For now? What do you think your long term drive to farm gear will be if the game is this easy and they make it rain legendaries?

The same reason loot running in D2 was fun, you'll see a shit load of uniques, which can be useful on other characters, friends, or to trade (maybe not so much on console in that aspect), but its the legitimately GOOD uniques that drop that make you keep wanting to get more.

I guess the lack of the AH will make up for the abundance of drops. Is there even trading channels like D2?

That, I don't believe there is. The games themselves have voice enabled chat, but the lack of ability to type would make that painful.. and chat channels with a dozen+ people talking on headsets would be incredibly obnoxious.

I think the only efficient way of trading stuff, would be to use D2JSP or something like that, then meet up directly in game unfortunately. Or perhaps battle.net forums have its own console trading sub forum.. I haven't checked. Either way that aspect is a little shitty.. and should have been looked at a little better, like adding its own little "network setting" like "Monster Slaying" / Dualing, just add the ability to open a trade room or something? I don't know heh.

Then again I find D3s overall trading scene pretty shitty compared to the old days of D2 anyway lol

There's 2 major problems I hope they address that will go a long way in making the game more fun.

First is changing, buffing, or making undesirable affixes actually something a person would use. It's cool that they are adding the mystic to let you reroll crappy affixes, but why not make the affixes, you know, not crappy in the first place? There's a thread on the main forums where people have ideas on how to buff thorns, health globe stuff, life after kill etc. Let's not forget the useless 1% chance to do something shit. Buff it to 25% and then maybe you have something someone would care about. If everyone is just going to go for attack speed, crit damage, crit %, resist all, and main stat, they haven't fixed anything and it's rather boring. Even making weapon elemental damage actually do something besides adding +damage to a weapon would kick ass.

This one I'm not sure sure they can even fix at this stage because it's so ingrained in the system, but all skill damage being tied to your weapon damage limits your weapon choices greatly. If you get a 2 hander that isn't a skorn, it's automatic vendor trash at the moment. I'm not really sure how they fix it since skills don't have levels in this game.

The first one is pretty easy to fix with some brainstorming and proper testing, the second one I'm not so sure. Hopefully they realize the problem and are doing something about it in some way. The new game director actually seems to "get it" on how to try to fix the game so we shall see. Jay Wilson was clueless. It's just a bummer the expansion and patch are so far off.

The importance of weapon damage is not why Skorn is so ubiquitous. It's that 5 out of it's 6 affixes are awesome. Thus almost all Skorns are great and thanks to the AH, really cheap. You CAN top Skorn, as seen here:

I'm not sure you can roll a better xbow than Manticore.

No matter how close they get affixes to be, and how fun or interesting they make them, people will always disgrard inferior stats as "garbage" and "worthless", even if there is only a 5% output difference. Just look at WoW forums, any class or spec that is even a little behind is deemed as broken and unplayable, when in reality the only places those class spec combos don't work is if you're in a top 20 guild racing for world placement. Not saying they shouldn't try to improve the system, it can most definitely be better. But I guarantee that no matter how close they're able to tune different affixes there are going to be the well known streamers and theory crafters coming out and showing everyone how such and such stats are a few % better than everything else, so the rest should be tossed in the garbagee and aren't worth having. And the community will eat it up and agree without actually doing any thinking and this aspect of the game will be criticized in exactly the same way as it is now.

The itemization gets a little crazy in the late 40s... by the end of Act 2 Nightmare I was 45, where i started getting gear with like 150-250 Dex/vit on my monk haha

Well I picked this up for the ps3. Haven't played diablo since the first one came out. Made a witch doctor, i honestly dont know if this is a good class or not but seems pretty decent. Enjoying slowing groups of mobs and raping. Level 10 so far, must say its the most fun i've had with an rpg since I quit wow back @ AQ xpac. Though I do suppose that Ill end up missing the social aspects.

The surround on it kicks ass too

The first fix for the pc version is to remove completely the shitty AH. That is what completely fucked the game in the first place and nothing will fix it until that is gone.

If you think the AH is the main problem with the game and that removal would be a step towards fixing it then you have no actual idea of what the problems with the game really are.
