Of course opinions are not unanimous. But I definitely think RMAH/AH distorted the game more, and was harder to ignore, for people who hated it. Hate seasons? Don't play season. End of story. Your non-seasonal game is completely untouched.
There was no "non-AH" mode you could play if you hated the way it distorted the game.
you literally had to press a button to get to ah or rmah. if you didnt want to, you didnt have to click that button. people felt compelled to ah to be competitive.
Exactly. You could not play a multiplayer game without it being distorted by the AH. If you only ever want to play solo, then you could ignore the AH if you wanted to. Then you only collided with the fact that the difficulty and loot drops had been tuned around the assumption of AH usage.
negasaurus rex. you can easily play a multiplayer game with people who hate ah and refuse to use it which should not be very difficult since apparently you all claim EVERRRRYONEEEEEEEEEEE hated it. i dont know what collided with the fact means, but loot drops were tuned around a ten year idealogoy. ah was PART of that not the source. the problem is their ten year ridiculousness. stuff that contributed to the ROOT problem include but arent limited to ah, lack of "smart" loot, bad legendaries with no abilities worth their legendary status, and bad item design (requiring socket on weapon or its trash). they, along with the general public, threw ah under the bus as a scapegoat then slowly started to fix their other problems. HOWEVER, imagine the game NOW with AH. you can find your own gear relatively well, but all the less-than-perfect items you find can be sold (assuming gold is not as easy to come by as it is now because gold is straight up worthless at this point with no sink) to possibly add up to something usable instead of 100+ souls.
1. I never claimed that everyone hated the AH. I claimed that for those people who did hate it, it was hard to avoid.
2. Play a multiplayer game with people who feel the same way? So, you mean, abandon any possibility of joining a random game, only being able to play multiplayer with like-minded friends / clanmates? Sounds like a massive distortion of the game to me.
the first person i replied to said ah was not something that gave people a purpose/reason to play. that is false. its not hard to avoid at all. what do other peoples loot have anything to do with you? if someone CHOOSES to join a public game to get carried by people who use ah and have inevitably better gear, thats on him.
i dont even understand what youre saying. what you choose to do with your character is on you. if you refuse to use ah then youre playing a gimped character. stick to normal or get carried by ah people. its not like there was competition with no leaderboards/gr/adventure mode. if you couldnt kill diablo in inferno, then grind a3 in a lower difficulty.

Even though there was another topic that was closed due to the same type of potential flaming it would have brought,I wanted to get something out.
What type of reward are you looking for and expecting from a game?
What does it matter what others do?Set your own goals,dont live off of others achievements.
You want to enjoy the game,well then enjoy it in your own way not others ways.
The AH/RMAH was not something that gave people a purpose/reason to play.It was what made people quit playing.
I just dont get why people have to complain about their own likes and dislikes based off of what others do,especially in a video game.
what the hell? just because you dont believe it, it doesnt make it true. RMAH/AH gave me a purpose/reason to play. suck on that. your statement is false. It might have made other people quit playing, but most features are not unanimous. People love seasons. People hate seasons.

you literally had to press a button to get to ah or rmah. if you didnt want to, you didnt have to click that button. people felt compelled to ah to be competitive. i personally dont understand why people shoot for spots in nonseasonal leaderboards because theres literally almost zero competition there, but thats on them. theyre all choices.
ah distorted the game in a positive way for me. it was a mini game. i could play the ah. i could make some money on rmah. anything i found had some innate worth (up until the duping). i could sell magic ias items in the beginning! imagine that. BLUES worth something other than dust. by your logic, gr distorted the game way more than anything. people cant even choose to not play gr because theyd lose out on legendary gem upgrades and huge exp boosts.
there was absolutely nothing wrong with ah. people blame ah for lots of stuff, but it was just a scapegoat. the real problem was that blizzard envisioned gearing to the highest difficulty to be a TEN YEAR quest. that was insane. that and rares over legendaries of course.
i dont agree with rmah because i dont agree with pay to win, but i made a pretty penny off it and did not pay to win myself.

i mean..im way more offended that you didnt even bother to read what i typed in the first place. my advice was to do a1 bounties ONLY when you need rift keys (opposed to the other acts for higher chance of rorg), but the most important thing to do is to rift and SEE WHAT DROPS. as rorg is not NECESSARY for most builds, its wise to not spend time trying to get it. rorg is a byproduct of getting rift keys from doing a1 bounties; it is no longer a GOAL. its a perk on the side.
its way more important to farm rifts to get items since, in the long haul, he will not use that rorg. if it drops, whoop di do. if it doesnt, keep going at torment rifts until you run out of rift keys.
lol it doesnt matter if hes trolling or not. rorg is not a required item anymore. the vast majority of builds do NOT use it.
Required for a build or not is not relevant to the process of gearing up really. Unless you're unlucky it's significantly faster to get rorg + 5 different pieces of a 6p bonus than it is to just find 6 different pieces so you should still be going for it since you need to do bounties anyway.
nah i almost never use it to gear up. realistically the number one goal is to find an ancient weapon of any kind to really help through the lower torments
i hate microtransactions and dont pay for them in almost any game i play unless i deem it very worthy. for example, ill never spend real money to get skins in LoL, but i paid for some in game currency in dc universe online way back when because it gave me 2 expansions with it.
saying all that, ill gladly pay for stash space in d3.
lol it doesnt matter if hes trolling or not. rorg is not a required item anymore. the vast majority of builds do NOT use it. i say just stick with the t1 strategy. see what drops. if you need rift keys, run some a1 bounties. maybe youll get rorg maybe not. use those keys to run torment rifts. try to get under...say....4 minutes a rift. if you can beat t1 rifts at 2minutes a piece consistently, do t2 until. move up when its too easy. walk gr up for gems as someone else said. dont bother leveling gems until you can do torment 6 pretty easily. its a long long road to go about this solo, so everything i described will probably take you many many many many hours of gameplay.
Not that you would.. but.. theoretically could you use F+R with no Primary skill and (though gimping yourself) just have the 50% buff from using Secondary skill?
depends on your goal here. basically, since theres no real middle ground in d3, if you want to do speed 40s or t6 or whatever, you want max dmg so you do charge with FR. if you want to push gr, obsidian and coe are definitely the better choice.
reroll it to anything else but attack speed or %dmg. your ww scales with your mainhand. offhand is just for stats. attack speed on ur weapons just increase the attack speed of that specific weapon, not both in difference to the rest of your gear u can roll ias on. vit ot loh are way more effecitve on ur offhand

they clear a billion mid-high 60s in 4 man group in a few minutes per rift and take the 1% upgrade chance after the guardian.
