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 feel that the AH goes against the spirit of the game. "Just don't use it" isn't a valid response in my mind. The fact that it's there ruins any sense of progression I get in these types of games. What is the point of farming when I can just get it with the click of a button and some gold/real money? I dislike it. I realize that you could buy D2 items as well through 3rd party sites, but I really don't like how it's official now.
I still dislike the itemization, but they have really come a long way and are making great strides to fix it. The Legendary item buffs were a welcome change for sure.
As much as I dislike the game as it sits right now, I have to give credit to Blizzard for taking such big steps to fix it and actually listening to what people want. I feel that once the first expansion hits, this game will be what it should have been at launch.
