So they balanced the economy and nerfed people going for pure glass canon builds.
I really don't see the issue except for the people who already spent a lot of gold on glass canon builds >_>

Yes, it will be harder to get BiS gear (as much as that is possible within this game), but is that really a bad thing?

And the OP (yes, I know it's from the bnet forums, don't worry) conveniently decided to leave out the part where the chests/pots/weapon rack nerfs were justified because of the stupid concept of swapping all your gear in and out for MF every time you smashed/opened one. Hell, people still do that before bosses/packs die and it's an issue and blizz is looking to fix it. This was just step 1.

Is the game perfect now? No, but it was a step in the right direction, if you like it or not.

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you cannot communicate clearly on a most basic level? Your post is a giant jumble of words and rage.

Wow... I was just gonna post this (+ what is in your post after this) but it seems you beat me to it.

So, pretty much what he said... I just love these people applying their own view of what this game is supposed to be in their eyes and then complain when it isn't And of course nothing is EVER their own fault. Noooo, it's the game, or blizzard, or fanboys!

I think you made a typo when you made this topic, it should read "The reason why I'm mad"

It is funny how insanely ******* majority of posters in this thread are. You guys are all upset because to him Diablo 3 sucks sack and to you it is the only game you could ever witness a "hard" difficulty in a game before.

Starting with a bigoted slur against disable people isn't the way to curry favor. Reported.

Diablo 3 is easy, it is brain dead, and it does not require skill. It is VERY VERY gear dependent, if you don't get super lucky, get fed, spend all day MFing, then you do not progress. Your skill has little to nothing to do with progressing in this game.

There's strategy involved in planning your gearing, selecting your gearing, and having it work with your build. Your gear should work as a cohesive whole, and this take planning.

There's tactics involved with positioning, ability use, managing cooldowns, crowd control, and balancing DPS with damage mitigation and healing.

There's skill involved with appraising your items and other's to make effective trades, and getting the most bang for your buck. Diablo has always been focused on items, and the GAH merely facilitates the important trading element by providing a currency to streamline trading.

The definition of skill is arranging the situation in such a way that you get "lucky" more often. This is mere statistics; you can do a soft version of this via learning and trial and error (figuring the best ways to farm), or supplement this with math (timing runs and figuring rares per hour.) Switching to MF gear before finishing off an opponent involves risk (I have died many times to this, and on some enemies forego it to avoid risk) as well as reward.

The patch, while making the game much easier for me, has freed up a larger range of build considerations; I am in the process of balancing DPS with defense, which takes skill and learning.

Where's this "no skill" now?

Then again, this is Diablofans. The land where all the children who are brainwashed by Blizzard come here. Should of seen it before release haha, oh the stupid bull shit they would say and try and pass off like this game was gonna be the greatest game ever. Funny how many of you pathetic spineless losers vanished or won't even comment on how shitty the mechanics and core game function is when I bring it up to you now where as before you an avid Blizzard fanboy who would die to keep their honor.

...And you finish off with trolling and flaming. Way to make a serious point. Protip: if you don't like it, get out.
