buying and selling AH isn't to bad, i had some mf rings and only saw a couple with the same stats, so I purchased those 2 and put 5 in total up for auction.
I tried grinding Siegebreaker Hell on the weekend, made about a million, but got bored to tears, that's not the way to play the game. I don't feel like really stalking the AH either, that's not what I paid for. Seems like the game hits quite a dead end in Inferno because of gear, my WD is sitting on only 12k dps, and I can't think how to increase that. It's ok for Act 1, but screwed after that. What did your mate farm for gold in Act 1? I haven't found much.

I know personally, 3 people, who have over 50mill and all they do is buy up “bargins” and resell them for more. When I say bargins im saying items in the 1-2mill bracket. Stuff that I cant even afford.
They buy them and resell for 10mill. The buyers of these items are the ones in the same boat looking to fit out their char with the “best in slot” items, and early players who got to lvl 60 and managed to farm exploits in inferno. These people have massive cash reserves and just force up item costs. (theres nothing else to spend cash on)

They are already so far infront, its not funny and the only way blizz can even the playing field is to let higher lvl items drop in lower acts
Bring it on I say !!!
Probably made a couple of million gold off the AH doing this 15 minutes a day. Doesn't even need to be expensive items, with a bit of patience you'll find plenty of items listed for 5-10k that'll resell for 10 times that much. Worst case scenario, you can usually relist the item at cost + 15% sale fee and resell in 10 minutes ;). Unfortunately I spent most of that gold gearing up my characters or else I'd be able to bankroll much more expensive items :lol:

Blizzard arent going to price fix

They get 5% from the RMAH sale, so they are laughing all the way to the bank

Blizzard don't have to price fix, the rich vendors are doing that just fine.

Don't you mean 15% or did they drop that to 5%?

5% for blizzbucks or whatever the hell it is, 15% for paypal (so actually getting real money) IIRC.

You'll be glad that patch 1.0.3 is on it's way then. Better drops in earlier acts of inferno. It's impact will be two fold, in that you'll have a better chance of getting a useful drop in act 1 inferno, and the AH will have more useful items are a better price (increased supply).

Might have happened, I haven't paid that much attention lately. Fairly sure they'll charge more for real money than for Blizz money though to encourage people to keep money in blizzards hands. Plus paypal charges fees that have to be accounted for somewhere?

Bring on the new patch. Would love to never do another butcher run.

Absolute nonsense. Plenty of people who didn't exploit are quite well off. All it takes is one drop.

What's stopping you from doing Zoltun Khul/Belial?

This is going to upset a lot of people if the claims are true.

Quote:
Over the weekend we were contacted by a representative from a large CD key site, who claimed that Blizzard had patched out multi-language support for the Russian version of their game, forcing owners of a Russian CD key to play the game in Russian - even if they don't speak or understand it. The same story is being reported in multiple threads across the Battle.net forums, with even users in places like Spain, Brazil, Israel and Italy claiming to be experiencing the same problem.

Blizzard's response has been swift but not clear, with multiple blue posts claiming that the "cheaper Limited version" of the Russian game is locked to Russian, but the "full version" is not. Affected users have responded, claiming that they have purchased the "standard version" and do not understand the difference, but there has been no further comment from
Blizzard on the matter.

Regardless of the version issues, it is clear that all the versions of the game were functioning properly until June 8, when a patch changed them over to native language support only. Our source claimed to us that Blizzard sold the keys wholesale "promising that they were multi-language and region free", and that "over one hundred distributors in Russia" are now facing "millions of dollars worth of losses" due to being misled by Blizzard.

Faced with warehouses full of stock they can't sell, some of the distributors have banded together and created a website, Diabloclaim.com, where users who purchased a Russian key can sign a petition calling for Blizzard to unlock the language support for the game. "If enough petition signatures are signed," claims our source, "the distributors will go to court to Blizzard and sue them for damages (sic)". At the time of writing, over 2700 people have signed the petition.

Yeah it's true, they've already found a way around it using a packet editor though.

Not being up to Zoltun Khul/Belial, and having to dodge probably 50% of elite mobs in Act 2, making it impossible to get a Neph stack. Any invisible snake elite mob is pretty much unkillable for me solo. My DH only has 38000 damage and they all instant kill me.

All it takes is that one perfectly rolled item to pop up and then you can fund good enough equipment to smash Act 1. Another drop and you can get something to survive Act 2. Another drop and you can probably almost survive act 3 and start selling off 900dps weapons to fund everything else.

It is a bit of a "the rich get richer" thing at the moment, but it'll level out a bit once the ilvl 63 stuff starts dropping in Act 1.

To answer your question though, getting rolled by lacuni and wasps is stopping me :P
