Ways to save D3? Can't do whatever difficulty without the AH? Blah, blah blah..
The game was released 12 DAYS AGO! Why expect to blow through the game immediately. We've waited a long time for it. Savor it like a fine wine instead of guzzling it like 2 Buck Chuck. Let Blizzard adjust parts of the game that really do prove themselves wrong. Spend some time trying to better your equipment without insisting it be optimal first pass. Work out new strategies with what is there. The doomsday sirens have not sounded yet so, as someone my age may have heard long ago, take a chill pill, dudes. Peace and love one another.

Well, in the case of Inferno mode, I don't think its a matter of wanting to blow through the game, I think the main concern is just being able to get through it at all, without it being incredibly stressful and unfun. As hard as hell mode was, one could get through it eventually if they made upgrades through the AH or were extremely lucky in getting good drops (but gl with that). With inferno, many are skeptical, for good reason, that even having top notch gear will smooth the experience some - it doesn't seem likely since many of the monster traits here completely deprive the player of all control, and the damage they do is pretty excessive - they could nerf monster dmg by 50% and the game would still have plenty of challenge, but would make playing it much more tolerable. Basically the game determines whether you get through or not - and this isn't how it should be. It is an artificial system that PUNISHES the player and really is no indication of a players skill, only an measure of how much pain and misery they can tolerate.
People can sit here and argue with me all they want - but being 2 shotted and not being able to do ANYTHING about it is NOT fun. Personally, I think they should just remove Inferno altogether and keep hell mode as the cap. Hell is certainly more than challenging enough, even to the point that some people will probably be like "fuck this", but getting good enough gear makes it playable. Inferno is just pointless.
I don't want them to make the game as easy as WoW where people just blow through the game with no effort, but as it is, it will drive many people away. There has to be a happy medium here. Anyway I guess Blizz is going to respond soon, since this is such a hot topic in the community right now. Let's see what happens....
Finally started playing one of my other chars, a Barbarian, level 10 now. Even on normal mode early on, he feels more fun and a bit less squishy than the DH. Finally found my first Legendary item also, some decent shoulders I forget the stats of them but they are lvl 52 I think. So, they actually do exist. Whattya know.
