Geez people. Just play the game and have fun.
I personally object to the EQ-esque "camp sets of monsters for the ultimate uber l3wtz" that you absolutely must have to go anywhere near the "endgame" areas. Skill needs to play a part. Depending on "uber l3wtz" should never make or break the way a game is played. Diablo 1 got this right. All you needed was decent to-hit and good blocking for a melee character or decent magic rating for a magic user. No supreme equipment combo that you had to camp 24 hours a day to attempt to get to even stand a chance in hell\hell.
That's another thing I have noticed with quite a few of the character guides hosted "elsewhere" on the internet... they all advocate getting the best equipment with racing to level 99 and exclusive Magic Find characters included in the prerequisites. While I am sure that is interesting after a while, but what does it say about the game\character build when I have to find rare items just to stand a chance?
