Hell... someone's cleared inferno without skipping any elites on less than 500k worth of gear. You'd pick up more than 1m gold just from a single play through of normal to hell.
Yes, one person did something so that means everyone everywhere can. I love how one person got really lucky and that magically sets a standard. People see what gear he had on and guess what, that means any similar gear gets jacked up in price insanely, because it's what you need to beat Inferno. Now it's not average gear anymore, now it's overpriced.
See that's what happens when a game is 100% based upon an Auction House, or hoping you get really really really lucky. You either get really really really lucky, which most people don't, or you have to suffer the torment of the Auction House, where anything goes. Want that one stat? Well people think it's useful so now anything with it is worth a fortune.
I bought everything I could afford from the Auction House with the stats you need, high resistance, high damage, high primary, etc etc etc. Everything you need to be able to survive more than a hit. Guess what, I still die almost instantly to anything. Maybe I bought the wrong things, but it doesn't matter. Now I'm broke. Now what do I do? Grind? Okay, so I killed Hell Diablo 50 times. I still have nothing. Not only do I have nothing, I have nothing I could possibly hope to sell. The money I got the first time didn't buy me anything that helped me, so how could I possibly expect it to do it now? The entire game is grinding. Grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind. One way or another, you're grinding. You're either grinding for gold, or grinding for gear. It's 100x worse than MapleStory. At least if you grind in MS, you get something out of it. Not here.
Let me just mention something: You have to remember that people have jobs. Just because someone got something insane done in a month of the game being released does not mean that everyone can. That person probably did nothing else all day, except play Diablo III. Not everyone can do that. The people who can't get screwed over even more, because while these no-lifers are breaking every aspect of the game, Blizzard is patching every possible advantage you could ever have out, like the drop reductions and the Magic Find being removed from Chests. So yes, it could very well take a month or more for me to ever beat Inferno Act I, and that's if I spent every day after my 12 hours it takes between I leave home form work and get home playing this game. Even if I did nothing else with my life, it would still take way too long.
No thanks. I beat Hell, I got my fill. I'm done until they make Inferno more realistically beatable, which may be never. At least there's still 4 other classes if I'm in the mood for that.
