If the console is anything to go by, you wont even need magic find anymore. I have found 20 legendaries and I haven't even hit level 40 yet.
That number is just unbelievable - and I am NOT saying you're making it up. From what I've seen of the console they seem to fall like rain. Gonna miss that little thrill that the "legendary drop sound" used to give - hell it still worked its magic when a keywarden would drop a key.

10% CC is usually around 1/5th (20%)
100% CHD is around 1/4th (25%)
Elemental is probably 20-25% of your Elemental bonus
and the sockets will grant unique abilities which are build changing and can probably never be done without again....
About the only thing mainstat has going for it in the background is the additional defensive capabilities but it represents an even tinier fraction of either Armor or All Resist.
The poll that REALLY needs to be answered is how much would you give up for a new eq slot that could take those sweet sweet legendary gems....

After 2.1 if you found a weapon with a socket you could roll that to something else - THEN use RG to put a socket on it - in essence gaining an extra affix.
How/Why is it necessary to have any changes made?

If the dev team wants to be REALLY generous they could automatically roll CHD, or CC.
/of course with gems we're going to want a socket on that sucker as well.

I've probably got almost 2500 stored of them in my play time - I'm sure there are many people who have multiples of that number. Seems to me they should be used for something.

Looking at some of the datamined info coming out of the PTR I can see how a character which is already T6 capable becoming VERY capable of facerolling T6 - some of the legendary affixes are amazing and having a 5th passive would really incredible (thoughts on what these do to set items is another matter)
I can't help but wonder if T7-T10 are eventual outcomes or if these potential additions to gear/skills are simply what it will take to progress very far in Greater Rifts. I suppose it ammounts to the same thing really but I can see people wanting a bit more challenge out of normal rifts or even (shudder) bountry running/adventure mode.

The game is not being patched in a vacuum where they only "fix" the code for those exploiting bugs. Every change they make ultimately affects every player and we've already been shown that the fixes typically remove something from those playing the game.

I guess I cant complain the rewards for bounties in xp and gold arent bad given some of them take mere moments but there is one thing that strikes me as "why even bother" about the cache rewards:
Why give ONE blood shard?
I mean, the purple text color is pretty to see but one shard seems...insufficient.

There is not enough "THIS" in the world to summarize my agreement that weapons without sockets are useless - it is this ONE area where I think they should make a solid exception to the give and take of affix substitution:
Make it expensive, hell make it 20 FS's +20 million gold, 1 flawless royal gem of each color - I'd have to work a loooong time but at least at the end of the day I'd know that the addition without loss was worth it.

I bought RoS.
Is there anything I should see in game that says "Hey, you bought RoS?"
On Battle.net it says "Download Client" but I assumed that was D3 (which I am already playing way too much). Is there any pre-downloading of the client that can be done or does all that happen in the background? As far as I know I havent activated any kind of code - I just ordered it and payed for it on battle.net but haven't done anything as far as I know, with the actual game.
Basically I need to know if I am so incredibly dense that after paying for it, I am unsure if I should actually have had to do anything else (activate, download etc) I blame STEAM personally - way too easy.

I would expect (although it hasnt been announced) that drop rates will improve somewhat as soon as the auction house dies. Most of the stuff is BoA anyway so I'm not sure why they would wait... but...
Gear progression from 60 to 70 will also hyperinflate the gear stats so much that any non-BOA legacy stuff will be so crappy by comparison its value will drop to near zero.

I seriously doubt they will ever tell us the exact mechanics behind the "safety net" as there are plenty of people who will immediately go looking for a way to abuse it.
