D2 isn't for everybody

People crying about hacks and bots and item drops need to go back to D3. When they killed the auction house is when I quit D3.

The fact is there is alot of money to be made off this game. To really making any money takes more than knowledge of the game and long hours of play. It takes that plus being very smart especially in areas of marketing and alot of time to further the cause.

Yes, there are people making money off the game and for them it is more fun than actually playing it. But when I say playing it, I mean in the conventional manner. Smart trading for profit is an unconventional way to play this game and is also part of it. Who are you to say something is wrong with it just because you aren’t smart enough to do it? Many of the ways to get ahead in this game may be exploits of something or another, but they all require smarts and time invested to be rewarding and is a greater challenge than simply defeating Baal.

And if you think about it, you can’t deny that people want this or there would be no one to sell anything to.

Resurrected means resurrected, bring it back, bring what went with it. It’s why I bought the game, to test my skill in profit from the d2 real world economy in the year 2021. I made 20 grand casually playing this game with an Ebay account back in the day I know people that made alot more. People want this if you don’t then play single player or don’t play. Whatever the case stop crying and ruining the game for those of us who left D3 when the auction house closed.

My wife couldn’t complain about me playing a video game when it put food on the table. I’m 51 yrs old now and have no regrets

I sit next to my wife while I play.
The only complaints I get are when her computer crashes.

good to know we are in the same age group.
that way we can reference things like paper and analog clock displays ^.^

people that wanted to. If you wanna know how exactly I started saving and cubing gems to get gear good enough to MF quickly without dying. Then I noticed disprortional differences between the values of some items in game trading vs ebay prices. I could buy item x for a dollar that traded even for item z in game but item z sold for 5 dollars on ebay etc

oh i see, pure on-line sales. with stock inflow with you doing some labour on your end then selling the refined item.

why diablo?. you could do this with actual objects in the real world and make more?

I mean you could run a Minecraft server for 60k a month for instance. or buy and sell cheep crap from drop-shipping.

I guess what I’m saying here is some people don’t have time to play the game long enough to find an soj. Because they work alot. But they need soj to do whatever they are trying to do in the game, so they buy one. Others who may be selling such put all there time into this, it is thier job. Fair enough. Everyone should be free to do what they want .

i’m definitely not one of those people. Running around with enigma, heart of the oak and call of the wild after playing my solo bnet paladin for a cupule months.

Must be why im so interested in this. ^.^

Thats what I do. I retired working 8 to 5 at age 37.

I see.
congratulations.

Did you ever experiment with automating the labour aspect of your little operation at all?

is’t not about making money while you sleep? ^.^

One way to play
there are many . All rewarding in their own way

I play to have fun and you can call it test of whatever. You clearly violate Blizzards terms and profit from something you never created to begin with. Pretty much like piracy. Your a nobody to tell other who the game is for them or not. Resurrected just does not mean same old stuff, they can also learn to add and learn new things. They already gave it gfx which they added. I can probably bet if they make personal loot you probably quit.
Theirs this thing called a real job people do it which puts food on the table.
My local drug dealers said the same thing that they testing them selves in economy and we are not smart enough to do it amd they are.
Honestly boast if you want to about making money but many will tell you its shameful what people like you do.
Just so we are on the same page you never created this content to profit. World economy or whatever crap you spout you just clearly making a profit from someone else’s work which is called stealing IMO.

It’s fair that you liked it, but D3 AH made it to be a job one has to suffer, not a game one has to enjoy.

No but I know a bunch that did. The cost was starting over again after being banned and the purchase of numerous licenses. I still had my 1.08 characters and gear when they got deleted for inactivity some 10 years ago . I had the same choices everyone did. I never was jealous of those making more than me by exploitation. They had a price to pay. For them it was worth it. Not for me. I hated people who cried about it then as I do now. Get a life. Don’t worry what other people do. Worry about yourself. There is no difference from someone who worked hard in the real world to make the money to trade it for end game gear than those who don’t have money and worked hard in game to find gear to trade for it. They don’t think you are garbage for being different and the only reasons you could say they are must be apathy or ignorance both are unfounded and unnecessary. People need to open their eyes and their minds and realize that there are other perspectives than just their own and that multi faceted is better than uni dimentional . Options = freedom. No options = totalitarian dictatorship

Something got in the way of what someone was trying to do, they found a way around it. Something getting in your way? The same ability to find ways around it are I’m sure, staring you right in the face. Find them and go on about your business. Or if you just can’t get over it, D3 is for you.

…I, for one, am grateful for people playing the game for selling items – with the current drop rates.

100+ hours for one Jah rune, when you need 7 Jah runes…
It’s completely absurd.

If there was a way to get what you need, it would not be a problem.
I’d take content so difficult – not gear-gating, not random, not build specific, but actually difficult, actually requiring player skills like prediction, timing, knowledge, movement and strategy – that it’d take the average player 100 hours to get, over completely random with 1 in 350 000 chance to drop from easy content.

They’re currently 19$.
Unless you earn 0.2$ per hour, it’s a steal, if you value your time and don’t find the grind, hundreds upon hundreds of cow runs, or thousands of Trav-runs, fun.

I don’t enjoy grinding cheese, and I don’t enjoy grinding the same content thousands of times.

Hate to burst your bubble bud. Blizzard made the game the way they wanted it. Everything I learned was from the blizzard dev guys buddies. Nobody but Blizzard knew how to duplicate/modify items. No one had source code to alter the game only Blizzard. They kept it close secret and didn’t share. What I did was nothing and is not worth boasting. I was working 70 hours a week before you were even born there is nothing you can tell me about a real job. I went to school over 20 years. If you want boasting I’ve got 32 Plaques on the wall. I payed off my first house when I was 32 and Computer and networking technology paid for it. LoL Drug dealers…

You didn’t make 20 grand rofl.
