Where the heck did he say that? I do recall him saying that the hardcore community was very important to him and that they do make decisions based on hardcore and the hardcore community.

Not that I blame you for missing twitter.
But really what else could you expect. They didn't even beat Inferno proper in softcore. How could they know what doing the same in hardcore would be like?
A farier way to put the argument would be - why would you balance the economy around the 4% of the population that cannot interact with the RMAH?

Haha! Seriously, what is the deal with quivers? I SWEAR they are the most dropped loot item.

For me it's the
fooking bows. Of course they stop dropping when I play my HC Demon Hunter...

Quivers are *always* magical (never mundane), so they probably feel more common as a result. If you picked up whites, they would probably feel rare.

If only this were the case for rings/amulets!

...? I get heaps of ring/amulet drops. Always garbage, but I usually have 6-10 on me when my inventory is full.

Aren't rings always baseline magical? It feels to me like rings/ammys are about as common as quivers.

Seems like I always have a couple of socketed rings and/or amulets; the version with just a socket, no stats.

Socket is a magical prefix. Which is absolutely terrible for rings/amulets since they can only get one socket, and don't get special bonuses like helm/weapon.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!

The worst part about socketed rings/amulets is that, unlike other affixes, there benefit is static across all ilvls. I was unimpressed by the ilvl15 socketed amulet; the ilvl63 one makes Elric go crazy!

I've actually seen socketed jewellery with an affix, which makes them slightly more useful, but it's still a waste of a prefix.
