I pretty much agree with that. I prefer to be able to know in two seconds what to keep. Then I drop it already ID'd for anyone else to come along to pick up. (Not everyone recognizes which unique is which)

Also I do some MF and come across tons of stuff worth selling. I'm not going back to town to ask cain if this phase blade is good or not each time ones drop. Mf charms aren't great enough to make a big bonus. 100 extra MF isn't really worth the trouble when you already have 400 due to diminishing returns

I find time to be the most important factor. In these two charm spaces, I can stash what? 12 mf? +30 life? about 50 more damage? Maybe, but from my experience Killing a boss three seconds faster isn't worth the trouble. :)

What if there are two good drops? I believe we'll be the only ones to be able to pick up items, because everyone else wants 30 more fire resist :P

But that's the way I play. I don't bother with gaining every advantage there is. I just play and I like it fast. I don't save stat or skill points for more than three levels, because in the long run, it doesn't matter much. Of course, this leads to screw-ups, but hey! *Cough* Breast Plate :)

But all and all, you efficiency folks do have it better in the long run. Of course, I'll still pack both tomes and a key. After all, I would have never found a Cruel elite item via drop if I had to annoy Cain all the time.

(Yea, yea, you all have mules of super elite weapons, but hey! How many have dropped :P)
