| I hear the rare drop rate is going to change to become more rarer. I sit there and play the game for a couple of hours a day and no good rare drops so there solution is to make the rare drops less. Sounds like BS and people support this. So you can't find any items and legendarys are hard to come by unless you play all day long which some people cannot do. Stuff in the AH will become more expensive. Just because some people can play all day doesn't mean we all can. I am getting real sick of this.

As Griffin mentioned, that's only a piece of the story, and you'll fine out more about our upcoming itemization plans in our Developer Journal: Itemization Update. I highly recommend reading through the whole article, because it goes into a lot about our philosophies behind these changes and more. Here's a snippet: "We want to make it fun and rewarding to hunt down new items through play, and really instill the feeling that your next awesome item could come from anywhere, and is just around the corner. We need to get rid of some of the clutter first, so we plan to reduce the frequency at which Rare items drop down the road. Before anyone panics and posts an angry comment in the forums, this doesn't mean we want players to earn even fewer good items. It just means we don't feel it's necessary to present the player with hundreds of bad Rares for every one that they might want. As an example, suppose items currently roll between 1-100 Intelligence. Now, imagine that we dropped 25% as many items, but the Intelligence range was instead somewhere around 75-100. In the end, you'd find fewer items, but more of the items you find would be worth equipping. That's our goal." | ||
