Should paragon levels be account wide?

[Capt Goodman]

from level 1 to 60

Pretty sure nobody gives a turd about that lower range of levels, especially people frequenting these forums.

For lvl 60, it is extremely worth it.

And if you're griping at the cost of leveling the blacksmith, it's pretty obvious you don't understand the benefits of the blacksmith in the long-term.

Edit: Leveling the BS all the way to lvl 10 costs the ENORMOUS amount of 593,000 gold. While you might be able to survive Hell A4, or Inferno A1 on that budget, good luck getting into the higher acts on that amount of gold.

crafting sucks
and that is a fact

Here you go.

[Greizer]

Fact = your opinion; opinions = facts presented by other people.

[Capt Goodman]

Fact = crafting doesn't have a mouth, therefore it cannot suck anything.

1) Opinion about a game mechanic. Irrelevant. I could spend the rest of the day complaining about how things should or shouldn't be, what's that gonna do? Make me out of breath, and that's about it.
2) Pretty much all my A3 viable gear is crafted, and I've made a fortune (~300m since the start of the game, and $300) crafting stuff to sell on the AH.
3) I found some planz!
4) Grand plans are cheap, especially considering the ROI.
5) I'm glad you think that, less AH competition, plz.
6) This just in, some people hate the AH. I'm happy that all but 1 or 2 of my pieces is crafted or self-found.


If you need proof a lot of my stuff is crafted by MEEE, take a gander at my monk (my main). The boots, and the ring on the left are the only AH crap I have. And I bought them on the super cheap. 250k for the boots, and about the same for the ring.

Conclusion:

Just because you don't think it's a good mechanic, doesn't mean that a large piece of the population isn't making a killing on crafting stuff.

The only part of my post that was opinion is that crafting should require a base item. The rest of what I said is fact.

I've found plans too, but only one that was "exalted grand". That's only one useful plan in approximate 500 hours of play and I'm sure not going to waste 50K gold and mats on the off chance the item will spawn with affixes and values that can replace the item I'm wearing. I'd need to get +Primary/+Vit/+AR/+Armor, at values great than I currently have. That's just not going to happen.

and then:

- "Exalted Grand", Legendary, and Set items require un-findable plans
- Last I checked, plans for "Exalted Grand", Legendary, and Set items on the AH are cost prohibitive.

So, it's a fact that plans are unfindable, but you found one! Hmm. I'm gonna guess that's not a fact then. And the 50k associated with crafting is based on perspective. When my monk goes to the bathroom, he pees out more than 50k, so it's not cost prohibitive for him. Guess what, that's not a fact either!

Please don't try crafting though, I beg you. The less people doing it, the more I can make off of you people buying stuff in the AH. Forget I ever defended it.

Facts don't exist at all.. Since everything is observed by us, subjective beings. Consensus would be a better word to use:

It is not a fact that it is Saturday, but most people agree with each other that it is Saturday...

So. Make a poll. The majority is always right.

Then again, what I just wrote is also subjective...

It's Saturday in the Netherlands?

It's a fact that all humans have squishy stuff inside their skulls.

It's an opinion that all humans have brains.

Squishy is subjective. It think it's more mooshy than squishy.
