And on the note of lotteries. Are they truely a problem? Getting rid of things like this in the name of "fairness" seems out of the realm of this game. This game isn't fair.. I like that.

I don't care about the "fairness." Lotteries are fair -- people run them and other people choose to participate.

They're a bit of an indicator of a shit economy, though, and they prey on risk seekers and uninformed players.

It's like how, in a busy city, particularly in the lower-income areas, there are many operating scam and rip-off artists about. They aren't taking your money (unless you're foolish enough to deal with them), so it's not really your problem, but it makes the local area look like a shithole.

I see you pointed out what's 'wrong' with society as a whole.. But it just keeps happening, civilization after civilization. I guess the currency in this game is closer to realistic currency than you think. So now we are stuck on the fence. I have an idea. Lets make everyone drop exactly the same amount of everything, and everyone will share what they have extra of. Then the game will be perfectly balanced.. No fights.. No shitty economy.. No Problems. Oh.. and perfect 6L rolls everytime after level 70!

Tell that to Soviet Russia.

I was thinking more Oblundercare... But yes that too. Let's not get into that though.. This is a game.

So is Ololmacare.

Oh wait...

i tried fusing my wanderlust but almost at 20 fusing, still i cant 4 link that shit,

... until i realized i was clicking the wall,

oh i was sleeping, what a bad dream

My most recent 6L:
Got pretty lucky dropping it and 6Linking in about 600.. Should be a nice profit..

This on the other hand took about 1500 and it wasnt a drop... :/

P.S. I like the way fusing stuff is atm.. Sometimes it takes 2, 200, or 2000.. That's the thrill of it all.

I have a simple 1k armor I traded 1 chaos for a month ago.
It has 5 sockets on it and I gave up trying to 4 link after I think I used 20 fusings.
I could have bought a linked item for less.
Might not mean much to those who have 1000 to burn but I barely hang onto a few at a time.
Then again I accidentally 5linked a staff in 4 tries on a 5 socket.
But I don't need it and I guess no one else does either.

Dropped 5 items with 5-link, all of them were weapons.

Spent about 500 orbs to get my Soul Mantle 5-linked (and a ton of scraps).

Never seen a 6-link, never got one after spending about 800 fusing orbs (500 on Soul Mantle, 300 on a white chest).

This crappy socketing/linking system has to stop, it manages to beat D3 at the contest for the worst crafting system...

Crafting in diablo III was fun!! Only downside was that it was expensive as hell and generated only shit and u could by good items from auction house much cheaper. But the diablo craft system without gold and with recipes is nice.

Another fusing story:

I want to 5link my white Astral Plate with six sockets. I tried it over 200 times, but I didn´t get it so far.

No problem, this is probably pretty common.

The fun thing is, that in the meantime I have found four 5links, while farming for the currency I need to craft my Astral Plate. Before I started wasting currency on the Astral Plate, I found two 5links in total.

I feel like RNGesus is pointing and laughing at me, saying: "Idiot! Just buy what you need, don´t waste your time crafting."

I still love the game, but I can understand everyone complaining about the crafting system.
