No, of course not. I'll rescind that, poor phrasing on my part. The min/maxers will resort to increased efficiency. Everyone else will just quit. There's a problem with the core of the game all the same. That RIF leeching is as popular as it is, is just an indication of that.

You sure they aren't dissatisfied? Most of them would rather sit at the character menu, clicking a username as fast as they can, then plowing one dude. Rather than actually playing the game.

Whether you worry about it or not doesn't change that it's abuse. Technically, yes. I'm not worried about Blizzard reprimanding anyone for it, or RIF, even nerfing either of them. They obviously intended it as a way to encouraging grouping throughout the whole endeavor. Don't take the usage...

Don't play dumb. The game also allows you to farm CoTA and that has been nerfed repeatedly. You know they don't intend for farming of CoTA, the only thing stopping them is the retarded design of their own engine. You know this isn't their intention just as much as CoTA farming.

Nowhere did I say want RIF removed. I think it's a great system, creatively designed by the players. That the players felt compelled, en masse, to play the game this way is what needs to be fixed. Misuse of a system is the exact definition of abuse. Or, did you think they intended for someone...

You think this was their intention with rifts and communities? That's as far as my usage of 'abuse' goes. I don't think that's extreme at all.

What Blizzard needs to do is fix the fucking game so people don't feel required to abuse the rift and community system just to get a whiff of the items they want. Yes, systems like this will always exist on the fringe, kinda like D2JSP. But it should not be this prevalent.

Right, which is why I avoid those that broadcast that way. I only brought it up here because it seems to be catching on. You know you don't get more blood shards per difficulty?

It's not free.

If the difference between torments was a bit more pronounced, I would agree with you.

Because as the numbers of runners go up, they approach free rifts within their group anyway. At 3 runners per 1 leecher, if you assume running the rest of the rift is worthwhile, I think the leecher is getting a raw deal for his 5 frags and the runners are abusing the system.

The idiom is that accurate?

How would you feel as the leecher if there were 3 runners and only 1 leecher?

I usually avoid people that have less than 3 open slots because I suspect they're doing exactly what you're doing. The bargain is a guardian kill for your 1.666666 frags.

No, guaranteed legendary was only beneficial before bounties and rifts were in. Get your character to 70 ASAP and start running rifts.

When? No. There's no timetable even for 2.0.5.

Looks like somebody's got a case of the mondays!

I'll rebut a few of your points even though your overall claim is off(for a reason I didn't specify earlier). Trading will definitely increase your overall chance to get loot. Those collection of decently rolled crusader shields I have sitting in my stash? Someone might want them. I don't...

How do I adapt my build to shitty drops?

Well, the limited loot table still seems to be in play. The diabloinc post seems to think it's been verified that you get 5-7(max?) per slot.

Yep. Don't mistake this as an endorsement for the AH. Their implementation of it, at least. What was my option for endgame farming before? Ridiculously expensive item off the AH or incredibly long and indeterminate farm period in game. Only difference now is that the former has been...

Yep. Honestly, this is a worse implementation of the endgame than the AH.

Not with how they are fucking up the ability for people to get INTO T6.

No one thought this was funny? More seriously, my home came with a water softener. My wife and I didn't like how "slimy" it made the water and shut it off. How much faster am I killing my heater?

Right, and that's the problem. You know it won't take that long, but it feels like it can. That's essentially, I hope, what RNG complaints are about. Annoying? Yes. Understandable? Definitely. I think a well-designed RNG game does as good as job as possible at hiding the RNG. For...

Burnout!!! Seriously, how long to people expect to gear up a character? Let's say I want BIS in all my slots. Not top rolls for each affix, but enough to make perma akkarat functional. How long should that take me?

You don't put pepper on your fish? Yes, you literally did not make a vinaigrette. You used all the ingredients that would be in a vinaigrette on your dish. The point is not that you literally sauced the fish, it's that felt the dish needed those ingredients to enhance the flavor of the...

Honestly, I think a lot of this is mental gymnastics. Seasoning is so important everywhere else except here. Even raw beef, tartar and carpaccio, are still well dressed and seasoned. Why is raw fish different? You're not going to convince me raw fish is much more flavorful than raw beef...

I didn't say drowning. My point is that I have yet to taste sashimi that could carry itself with almost no seasoning. And if I ever do taste one, it will probably be prohibitively expensive. To be fair, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon is basically a vinaigrette. You made a sauce. You're...

The rolls are another matter. I have no problems with flavor there, but then you have so many other ingredients and flavors that it makes my why I'm paying for raw fish. It's really hard to tell it's in there. Tuna sashimi, as I understand it, is a decent piece of raw fish on top of a...

People will only understand the issue once they can't watch netflix for the rest of the month.

Wrap a (clean)sock around it. Or add some extra kink and do it through her panties.

My wife was the same way. It takes time for people to open up sexually even they're quite open with you otherwise. Blame the protestants, sex is way too taboo in this country. The magic wand is how I eased my wife into liking anal. Didn't even buy with that intent, just liked the reactions...

Yeah, the difference is explaining why I don't care for it. It costs too much, it's not cooked so you miss out a lot of potential flavors, and most raw fish is just bland. How many cooked fish dishes have an accompanying sauce? Yet most raw fish is supposed to be ok with a dab of wasabi and...

Have you tried a magic wand, noodle?

You need a well-formed tight pack for combust to do more damage than shattering throw, even without the bug.

I used the term 'abuse' in the sense that they, Blizzard, obviously did not intend for the rift system to be used this way. Not in the sense of "you shouldn't be doing this" or "you're going to get banned for this".

I somewhat disagree. If you play the game to try new gear and builds but the gear isn't dropping for you, botting might solve that. Join the RIF community. If you want to leech, sit in the channel and wait for someone to advertise that a rift guardian is up, blah blah blah opens the next one...
