I never turned to passing up rares and singling out the ilvl 63's in previous patches. Every bit of gold was of value for me. I'm also running around with 45 pickup radius so not a single piece goes to waste. I thought making gold was easy in the old patches. Now that every rare sells for 1500-2500 the amount of gold I can make just from vendoring rares has probably tripled. Now add in the fact that Blues will now sell for 600-1300 and they are worth picking up as well. Instead of filling your inventory and coming out with 3k if you're lucky you can fill up on Blues and walk away with a cool 30k. And Blues fall like rain! I started picking up Blues over half way through an Act III run last night and ended up making about 1.8 million for the run. If I were to do a full Act III run picking up and vendoring everything I wouldn't be surprised at 4 million a run. It's a lot of extra time going back to town, but oh boy the profit! It's also a nice set-up if they ever make crafting more beneficial. You can DE all your crap rares instead of vendoring them and make your cash just from Blues.
On a different note, the new shrines that boost your movespeed are crazy. It is seriously difficult to control your character moving at +50% movespeed. Reminds me of the D2 Frenzy Barb days tearing around barely able to target an enemy.
