is it me?

I tell you why I think this, in just 2 days (well, about 6 hours total) of playing 1.10 beta, with a 2 dagger throw barb in players8, finishing normal and then act1 NM, I found:

The battlebranch
Bloodthief
Rockfleece
The patriach
Kinemil's awl


Tancred's crowbill
Magnus' skin

~10 rares, most of them decent

and probably some other stuff that I've forgotten

(note, I normally play this guy in players8 mode, and the drops have definately increased), this stuff in 6 hours is mostly better than what I've found playing for a whole year on 1.09 realms.

AND, playing a new character, found 4 rares before I'd even finished the cold plains.

Maybe it's a single player thing to help us find some decent stuff, or maybe it's going to be a constant thing, or maybe it's just a beta thing so that we end up playing as if we were on a test server, but if it moves over the Bnet, there's either going to be little need for trading, or there's be more legit trading going on, as proper amounts of things that people actually want start to appear.

Although I'm not complaining, with all these nice items dropping, we're going to have nowhere to put them on single player, we either need bigger stashes or some sort of proper way to mule. Perhaps if we had infinite stash size in single player, since it's much harder to mule on SP.

Hail Bob,

I played a 4+hour session in Softcore with two friends and found nothing but chipped gems and about 3 rares.

I played a 2+hour session with one friend and two lurkers and found one set item, some chipped gems, and 2 rares.

I played solo act V to see what it was like for 2+hours and found NOTHING!

My friend was playing solo and with his friends and saw uniques and rares practically falling from the sky. So, yes, I've heard of good drops in games, but no, I have personally got NOTHING!
