Why are people moaning lol? This is the whole point of Diablo, farming items and the complete randomness of the stats they have. Without that the game would have no replay-ability what so ever. Everyone would be done with it in a week or two.

There are lower lvl armour sets. My monk is currently running around wearing the helm from Aughild's Treasured set (lvl43) after the recipe dropped for a friend of mine. Pity the rest of the set is not much use to me as a Monk and I will out lvl this fairly fast.

I'm fine with that, but with the auction house as it is, people just go on there and gear themselves up for about 50k.
Where's the challenge in that?
Sure, you're not forced to use the auction house, but at the moment it is BY FAR the best option.
This tbh.
The amount of people moaning about a Diablo game being a Diablo game.
On top of the people that are moaning that this Diablo game ISN'T a Diablo game.
People moaning that Inferno is as hard as Blizzard has said ALL ALONG how hard it would be.
Personally I am loving this game, I am having withdraw symptoms because I can't play again till tomorrow night!
Totally, but I am going to get my enjoyment from this game by not using the AH, at all.
Blizzard have just given the option for people to jump ahead faster.
I came to the realisation last night that I can buy a few bits on AH to help my character, seldom bought 3 rares for just under 10k, mainly for the HP boost.
Being a diablo virgin am absolutely loving the story line
Cannot wait to hit 60, am only 18 at the moment!! Damn life getting in the way

The thing is, everybody's moaning about the AH etc... But by end game, which probably won't take too long to get to, what you really are looking for is that ultimate item. It'll cost stupid amounts in the AH, or you can go hunting for it, or you can take a gamble on the BS...

I've stayed clear of the AH until last night near the end of Act III, I have a Barbarian with dual wielding axes and I just didn't feel like they were doing the job anymore it was taking me ages to kill enemies. I was hoping some good weapons would drop off a few of those packs but no luck so I went to the AH and grabbed myself 2 new weapons for 6k. I felt a little dirty after doing it I won't lie but I think if you've been unlucky with your drops in the game there's nothing wrong with using the AH to help yourself out a bit.
Okay so after struggling with the end of Hell (doable .. but hard), i discovered the joys of life stealing % on weapon.
Currently stealing 2.9% of damage, which with my bears spamming (yawn) build is 13-19k a hit in terms of damage, has made the rest of hell a complete doodle.

Really struggling to find anywhere that has stock of this at the moment, my mate gave me his friends pass but it means we can't play together.
Was hoping to trade in BF3 and Skyrim and get it for 99p at GAME but they haven't had stock for days, what's the betting they receive it after Friday when the promotion ends.

My reason for using the auction house is as people have said it speeds things up a bit... i do not play as often as my friends.. we completed normal together but i then had a few days off and by the time i returned they were half way through act 2 on nightmare.
I jumped in with their game and basically got 1 hitted by every single mob.. So i went on the auction house and bought myself some vitality gems.. I have basically tripled my health and can now hold my own even though my gear is still the same

I had first last night, first death 
(lagged out I tell you ) and using the AH. You can get some uber bargains with the right search parameters.
Not really got into the game yet, just done ACT1 was away on hols till Monday. All in all though things are looking good.

buying on the AH is surely no different to what trading was in d2? You find a rare that you don't need, sell it, reinvest that money in buying an item you need.
Ah yes, I know nothing of Diablo
I never played D1 or D2 to death... o wait... yes I did.The higher levels aren't impossible, you just have to go back and farm for the gear you need. Which is what most people did in D2 if they wanted to progress. You however bought your way ahead of the curve by buying top end hand picked gear instead.
That's not how I have ever played Diablo, nor do I want to start now.
Haha, if you say so.

End of the day if you want to use the AH that's up to you, I was just stating my feelings on the matter. Personally, I don't like it, and I think it ruins the fun of relying on drops and 'making do with what you have'. That's just how i've always played, and what I personally think Diablo is all about, finding the shiny shiny!
