You want to be max gear score in a couple hours? And then what?
Does it not make an upgrade that much more exciting? If you got an upgrade on every drop would that not just trivialize playing the game rather quickly?
I feel people have never played looter like diablo or its ilk.
I just dont get it.
Dude, I have 6 days, 11 hours and 3 min played for one, so yeah no. Are you running GS 500 or above? If you are then you have probably experienced the same thing as the myriad of other posts in this forum about it... pretty much NOTHING that drops is an upgrade. Tonight however, it was raining usable high end loot on me and all I did was lower my equipped GS.This post was about a possible bug that is stressing a lot of players, but apparently you didn't bother reading it before spouting off.
Also about the "couple hours" comment, I played 16 hours doing pretty much everything in the game this past weekend at 500+ GS, and got zero usable drops,although I did get some upgrades from the 10 or so FP Caches I opened. There is a very fine line between grinding and pure pointlessness. I never played Diablo, but I did play EQ and EQ2 for like 10 years, so I know all about grinding and camping, the difference was, after 12 hours camping in lower Guk, you knew that you would get that dagger sooner or later from that damn frog and you would have a uber rogue. Here I grind and I have no idea if I will ever get that great item with stats I am looking for. I have probably sold or destroyed numerous gear pieces that others would die for, but since there is no trading outside your group, they were garbage to me, except maybe that one stat I liked.
When it was raining great 450 GS loot prior to this patch, yeah that was a bit much, but the exact opposite now is a bit much as well. There should be a middle ground and if lowering my GS is what caused it to work like I think it should, then that is a bug. Getting a slight upgrade that works for a build you want, should be at least a daily reward, not weekly. No-one is asking for god rolled gear on every drop, so please get off your high horse.
