If I never had to go to AH again, this game would improve 100-fold. When it was originally described, AH was supposed to just be a way to facilitate trading in a known-safe environment. Instead, somehow AH has become the raison d'etre of the whole game. Instead of being happy we can find more drops as we farm, we have people wringing their hands over what effect that will have on AH . . . how broken is that?
I fought AH when the game first came out -- worked my way all the way through the end of Act I Inferno without 1 AH buy til I hit a brick wall at the beginning of Act II. I quickly realized the game required AH and went with it -- have even been very successful with it but it still just feels like something I live with, not something I'm happy about. Quite honestly, if AH economics take it in the pants due to this change, I could give a rats ass. The more the game moves toward us farming our own gear in a self-sufficient manner, the better as far as I'm concerned.
Look, a non-elitist player that doesn't mind that we will be able to find our own gear and be happy about it, instead of complaining about how everyone will be able to farm them and they won't be able to make 150 mil gold from the legendary only they have time/mf to farm for.
+1 to you sir. Very well said, specially the bolded part there. The more we move away from it the better, and the majority of the playerbase probably agrees with that.
With that said, it's too bad that even if the drop rates were multiplied by 4 or 5, it wouldn't matter a lot. Finding a whole set of item sor all the legendaries you want without resorting to the AH is a utopia.
Hardcore elitist-type gamers probably won't like this.
You'll definitely see tons of threads on the official forums with ignorant comments like "eff you Blizz, now everyone gets whatever they want and the set that I dropped isn't worth 200 mil, it's worth 5 mil - game's so easy even my grandma can play it".
For everyone else? That's fucking amazing hopefully doubling it actually means something and I'll start seeing some legendaries/sets (and plans) on my own, without resorting to the AH. Worst case scenario it's not a noticeable change and they'll have to double it another 2-3 times for us to notice
