has anyone tried out using blacksmith as a way to gain some profit?
we are trying this with a friend. We bought a blacksmith recipe. We do our act1 runs, all the blue drop that is lvl 61 or more is salvaged, and then we craft the item and see if we are able to sell it.
We bought a 6stats lvl 62 helm recipe in the AH for 6 mill. Each helm is 90k to craft (+ the money we are not getting from selling the items ... lets say 300g each item...we need to salvage i think 20 items so 6k)
we made 4 or 5 already... they all sucked except one that even though was not EXCELENT it was kinda decent. (220 intelligence, 110 vitality, + armor, and someo ther crap stat)
for how much could a 220 intelligence, 110 vitality helm sell for? 100k? 500k?
The entire game is based around their auction house.
I'm level 57 and every single item I have was bought from the AH. Now of course you can argue that I should just ignore the AH and play only with items I find. That sounds reasonable, until I argue back that the items I have found for my class would result in me dying about 20 times a play through.
I'm pretty bored of the game. They may as well call it Virtual Trading House 3 and be done with it. I don't feel any sense of achievement with my character.
I'm sure this has been brought up a lot but I don't know why we're restricted to searching for 3 item properties on weapons/armor in the AH. Some equips have 7 different item properties and I can only search for, say, dex/vit/all resist at one time when I might want to search for other properties as well like attack speed or crit dmg or...well whatever. There's no reason to restrict the search to 3 "preferred stats", should have at lest 5 options.
Totally agree. With 2 toons past level 55, the ONLY way I got them to 57 is the AH. Sad in a way..... But it is what it is, I am never doing the Real money AH. So I do what I must. the 3 search criteria SUCKS. I would LOVE a 4th... 5 would be HEAVEN.

Check out the bliz diablo mainsite... you can access your in game profile now to see what you have equipped. Pretty neat... but that's all it is
So that's what they spent their time doing? Couldn't they have addressed more pressing issues. :\
You can easily beat at least normal through hell with no AH, hell I made it to 55 A2 Hell before even dying once (HC barb) with all dropped/NPC gear. I think you could probably make progress into/through A1 Inferno without the AH as well, though past that (and maybe even up to that) would probably be time prohibitive.
I haven't played for a month or so and won't ever again I think. I completely uninstalled the game once I sold my last item on the RMAH. The game is designed around that pile and that is a big problem with the game obviously.
No doubt they will keep milking it and as much as I'd like to see the game die off, and Blizzard reap the reward of releasing such a mediocre game, it won't. The $900 I made selling off my items on the RMAH is confirmation that there are gamers who will buy into this ridiculous pyramid scheme scam of a game :thumbsdown:
The last straw for me was 'farming' Act 3 Inferno and realizing there is literally no randomization of area levels in this game. It's all static maps with a few things jumbled about. Just couldn't believe it. Diablo 2 / LOD are vastly superior to this game in every way but the 3D engine and combat mechanics. That is just not enough to prop up the rest of this piece of shit. You can tell this game was designed with the intent to port it to console right from the get go. Hence the dumbed down game systems and crappy level design along with the simplistic retard friendly skill system and UI.
No doubt they will cash in a few more times on some expansions. I do feel certain they have lost a portion of their customer base, particularly long standing Diablo fans. I won't give them a dime ever again. They probably saw it coming though and could care less, the console sales will more than make up for it. Just disappointing to see one of the last few good PC game developers finally sell out and start releasing trash, even more so to see it be Diablo 3 as the game where they start going full retard.
whats wrong with BF3 for the PS3?
That's cool. Currently at work so the site is blocked, but is the profile public or private?
No bots at all....I barely even play. I just get lucky with drops, and AH.
Got this today.
Going to put it up for $150 see if I get any bites.
