the torment only legendaries are only the new class specific pieces from my experience including recent experience. I have gotten set items from kadala. she must be bugged or they haven't moved the old set items to torment only because i have also got multiple set items on lower difficulties.
Edit: nevermind the set items that kadala gave me were not on that list. My bad.
I noticed that certain runes on skills are confusing. The tooltip text does not clarify if the rune adds a certain elemental damage to the skill but the banner backdrop behind the rune indicates a certain elemental damage type such as ricochet on impale for demon hunters. The tooltip essentially just says it goes through multiple enemies and nothing about lightning damage but the banner indicates it does lightning damage. So my main question is if the tool tip does not indicate the elemental damage type does the skill do the normal damage type or does it do the elemental damage type that the banner backdrop indicate?
The "random" loot is what you get when you play the game, and "random" it should be at the vendor/trading market. Have you ever played D1? It was actually very much random, and a small chance to have the BiS items showing up at the vendor, and it was awesome. Have you ever played D2? Gheed was the definition of randomness with his gambling shop. And again, it was awesome and worked for many people.
Now those who really rather play the market than the game can create their sub-community, and to be honest, high-end gamers have already done that since the AH didn't offer any upgrades for them. So D2JSP will be it for you.
Yes I played D1 and D2, 20 and 15 years ago. And that's exactly how they feel, outdated.
Gheed was indeed very random, and that is also why people didnt gamble unless they had way too much gold. Most people farmed bosses, where drops were kinda guaranteed. Gheed was only the gold sink once you hit the cap on your stash and your chars.
I did trade a lot in d2 in forums and stuff, but it is exactly what you always say, its playing the trade platforms instead of playing the game. With the ingame AH you actually had more time to play the game than before. But you dont seem to get that.
I was very happy that i did not have to go to d2jsp any more in D3. It's way too much hassle. I dont wanna do it again, i did it for like 10 years in d2. I will rather quit than go back to a 15 years old trade method.
But as you said, that's just me. People who didnt experience all this shit 10 - 15 years ago may still look forward to this.
Dont trade then. No one is forcing you to trade. It boils down to blizzard wants people to play the game and not the market. With the AH up people will be more inclined to play the market instead of the game.
The current problem with the game is that you don't have to actually play the game at all to get the best loot in the game here is how it works:
1. buy game
2. buy 2 billion gold
3. buy 20 billion gold item off auction house for 2 billion gold.
4. sell item for 20 billion gold.
5. rinse repeat.
no need to play the game at all to get the items you want for a lvl 60 character. oh wait you haven't played 1 second of the game no problem. get someone to power level you for some arbitrary amount of gold and you don't care because you can just flip items all day and never actually have to farm to get the things you need. They might as well have made a game of just the auction house and nothing else.
There is an obvious problem with that considering that the D3 team actually wanted people to primarily play their game and use the auction house at their leisure not primarily play the auction house and play the game at their leisure.
