I would not spend a whole lot on RMAH right now for a lot of reasons. You said its a set item. In 1.1, they are patching all legendaries including sets, and teh changes do not effect existing items, so any legendary purchased now will be one of the weakest of its kind in a few weeks.
Plus, the economy is new, and the number of people sucessfully farming act 2-4 areas are low. As they get time to farm more items, and more people become able to farm, items will become more readily available and prices will drop.
Also, after this patch, high ilvl items can fall in act 1 and even late hell locations. That's going to open high level item farming to more people too.
This game is early in its lifecycle, and the economy is new. Buying high priced items is a very bad idea right now, and buyers excepting those prices make it possible for sellers to continue charging those prices. Wish people would realize that the game's longevity is limited, that games systems are new, and changes will probably effect gearing decisions for several months, that the available item pool is growing, and stop accepting these prices.
I viable high end item should be 10$ or so, and a near perfect one should be worth something like 30$. Stop saying yes to overpriced sellers.
Your right. And I agree with people saying yea it probably was not a good choice. It was a poor impulsive buy. For those who do not understand (and it is clear that there are many) the reasoning behind buying an item at such a high price, it is to be able to make that money back in the future. Being able to farm act 3-4 puts you at a great advantage. More chance to get better gear means sooner or later those % should show. The purchase was an investment in the game with high hopes that I could make it back.
But...you still can farm those acts so...what's the issue? Truth be told you could have spent much less and accomplished the same thing, especially after the patch today. Good investors make sure to do their due diligence and market analysis research before investing. All things considered I would say this was a poor investment by a bad investor. Such is life though.
No, I honestly don't think you got it. I tried to troll you - But you somehow disproved my point - So now i must go at it again - Because i failed the first time.
If you can honestly say you think this is a quality game for the year that we live in, you are delusional.
Forgive me for expressing an opinion I feel I have a right to, not only as a consumer but a long time Blizz gamer.
Am I the only one who finds those two sentences back to back amazingly hypocritical? In one sentence you generalize all people who disagree with you by saying if you like D3 you are "delusional" and in the second sentence you attempt to garner sympathy for your opinion by being insincerely apologetic about your opinion. You aren't sorry you think the game is crap. If you are genuinely sorry about anything it's that people don't mindlessly pander to your specific point of view. You don't like something while other people do. Except your opinion is "right" and deserves to be heard while anyone who disagrees is "delusional" Well played, Troll. Well played.
I didn't state that if you liked the game you are delusional. I said if you think this is a quality game, considering Blizz track record, the time they had for development, the resources in man-power, $$ and blueprints from other successful games, then you are delusional. Hope that clarifies.
Also, if you understand that it's a personal opinion there is no need to get so bent out of shape.
Right, I do understand it's a matter of personal opinion. It certainly would not be considered factual for one person to say that they think a game is quality. So to clarify what you said, twice now, if a person has an opinion about the game other than what you believe, they are delusional.
Got it. Thanks for clarifying kiddo
No, I honestly don't think you got it. If their opinion is specifically about the quality of the game and that it is up to Blizz standards then they are delusional. What's so hard to understand?
The fact that you are now trying to qualify your statement in an attempt to change it's context notwithstanding, you are still saying the exact same thing I have pointed out thrice now. Let's make this stupidly simple. I, Mutilate24 think that this is a quality game. By any standards; Blizzard, day and age, it being a Tuesday, etc. You, HSdaGosu, disagree with that opinion and in doing so would call me delusional. So, by the power of the transverse property, Grayskull, and what has been vested in me by the state in which I live, you are still saying that anyone who disagrees with you is delusional!
Not really sure how else I can explain it. Enough derail though. Let's let this thread get back on topic.
Existing Legendary items will be addressed in future patch.
They fixed NEW items, not the ones we have already. Good work on the reading.
Which means i don't have any understanding of time.
Derp?
I take back the question mark, you're pretty thick. A "future patch" means nothing, that could be in 6 months. They said the bugged items would be fixed in this patch and they lied, nowhere did they say the fix wouldn't be retroactive until today. This issue could have been hotfixed weeks ago.
One of Blizzard's biggest fault's is that they often over communicate. They talk about thing's before they have had a chance to fully understand the scope or impact. I would imagine it's a way to deal with the mostly craptastic vocal community. Regardless though, they open mouth and insert foot all the time. They tell us things will happen then realize there is a technical limitation or other issue and then things don't happen. Shame on them for continuing this trend but equally shame on everyone who keeps being surprised, angry, disappointed when it continues to happen.
If you can honestly say you think this is a quality game for the year that we live in, you are delusional.

Beta testers? Probably not as many as you might thing. Being only locked into the first part of Act I combined with the fact that Blizz was making changes to skills, drops, and everything else on a fairly regular basis does not lend itself to discovering exploits very well. Now internal testers may very well have found things but if they didn't tell shame on them. It is their job after all. Because everyone does everything they are supposed to do at their job all the time....right?
All this talk of D2 reminds me of a line from a song by a band I am very fond of . "There's no such thing as the good old days. The older we all get the better we all were". That right there is the simple truth of things. Memories are like the telephone game, which I am choosing to assume everyone is familiar with. The more people and time added to the chain the more the message becomes skewed. The skewing then becomes amplified on the internet where anonymity + ego is the formula one uses to extract boastful drivel.
It's not an apples to apples comparison though. You are playing the game as an end user playing a "finished product" Testers, meaning internal testers are playing through certain sections looking for specific things. Honestly any form of Beta testing where the general public is utilized to test the game is nothing more than a glorified product demo. It's marketing plain and simple. Out of the thousands(?) of people invited into the Beta how many of those people gave feedback? Lets not even talk about good constructive feedback. Let's set the bar as low as it will go. To many people, I would even dare say most, beta invites are a chance to play a game for free. All of that being said I am sure they had internal testers playing through the whole game, but I am sure it wasn't the same as what you and I experience. Plus the lack of an AH made it hard to determine drop rates in terms of progression and difficulty. Hindsight is always 20/20 though, right?
think they'll change the loot system or somethin with the loot anyway
cuz one thing i can agree with is something a guy linked me the other day here, he said something like :
" i didnt buy AH: The Game, i Bought Diablo 3"
which is so true,considering u gota farm money to buy stuff on AH to be able to progress right now because nothing good ever drops,
at least for me,this is the situation i am in, farming act1 inferno butcher until i get good loot to sell on Ah so i can get more money and buy expensive items so i can progress, because it simply drops nothing in Act 1 that are usefull for me as of now....
It's not required and continuing to say something completely untrue does not make it true. The problem is that people are inherently lazy. That is the real truth. They will always take the path of least resistance when it comes to just about anything. If there was no AH and you didn't have the option to simply go buy upgrades what would you do? Laziness is the reason D2 ended up being modded and duped to death. Laziness is the reason sites like d2jsp exist. It's the reason gold sellers spam you, hack your accounts and it's the reason the vocal community is so split about this game. If you really want to start pointing fingers and placing blame, blame the community not the developer. By your very words you are admitting that you are lazy. To paraphrase "loot is not dropping fast enough so I 'have' to buy gear to progress." Except you don't and if it takes 3 months to get enough gear via RNG to proceed then so be it. If that's not fun for you, that's ok too. You need to do what is fun for you and if that means shelve Diablo III so be it.
