If you find getting a 6l that hard then maybe you're doing something wrong. Do you vendor rares? Do you just wait for a 30+ exalt drop and discard everything else? It's easy to make 10 exalts a week just vendoring trash rares, selling OK rares and doing the chaos/regals recipes. Is 3 weeks too much effort for you to get a 6link or you want all your gear handed on a silver platter?

Let me add a bit of emphasis for you here because clearly you missed my message:

Hope this helps clarify my stance on things for ya, sir.

I noticed something, you play standard league only. A lot of the players here are doing the 4 month leagues. We start with nothing again. We are not playing with a years worth of currency and with BIS gear. Why don't you start playing a 4 month league and see how the drop are now, because it is different from last year when starting over with nothing.

Peoples who don't trade will always say that the drop rates aren't good enough. Fact.

i just started a new toon in ambush with no back-up stash (oh how i miss my leveling uniques !!)

normal and cruel were ok. useful stuff actually dropped and an occasional alch or 3 kept me going.

but merciless drops still SUCK relative to the difficulty. big time.

self found in act 3 of merciless ? not a freaking chance. i still wouldn't be there if i was running self found.

the drops simply aren't good enough to keep up with the gear requirements. i mean i guess they could be, if you want to spend 100 hours farming fellshrine...

Except for all the self-found players who keep shouting 'the drops are fine' like myself?

Ultimately, players from both demographics have mentioned/discussed/whinged about droprates. From where I'm sitting, far more players who participate in trading complain about drops. They trade for great gear that would take a week or two to self-find, then they whinge they dont find their own upgrades :=/

Same old speeches, just a slightly different topic.

To the Haters, if you dont like it then get out. Let your #'s speak to GGG. If you think its truly a bad game making bad decisions then quit playing and if all of you do it then maybe GGG will listen to you. Yet you dont leave. Instead you keep playing and posting on a forum and QQ'ing about how you dont like that a game made by gamers for HARDCORE gamers is actually HARD.

The desync issue is understandable for players to be upset with. It sucks when you die from something you couldn't prevent. I thought Chris did a good job not only acknowledging the problem, but explaining the difficulty in fixing the problem. As far as drops, we have said this countless times. The drops are fine. Yes, you cant farm 100 hours and get all the best gear in the game. It was designed for that. Instead you are supposed to trade if you want top end gear. The economy and bartering system we figured in when coming up with the drop system. The chances of getting a high end gear that your character needs is pretty low, but by farming you will earn enough lower currency or drops you dont need and sell to be able to aquire the piece you do need. If you want to play "self found" then you accept that fact that A) you will be running with lower end gear and B) it will be harder which is the whole point of playing self found. What is so f'ing hard to understand about this? Oh? You dont like that system? Then see my first paragraph. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

To the White Knights, nothing. I agree with you guys. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

I do think you guys should have a league on your own with improved drop rate to compensate for the inhability to trade.
