Anyone else disappointed with Diablo 3?

Does Diablo 3's DRM prevent me from buying a used copy of the game? I wanna play... but I'm not going to shell out $60 for it.

You can buy a used copy of the game, but it wont have a license key, which you will need to buy from blizzard at full price..

There can be no used market for Diablo 3, the DRM ensures that

It seems Wineskin help in running D2 in Lion, but just at looking at the instructions gives me a headache. There's always the BootCamp route.

D3 is not a perfect game by any means; no game is. D2 wasn’t either but people can’t seem to remember this.

I can admit, D2 was significantly better than D3 on a lot of levels. However something people seem to forget is how long D2 was out. It was polished to that nice shiny finish, it wasn’t released like that. D3 is a game, just like any other, and it will always have it’s issues from the get go. Bitching about them all won’t change that. All it did was make Blizzard create 1.0.3 which people bitch about even more. The Diablo community these days is impossible to please.

I’ll admit that, yes, loot drop is kinda ****. My main character is wearing 95% AH gear and I think one thing from the Blacksmith (got lucky on the random properties) but I got all that gear from the Gold Auction House and never paid more than 50k for any of it. Yes, things cost insane amounts if you want the best gear ever but have you tried just getting good gear and then earning **** yourself? Or at least earning money to buy the better stuff? Now I’m just getting ranty... anyway.

It has flaws, any game will. Give it time though. Everyone freaking out and claiming how horrible it is won’t make the game any more enjoyable, it will just make it annoying. 90% of the same people bitching still play daily so what’s the point?

To be fair, I'm pointing out that the game seems to be centered on the auction house, which is undeniably true. But I haven't seen anything that makes me need to spend real cash to buy imaginary gear.

I'm still playing the game and enjoying it. Every 10 levels or so I find myself under-geared, then I go to the Gold AH and buy some stuff, maybe sell my old. Then it's not so hard for another 10 levels. DiabloBay!

If I had to slog through hundreds of hours to find good items I would quit.

Yup. I am moving more of my items to gold find. About half my DH gear is from the gold auction house. I am lvl 53 right now and my lifetime gold find is more than my friend's who is at lvl 60 already.

In a word: wow, a lot of negativity being directed at the game. I'm not saying it is wrong to do so, just observing comments. I have not purchased this game primarily due to it's online requirements and loot shop for cash. I'll probably go with Torchlight 2.

That’s basically what I’m doing. I found a nice gold farming spot in act 1 inferno and stacked up some GF gear. I only have like 158% GF or something but I’m still pulling in about 5k for a 30sec - 1min long run.

What people don’t seem to understand about Blizzard “updating for the AH” is that no one is forcing you to buy from the RMAH. Truthfully no one is being forced to buy gear at all it’s just much, much harder if you don’t. Personally though I have a wizard with just shy of 30k life and damage over 15k in act 1 Inferno. Is it the best gear ever? No but it’s pretty damn good and I’ve only bought from the gold auction house and have never spent more than 100k on an item (which I resold for 170k lol)

Gold is easy to get and the Gold AH is actually a very effective trading system. People need to stop complaining about it and just embrace it; makes the game a lot more entertaining. Plus your grinding for gear anyway so why not just grind for gold?

I am not disappointed with D3, but it is not holding my interest at all. In fact, I don't think I've played it in 2-3 weeks now. At first I thought it was just because the game wasn't as fun. However, as I sit here at work thinking about it, I believe the real reason is that I'm older now and no games hold my interest like they use to... though Borderlands on Xbox held my attention longer. It's still a loot filled romp killing things.. and I can do it from the comfort of my couch
