Upset people post on the popular forums very often saying X system sucks. Non-upset people post on the popular forums very rarely saying X system is awesome. This was true for WoW, SC2, FFXIII, ME3, and any other recent game you can fathom.
This is also why metacritic is terrible (discussed in another thread, for ME3 no less).
It's called the "Vocal Minority" for a reason. They are Vocal, and they are the Minority...

You either use the AH to advance, or you wear yourself out with 20+ minute battles, dying multiple times, and rarely getting anything to show for it. And its not like this happens here, and there. These packs show up within yards of eachother all the time. Some of the traits they have make it so you have no control over your char at all, and a few combinations are even outright impossible to beat (like Immunity with Vortex, Jailer/waller and Molten). I dont mind dying if something is in my control, like letting myself get mobbed, drinking a pot too late, etc. But when you have a system that GUARANTEES death, no matter how sick your gear is, regardless of how well you kite or tank, no matter how much dps you do, and no matter how much life you have, it really makes for a tiring experience that can lead to boredom or frustration. This is NOT what Diablo is supposed to be about. Its about slaying hordes of demons, finding, loot, and building your char until it is perfect/near perfect or playing PvP in the end game. This Rare/Champion system combined with weak loot really compromises what is otherwise a brilliant game. Will I still play it? Sure, probably. But I think nevertheless fixing this flaw would really make the game all that much better, because outside of that this game is really awesome. I really didnt want to have to use the AH but it is forced, which means I now have to focus on gold farming when I would rather be ITEM farming. Cause finding items to self build your char is much more fun (for me anyway) than having to farm gold to purchase items that are necessary to have so you can survive (somewhat) in the higher difficulties. In other words, playing a "purist" is simply out of the question if you want to make it far. I wouldn't mind using the AH as a sort of "luxury" thing to make an improvement every now and then to my char after I am lvl 60 in slots where I need an upgrade, but to HAVE TO use it, as you currently do, just doesn't seem logical to me in terms of what this game has historically been about. And what makes it worse, is that you STILL have to face those rares/champions quite often while you are gold farming, so even that is no easy matter.
Where in the game rules does it say that you can't go back to easier content and farm up your gold/gear? If you don't have the gear to tackle a certain level of content don't bitch at the developers to change it. Go back and get better gear at easier levels.
