Item is on a 24 hour lock timer and cannot be sold yet

Soo seems like we are earning XP once again to gain Paragon Levels which increases MF and GF. Interesting approach to the missing "endgame". And I don't think they will implement that AND the guaranteed Legendaries.

2 minutes to wait for magic find to work on an item? Sounds like a pretty harsh punishment for those of us who are playing by the rules.

So you get a level of excellence 'stack' which does nothing until you hit the 500th stack, where you get a Legendary? Sounds stupid.

This Legendary is BindOnEquip, so now while a certain amount of farming gurantees everyone a legendary drop, you need to make a choice - use it/save it for alt OR put it on AH/Trade. Cant use and pass on. This will provide the much needed item sink, else a guranteed Legendary drop will eventually flood the economy.

This isn't WoW. Sounds stupid and overly complex by Blizzard standards.

If Blizzard ever implements a "Bind on Equip" mechanism for items, I quit.

I originally made this post. I want to refute 2 allegations against me:

1. People saying 'account bound' items are not part of Diablo or that this mechanic doesnt exist - youre wrong - Staff of Herding and all of its components are Bind on Account.
2. People saying, its me perpetuating a lie, based on a month old post where i gave an 'idea' of BoE Legendaries. Sorry, but hate to burst your bubble, BoE legendary/rare isnt a new concept. Its existed far before Beta. Further, the entire point of this system is the Levels of Excellence. Which has nothing to do with what i had posted. i WISH i had predicted it, but sadly, no, take off your tinHat.

Finally, i started my original post with the disclaimer, very clearly, that this is as per my 'insider'. As with most such things, youve got to take it with a BUCKET of salt. But a) He is an Insider, i know him IRL and i know he works at Blizz Im sure they might tweak the specific numbers, but i believe him and know for sure that this will be NEW CORE farming mechanic.
I believe him, you dont have to - most importantly, even if hes lying, i WANT to believe him, becase these changes would make the game FRAKIN AWESOME

I completely bought in to the WD leak last week (VQ nerf when everyone assumed WD would get no nerfs), because it just made too much sense. How do you fix a passive that was 1) forcing people to arbitrarily use 4 skills just to trigger the passive, and 2) allowing WDs to spam high mana attacks infinitely? You obviously 1) have the passive trigger from something OTHER than having the cool downs, and 2) decrease the mana regen to get rid of the spam. When the leak came out saying EXACTLY that was the fix, that made way too much sense to me to be wrong.
Similarly, I'm buying the leaks above because they make soooo much sense.
The obvious fix for MF gear swapping is to have MF build over time (like Sharpshooter for Crit chance) so that gear swapping ceases to be an attractive strategy.
The obvious fix for the endgame item hunt was to buff legendaries to make them more desirable (which has already been announced), and to then make legendaries more attainable without flooding the economy. Levels of Excellence + BoE seems like the perfect solution there, and it sounds a lot like something Blizzard has done before (Badges of Justice).

Quote from Ameko

With a lot of people gearing up and starting to use Cluster Arrow with Cluster Bombs as hatred dump, Spray of Bone is the top choice of spammable aoe ability, granted that you have atleast 40%+ crit chance.

Bear with me, I'm a noob. But looking at numbers Bola Shot (with various runes) seems like a better aoe choice to me.
Why is it not the case? Just because of the delay?

I hope Blizzard now realise case-sensitive passwords is a must.

Assuming you have at least a 10-character password, bruteforcing 46^10 (~10^16) or bruteforcing 72^10 (~10^19) different passwords over the internet, with a system that surely throttles or even reject attempts after 1000 wrong tries, is definitely very efficient and the result of all the hackings over the internet.

Zoltun Kulle was only interested in world domination, and played along just long enough to recover his body and the black soulstone. Given that he was the Diablo 3 equivalent of Gollum, I think we're probably making a mountain out of a mole hill here.
