So frustrating that the same mistake is repeated in every D2 clone

I really enjoy the crafting system. Sure if your preconception is "I have to get a BiS item" then you are going to have some let downs, but to craft a very viable item really doesn't take a lot of currency. Not to mention if you're looking for a mirror worthy item or a 6L then it certainly should take 1000's of currency.

I know bro :) it was just the "tin-foil-hat" remark that made my eyes twitch and made me reply :p.

the things i write down here can be observed by anybody in this community :).
They are not really assumptions, since evidence is everywhere in the forums that suggest this is the current case. And my own personal experience only amplify this.

Luckely i am not effected by this because i play to play a game in my spare time :).

I contributed to the game after i already considered i had spend enough time in it to make the donation valid. But some people might not apply that strategy of thinking and feel cheated or "fished :p".

I simply enjoy conversations dude, even on a forum :), it's always cool to hear another person's opinion on something.

Okay let's throw out the "BiS" and say a 900 dps 2 hander isn't realistic. Try crafting an 800 in a Hc league. Nope. 700? lol. 600? Not happening. 500? Keep going....we aren't talking BiS here. We are talking about the amount it costs to craft something half the dps of BiS. I'm 106 Exalted deep into my Nemesis project, how about you?

You can easily complete nearly all content with a 450 dps 2 hander no? So yes a 600-700 dps 2 hand is insanely strong and should take time to achieve.

The desire to be in god mode and dominate the game with ease is not something that should be attained easily. This would ruin the gameplay experience for anyone even slightly non-casual.

What about when we get proper PvP and suddenly you need a 600+ DPS weapon to be considered anywhere near competitive?

I've only been playing about 50 days in domination (I also went through a move and didn't have internet for a week) and I have found about 20 ex equivalent. Found a near perfect BoR (298%) Khaom's primacy (great roll as well) quite a few decent rares and mid range uniques like rainbowstride.

And this is again as a fairly casual player in a short amount of time. In my opinion I am easily able to make new builds with viable gear without having to trade.
