Agreed.
I find it funny that those who are the loudest haven't even played the game.... I played the beta. It definitely didn't convince me to buy the game. If I had, I'd be just another one of those disgruntled D3 owners, hence my happiness that I did not pay $60 to find out it has a lot of problems. I have those who did pay to tell me about the problems. Maybe they'll eventually fix the game. If so, maybe I'll pick it up then.
Another one of those disgruntled? pfft. Out of everyone I know that is playing it (in my friends list or circle). Only RollingThundr is unhappy. That behing said, he is not so unhappy that he has stopped playing - in fact, with several characters started, he is obviously enjoying the game and has gotten his monies worth.....
I have jumped in and out of games and had friends do the same. So...whatevs. We are enjoyign it, and you are bitching about something you don't own. Good for you. |

I feel like a fucking retard for buying it.
Yeah sure coop is fun, but working people aren't often online at the same time.
The story is just plain bad, even Bioware would write a better one.
Then the disconnects, lags etc.
60 Euros wasted. |

Lots of complaints specifically regarding tool-tips not being changed yet. I continue to be surprised by things I see around the internet.
That's a big deal. First, because it's confusing. Second, because if ArenaNet updates tooltips every time a skill changes, then Blizzard should be able to do the same.
I know what you're doing. I will not be shocked again by this. The lunacy has already set in. |

You're making the mistake of thinking people are forced to use the AH... You don't need optimal gear at every moment to get by... People do it, but don't need to... )
Fair enough, but 'min/max' players make up the majority of Action RPG gamers from my experience. People for whom it's about the journey (like myself) tend to be in a distinct minority. From the way I've seen the loot system in D3 described at length by many posters in several different threads it seems like the majority of players would be compelled to use the auction house. Call me a cynic, but given that Blizzard is taking a cut of every transaction, that smells like a design decision, not happenstance.

That doesn't seem to be based in reality at all, most of the complaints in the recent Diablo topics seem to be from game players. Having read the issues that the actual game owners are having I'm glad I didn't buy it. |

Also, the majority of loot dropped in any game ever made that has random loot is, guess what, stuff you won't use... Perhaps this is worse for ARPG's, but D3 has a ton more useful loot dropping than TQ ever did (as a personal perception/observation based comparison). And at least every garbage piece of loot still has a use in D3.
As for there always being awesome stuff on the AH... Do the math? The AH is for the entire Americas (or Asia or Europe - I think those are the groupings) playerbase, so ya, there's going to be a LOT of gear on the AH, and guess what? Most of it you won't use ; )
Not you, you... As this is the only game in the last decade you haven't bought hehe : )

50+ hours, came across 1 set item, early on, was garbage, sold it.
I have almost all 5 characters with about 50% of their gear is rare, and about 20+ extra rare items. Magic stuff is dime a dozen depending on your stats. Gems are what I go for now.
Set items, as they were in Diablo 2, only drop in Inferno difficulty. |

Um, what? We are reading the stories and not liking anything we read. And you have a weird definition of "loudest" when the sum total of both of our posts is 17 words.

But that's my paranoid self speaking. It could be they only want people to group together and encourage trade-looting in the same session.
So....what you are saying is - hurry and go buy good crap for all my toons so I won't need real money for them later!  [I am guilty of buying stuff on TF2. hehehehe] |

We're having some fun with the game, but primarily because we are playing cooperatively. My Barbarian is relatively boring to play whereas her witch doctor is entertaining.

I am definitely getting some enjoyment out of the game, but I think I will be hard pressed to find a reason to play it again.
Not bad, but not great. Too safe in some ways with flawed loot.
