It is your general rule, not the general rule. If you don't want to use either AH, and you do want to play with the Blacksmith along the way, you'll need lower level mats as well.

I don't know whether it applies to Occhi's case (and your chart probably answers his question better) but I do think it's fair to say that people *in general* still playing D3 use the AH at least this much. Very fast to buy or sell mats as desired. It's certainly a rule that has much wider adoption than Archon_Wing.

Heck these days I don't even salvage all 61+s, the mats ain't worth what they used to be.

Sorry, but that is again a generalization of info you don't have. You can't know how many are "still playing", however frequently, and you don't know how many of those actually use either AH, whether for mats or equipment or both. It feels that must be the case because that is what you do, and probably those you play with. That is not everyone. The problem with such a generalization is the implication that it is the right way and, if you aren't doing that, you are wrong.

Can you tell this is a pet peeve? I hate it in real life, not just in gaming. Heck, one of the foundations of this site is D1 variants. They were not how people played *in general* but they certainly weren't wrong.
