Diablo 3 is fundamentally broken

[MongoJerry]

And you can stop practicing in the easy modes of the game (Normal, Nightmare, Hell) and start playing the real difficulty (Inferno) where everyone else is, with gear that's not so ridiculously overpowered for the zone you're currently in that you have almost no chance of dying.

Softcore is easy mode in all difficulties. Move on from Inferno softcore and play normal difficulty hardcore.

And it's not about me being a better player. I know I'm not, and I bow down to Frag as a better player in all ways. But at some point, you should take on the challenge, if/when you get bored of softcore. It is a very different game than softcore, and you might actually find it more fun.

Not sure where you're getting the whole gear thing from, though. That was cheap and out of left field. I just started my farming runs in upper hell again after a couple of fits and starts and am getting ready to make my jump into Inferno. I wish they weren't nerfing Inferno, actually, but at least Act I won't change. Come join the hardcore crew and show us how it's done.

But anyway, the point of my original post was to say there's a lot more to do than just level 5 characters up. You can play hardcore, you will be able to play PvP, or you can play alternative characters. There are a lot more possibilities than Elric gives the game credit for.
