the Raekor set is still great without some stupid bracers that make the game even more faceroll. Sorry for your loss, FOTM rerollers.
^^^Thank You.
So disappointed that after this excellent patch, all the focus is directly on 1 missing item.

Normal weapons should just have the same damage range as Ancients. Then the only benefit to ancient is stat increases, which are meaningful but not gamebreaking (as with ancient armor pieces).
It would make ancient weapons nice, but not essentially required. It's just the increased damage that makes them that way.

The crafting recipes now require those common junk materials along with the essences, etc. In all of my playtime yesterday, I only saw 2 of those things drop. Do I need to pick up gray crap to salvage?

Quote from VegasRage
I've been playing normal mode most every day for an hour or two, I have not bothered with nightmare mode because the 3 or 4 times I've played it, I have not liked how the glowing mini-bosses you come across in each map are significantly more powerful than the regular enemies you fight.
One minute you are fighting at one pace, the next you are changing tactics entirely to compensate for the drastic change in difficulty, that's not fun to me, it's aggravating.
UPDATE
So just to give nightmare mode another shot after the patch I just played through Leoric's crown with my Demon Hunter. The real test is when I get to the goat men, that seems to be where the mini-bosses start to get there teeth. But even crawling through the crypts the mini bosses required a massive number of shots and I found myself a few times lacking discipline or hatred and found the battles bordering on not being enjoyable.
I added some screen shots of the ones that chased me around until I shot them 150 fricken laughable times before they finally went down. Diablo 2 was never like that in nightmare mode, the mini-bosses were more difficult as they should be, but not to the point where you had to wail on them for a full minute before they went down. I just don't find that kind of game play to be enjoyable, it reminds me of 80's arcade games where you are just shooting for a high score.

I don't have time to rebuttal more posts, but what positive can you think of by this system?

That xbow + that quiver... my mind is blown. I want them so bad... I hope I can afford something like that.

To be competitive vs. other cheaters, haha. That is a glorious response. Telling people to stop being a douche while being a douche is a nice touch too.

I think this will be the winning combo regarding gear, but I don't think I'll be using EP at all. I love the spirit rune from it, but I think I'll use a defensive ability in its place. Punch stuff, be mindful of your DS charges, and stuff dies soon after. I'm still tossing up the ideas of using an Inna's daibo to get the 4pc bonus with a RoRG, or a FD/Furnace with F+R.
I loved my Sunwuko set, but the new Rainment's is some of the most fun I've ever had in a Diablo game.

You must be kidding. But then again, your last statement is beyond hilarious, so maybe that's what you actually think and are not joking. Your comparison to the bracers vs. the updated Nat set has absolutely nothing in common. As if the updated IK set, Raekor set, and Wastes set offer nothing to boost your char, right? DH's don't need armor sets or set bonuses! Don't give them survival bonuses, because it's too much fun dying in 1-hit to a jailer effect!
If Blizzard made bracers for other classes that gave every rune of their most powerful cooldown, and not for Barbs, maybe you'd understand. If you have played Barb for as long as you have claimed, I figured you'd understand the overpowered synergy of the bracers more than it just being "a little op."
Fact of the matter is that people want the easiest mode and least path of resistance. Those bracers gave you that...on the PTR. It's getting really annoying that the bnet whining is trickling here more and more.

I'm in it for the long haul, so the patch does not bother me. I really loved how M6 DH's mimicked a D2 Trapsin with their sentries before, but the change seems even more overpowered on top of making you actually attack now.

What more do you want?
You don't need to play 14 hours a day to make grouping worthwhile. I jump into agame with friends, play for an hour, go to bed. I get replaced as quickly as I jumped in and things carry on. Stop worrying about other people and play the game for your own enjoyment. I accept that I'll never catch up to Morikiopa, Modz, etc in Paragon levels or possibly even their gear levels because of their lifestyle/playstyle. Oh boo hoo, life goes on, but I'm still enjoying the time I have in-game.

Overall, the gameplay feels different, but I greatly enjoy it. I appreciate the assets loading faster, so I'm not dying from my PC freezing up as it loads everything for the first time. I like the darker feel, paragon 2.0, and pretty much everything else that has been delivered to us. My least favorite thing about yesterday is the spectral hound vanity thing. It just seems out of place.
