But no.
Blizzard. Your thought process is fucked up.  |

For me, I have sort of reached a point where the fun factor is taking a major nose dive. My main char -- a lvl 55 or 56 DH -- is getting stuck because I haven't been able to find any decent gear, and I'm too poor to afford level-appropriate gear on a frequent enough basis from the AH. With crappy gear, I'm too weak to solo in Hell, and even when I'm in party, I die all too frequently from 1-hit kills. So the whole thing just turns into a grind. But as we all know, grinding for gear is no fun in D3 because the drops are so crappy. I love the boss fights in D3, but a good chunk of fun is taken out of it b/c there is simply no reward from it. As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure I am losing money from boss fights b/c of my high gear repair costs.

blizzard's plan for this game is for players to grind endlessly, not for experience points, but for items. Inferno is purposely made almost impossible just so players need to farm for the best items possible before they can last more than 2 hits. Sets and legendaries are super rare just so they will be exclusive to only a very small % of palyers. We all know once RMAH comes out, everyone who has the best items (sets, high-end legendaries) will be putting it up for sale there, and not the regular gold AH.
The goal of blizzard is to make $$$ off of RMAH from d3 players.
Legendaries look like theyre not as good as rares, but combine multiple pieces of legendaries together and you will have bonuses like:
-
20% melee dmg reduced
-
+15% dmg to elites
- 25% increased overall hp
- crit chance increased by 30%
- 300+ resist all
With those stats you can probably do inferno easier, but once RMAH comes out, dont expect to spend anything less than real money to get those items.
i guess you can say the bottom line is that blizzard wants players to get so pissed at farming for good items to be able to do inferno that theyre willing to just pay real moeny for items instead. Also when pvp comes out, it's gonna mean $$$ for blizzard as well.
