I think i would have done the same because 250 dollars is alot of dough for a single item but still....
Wouldn't it have been epic to wield a cool sword that you even found yourself?!

The RMAH kills all the fun imo and i still don't understand why anybody pays 250bucks for a virtual item

Just out of curiosity, do you have a screenshot of it or the stats?!

Here it is.

While not as good as the weapon I sold I do have decent weapons on my Monk(valued at around 10m gold each).

Why can't I get a drop like that!

**F34R** · 07-11-2012

I'm with ya on that justin! lol. I haven't found really good drops.

**justintheman87** · 07-12-2012

Hit level 53 last night, made 45K gold and never had one single drop worthy of the AH. I have bad luck.....

**F34R** · 07-12-2012

Same here, my barb hit lvl 54, in hell act 2, nothing really good dropped.

**justintheman87** · 07-12-2012

So far I have received one legendary item through a drop, a belt for level 33. That is the only item I ever equipped that dropped, everything else was purchased.

**Beast of Bourbon** · 07-12-2012

Ok i've spent 5kk on better items for my wiz and got ~600 res all.

Act2 is pretty easy now so at least i can Do some Magda runs...
I also upgraded my staff of herding to "hellish".
Max item level on hell is 61 but there are still a few drops that could be good (rings/amus/boots some legendaries are ilevel 61 too).

If everything else fails i can blast some unicorns and hope for a decent drop / rake in some gold

Blizzard has called on gamers to play in moderation after an 18-year-old died following an uninterrupted 40 hour Diablo 3 session.Taiwanese teenager Chuang, booked a private room at an internet café in Tainan, southern Taiwan, at noon on Friday 13th July and played for nearly two days without eating, the United Daily News (via The Australian, via the Australian Associated Press) reported.On Sunday 15th July a worker at the café checked on Chuang, who was resting on a table. After the attendant woke him, he stood, took a few steps then collapsed. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a local hospital.The cause of death is unknown, but police, who are carrying out an autopsy, speculated that being sat down for so long created cardiovascular problems.Blizzard responded to the news by issuing a statement recommending players prioritise their day-to-day life over "any form of entertainment"."We're saddened to hear this news, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We don't feel it would be appropriate for us to comment further without knowing all of the circumstances involved."While we recognise that it's ultimately up to each individual or their parent or guardian to determine playing habits, we feel that moderation is clearly important, and that a person's day-to-day life should take precedence over any form of entertainment."As The Australian points out, this is the second death in Taiwan from playing video games this year. In February a man in New Taipei was found dead in a chair facing a computer after a 23 hour session. He died of cardiac arrest.

Yep and last month some crazy bastard killed his wife and threw parts of her body on the streets here in Germany. The world is a cruel place with many stupid and sick peoples on it.

**Beast of Bourbon** · 07-19-2012

Did he drop any good loot?

Hit level 54 last night. DPS is now 5857, and health has passed 23,000. First time I played in almost a week, hope to hit level 60 before the end of the month though.

**Dylan0987** · 07-20-2012

I played pretty much nonstop through the first 2 weeks. Made it to Cydea on Inferno pre 1.03 (but after Wizard Force Armor nerf) and then 1.03 hit and I just didn't care anymore. On the plus side, since I got the game for "free", I made about $120 in the two or so days I played with the RMAH...so score!

**F34R** · 07-24-2012

Just thought I'd give a little update... the entire family here has kinda become addicted to the game play when playing some co-op. My daughters, 11 years old, have been playing it a decent amount (i'll get their time logs), but one is lvl 38, and the other is lvl 40. Wizards.

You're a bad person and you should arrest yourself immediately.

**F34R** · 07-25-2012

I've gotten two chars, my barb and monk, to lvl60. The monk is now in act 2 inferno.

**justintheman87** · 07-25-2012

Level 54, DPS is now 6800 and health is over 27,000. Wow it takes a long time to gain a level now. Yikes.

**F34R** · 07-25-2012

Nope dude... you have to find the right spots to level up. I took just a few hours to get from 54 to 60. You can get lvl 57 to 60 in an hour and a half.

Make sure you use a helmet with a socket and put a highlevel ruby in it. I usually run with a 23% bonus exp gem in it and it kicks ass in leveling up

**Beast of Bourbon** · 07-26-2012

I just need to gain 4 more levels with my monk - then i'll have all classes at Lvl60.

Also reached act4 and killed ishkatu with my Main (wiz)...

No idea what i'll do once i've finished act4... maybe inferno ponylevel runs

Bought new pants last night which put my health over 37,000, while increasing my DPS by 100. It is taking me right now 4 hours of game time to go up one level while playing on Hell. Where would you recommend I go to level faster? I don't want to re-socket anything for more XP, as I would lose life, and DPS.

Its only 1 socket (Helm) and if your trying to level up faster that's the best way of doing it. Act 3/4 are the best spots.

Arreat Crater lvl 1, go through till you kill boss, rinse repeat. Life isn't that important. Resistances and speed are more important. Your defenses are extremely important too.

**Beast of Bourbon** · 07-26-2012

It's done - monk at lvl 60 too i always had a ruby in my helmet for +24% exp.
Turned 60 right before Diablo on Hell.
I wonder how far i can get with him on inferno - iirc 6,5k armor/600 all res/40k life/ ~12k dps/700loh...

The wiz will remain my mainchar but if i ever start a HC char it'll be a monk
