I've played this game only for 2 days and I also think that skill gems need to be sold by NPCs, but only some basic skills (ex. Dual Strike, Split Shot, Fireball, Raise Zombie). And the rest of the skills should be acquired by drops or by trading with other players.

Trantis, play for a week, I guarentee you you'll NEVER need to go to a NPC to buy skill gems lol! I have TONS just from drops alone. And remember, when you play, you are in your own instance. Lvl your character to 10-12 then go back to the low lvl zones a few times - lots of cool stuff drops :) I ran through mud flats last night and a chaos orb dropped :) I find all sorts of cool stuff. THAT'S that charm of this game. I created a new witch last night - fire/lord of the dead and I was eager with anticipation to finish one quest cuz I would receive the "firestorm" skill gem. Buying gems from NPC only cheapens the experience and gives me nothing to look forward to imho.

Well there will be players who would like to make hybrid characters from the start (ex. bow/melee) and others who will roleplay their chars so they might want different types of basic skills from the beginning. And the price for 1 skill gem at NPC could be 2-3 different skill gems so that way there won't be so many skill gems gathering dust in everyone's stash.

I don't see the need for a skill gems vendor WHATSOEVER.

There is NO POINT to give the player everything in the beginning. We need to stop pandering to this new type of player mentality; "I want everything NOW, NOW, NOW."

NO! It needs to stop. The devs have a great thing going with this game by MAKING PEOPLE WORK FOR IT. This gaming laziness is a new mentality that I personally find disgusting and repulsive. Why should you get the skill gems in the beginning??? Why shouldn't you go and work for them like everyone else. Enough already with the "Special Snowflake Syndrome..."

FINALLY a really good game comes out and all of these leaches creap out from under their rocks and holes wanting the devs to make the game into another D3 - enough is enough already and we need to take a stand against this nonsense.

Sorry i didn't read most of the stuff here because i'm still searching from yesterday for both increase duration and lower mana coast gems.

If any one wants to sell me both "low level" i'll be in game later today.....

Hi silentman, you seem to forgot that forum trading and public stash system will be added soon before OB as well.
With the system up and running, newbies will never have to look far to find the gems they want.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Normal Act I vendors sell the initial skill gems that each class starts out with (Glacial Hammer, Double Strike, Heavy Strike, Burning Arrow, Cleave and Fireball), so you can craft resist rings easier, it takes a minute to rush hillock and get those gems, just sell them for 3 wisdom scrolls and save us the trouble in a ladder race when the drops aren't there.
