Act I & II basically sux for gear atm, thou I have had 2 set items drop there.
Act III & IV is where the decent items drop, but its also really tough and obviously the drop rates on good rolled items is very low.

Patch 1.0.3 (expected later this month) will change that a bit thou, with iL63 having a 2% drop chance in Act I and going up with Acts.
 
After about 20 or so tries I finally downed Belial solo with my Wizard on Hell difficulty. Heck, I even got the Good Eye chieve (Kill Belial without getting hit by his projectile or meteor attacks.) .. Naturally, nothing decent drops, but once again, the feeling of eventually getting him down was unbelievable! Woot!

I picked up my second legendary recently too (level 50 Lacuni Prowlers). They weren't that amazing and the stat rolls were about 60 strength and other stuff, which is not that awesome. Put em on the AH for 500k thinking nothing of it. Sold within 2 hours. I now have nearly 1M gold and am level 58/59. Woot.

Also, I still can't believe the amount of hatred this game is getting overseas and lately esp in SA. Every time anything slightly negative happens, people lose their shit and yell from the rooftops. Its getting so tiring to try find some good content on D3 online and only finding complaints, complaints, complaints, complaints and complaints. I guess consumers are allowed to complain but give it a break now.

Example of epic complain: "i have played 250 hours and there is NOTHING left to do!!! this sucks. FU blizz". Really bro?

(this is not pointed at anyone in particular, just a general trend i have noticed)

I think it's related to a number of highly contentious decisions which Blizzard made (which can be seen in the light of dictating to the customer what he/she should want) and people don't really agree with them, they just sort of live with them. When something then goes wrong it reaches boiling point a whole lot faster.
 
Well I think the reason people are getting pissed off is because some people have spent 150+ hours on the game and they are yet to drop anything decent, where there are other people that have spent half that and dropped insane weapons/items. They also seem to bitch about how some people exploited a bug (One on siegebreaker comes to mind) then only a week after that they reported it once they made enough $$ from it. So the bug gets fixed but the player/s who exploited is fine, he gets to keep the 50m gold and item drops that he got illegally.

Im also starting to get a little pissed off, im sitting on 6m at the moment and I have a beast of a DH (90k+ Dps) yet the drops im getting are crappy..even in Act 3/4 Inferno..i have dropped some decent items but pretty much 98% of the drops are shit.

I dropped a nice item yesterday after farming nearly 3 hours..and it was my 1st awesome drop in awhile as well.


The reward/s are not good enough...some people spend 18 hours farming straight and still don't drop anything decent.

That's what the main issue is.

Edit: Another issue are the pathetic Legendary stats...I have managed to drop 3 Legendary weapons, all lvl60 and all shit...sad part they were hard drops xD Inferno Act 4 elite drops...took ages and again the reward was shit.

I'm reasonably happy with Diablo 3 and still really enjoying it. I don't like the brick wall of Act 3 for melee (without spending craploads on the AH) & item drops per Act, but that I hope and think that will change in 1.0.3

Jumped onto my Wizard last night (haven't played her in some time). Joined a new 60 friend (also a Wizard) and we proceeded to clear Act I Inferno as 2 Wizards. Loads of fun and all the "kite like a boss" comments made my night.
 
The constant disapointment of picking up items thats 10 to 15 levels lower than what you are, is starting to get to me.
 
Thought I'd share what just dropped for me in Act 3. Works quite nicely on my Barb :)

I think a part of the reason why the loot just feels like absolute crap is because they made the weapon the alpha and omega slot. It doesn't really matter how great the rest of your gear is without a good weapon your dps will only be average. However average gear with a great weapon will give you good dps. This essentially means that most of the gear drops won't provide the required satisfaction, and only a great weapon will be able to.

I appreciate that this is different once you hit inferno and certain other stats become more important. But I feel that the middle section (Nightmare and Hell) of the game has been seriously neglected. I really hate it that they "WoWified" Diablo, in such a way that you can reach the maximum level within a week or two. I will be shedding a tear when I hit 60 because it will be the first Diablo game ever (and I have played every single one of them) where the level limit has become an issue, and I spent months and months on the previous ones.
 
The way your entire character's damage scales off a single slot is pretty broken, it also lets the designers get lazy by just throwing high dps weapons around in Inferno with relatively little base stat increases. As a Barb I now have less Str and Vit doing Act II Inferno than I did when I finished Hell but because my weapon is much better I'm doing double the dps.
 
Point and case, last night I replaced a couple of items. On one of the other slots I picked up an awesome item that more than doubled all of my current items' stats. The net result was an increase in DPS of about 150 on 7000 - 2%

Later on I replaced my 419dps 1-hander, with a 450dps 1-hander. The difference between them is only 7.4%. But my DPS jumped to 12k from 10k. A massive 20% increase for a 7.4% better item:wtf::eek:
 
Yeah tons of stuff up for max price (EUR 250), then again also a bunch of stuff up for $1.25 which considering the $1 list fee means the seller would only make 25c (R5.30).

I would Sell 40+ items at a reasonable price max 5 Eur, and profit.
