farming vanilla content to get marks!/why?

[sleezy2]

i like how hard it is to find items. i just dont like what im farming to get it! not to mention such a waist of creating such cool inferno areas to potentially never even set foot in one

in my case i did alot of uber runs and farmed atleast about 20 fragset (got 6 sets now) and also alot of rift diablo.

so far i found no mark just 75 rift diablo with no drop and about 30 cs diablo with no drop.

so bored as hell when im farming this hard and no dice even though they are very fast run.

i'd prefer an area like pits than humping from acts to acts just to get the keys

The marks dropping is the issue, not so much the difficulty of obtaining "endgame items". It took me a bit to fully gear, but I geared. It's a matter of either farming HRs to purchase, or farming inferno areas to drop it.

I agree with Sleezy here entirely, also Savior, community is divided about this, some like the new challenge and some does not, in my opinion you can't just play vanilla content and ignore endgame, if a player want vanilla experience they will go to another private server or clasic bnet. Most of the guys here are sick of the vanilla and countless baal runs they want something new. If you want to get opinion from your community you make a poll on this, this is not first complain we got about current state of the server, few dominated the server in a week and rest still struggle with endgame.

I understand farming old content is not for everyone, but a lot of people like having the old nostalgic bosses being useful to kill again. I do have good news for you though, there is a new patch coming fairly soon with a LOT of new monsters that will definitely be worth farming. I am not blind to what the community thinks, I just cannot put out all of the content I want to at once a a one man team, but it is definitely coming. If we're lucky we should see another content patch possibly even before the end of March!

but what about all your cool inferno levels that are not even being used?? open them up, let people play them! have to do a weeks worth of work to play one level!!! crazy town. I really do appreciate all the work you have put into this game, enjoy and respect the time you put into it. I dont want it to sound like this game isnt fucking awesome. just suggestions. oh and for the nostalgic junkies they still get to farm frags!!

This is seeming to be more of the problem than anything really, people just want to see the new areas.
It's not even that they want to get the items from the area's easier, they just want to try the newer content.
I remember last ladder the one place I got to try the least was probably going to fight Tyrael.
I was obviously interested in getting an El'Druin sword because it's a cool item to get.
But getting there just to fight him was what I wanted even more than anything.
He was much easier back then, but still just being able to fight Tyrael brings joy to peoples hearts.
The only thing I can really think that would make all of this work better would be what the bosses drop.
The new end game bosses always drop something good, out of the 3-5 items? that only they can drop.
If they had more bad drops like Lich King or Dreamlands bosses they could be farmed more.
It would suck when you found a Mark or Soulstone and finally managed to kill the boss just to get nothing.
But at least you would've gotten a chance to see the new bosses and areas and experience annihilus fully.
I'm also starting to feel having items drop to get to the new areas is a bad thing because it's very limiting.
People could be enjoying farming against Belial, Cthulhu, Azmodan, Trag'Oul, Tyrael, Matheal, ect ect.
But 80% of the server at least at the moment haven't seen any of these bosses even once so far.
New players coming to the server wont get to enjoy these areas if they cant get to them.
Which leaves them to farm only the Pits, Plaguelands and Dreamlands ect. ect.
Players love going to the end game content, it's what keeps them active and happy everyday.
But if they can't see such a wide variety of the Annihilus content without struggling for days it seems pointless.
They start thinking it's out of reach entirely and then just give up.
I think getting to the areas should be easier, but getting the items the bosses drop shouldn't be as easy.
