Diablo 3 tests doubling Legendary drop rates
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 28, 2012 6:45am PDTBlizzard recently revamped Legendary items in Diablo 3, but that doesn't do too much good if they're still super-hard to find. So, as part of the ongoing public beta testing of patch 1.0.5, Blizzard is now experimenting with doubling the drop rates of Legendary and Set items.
Yesterday's update to the Public Test Realm brought the drop-o-change along with more balance tweaks, skill changes and a handful of bug fixes.
Of course, this being a test patch, the change might not stick or, who knows, the drop rate could even raised higher yet. So, would it please you to see Legendaries become more common, or is the scarcity part of the allure?

I like being about to just buy the map, seriously FUCK farming for shit so I can go farm.
but I think TL2 should probably also have a limit to the number of times you can fail the map. There is no incentive to not graveyard zerg.
