The drop rates of elite items has been changed. It's now possible to get
elite items through regular playing, particularly the elite sets. The
entire economy has also changed because of new runewords. Pul runes are
now currency, for instance, and uber runewords are attainable with some
savvy trading. There is an economy, it's just a very different one than
before (trading 40 perfect gems for puls then trading puls and ums for
vexes and jahs or whatnot is relatively normal).

These days, nobody wants a Windforce though. With the release of 1.10,
the entire way in which we played and the most desirable character
classes have changed. 

Uber Tristram is a challenge, though not an insurmountable one. It's
good fun.

These days, 0t (who coincidentally brought up your name in the past few
weeks as it popped into his head), my sister, my hubby, and I play once
a week. We played a few teams, a motley crew of puritans and are now
doing puritan scorching paladins who are struggling in Hell because of
their craptacular gear, but that's the way we like it. We have other
characters with good gear, but where's the fun in that? ;-) 

0tarin, my sister and I defected to Guild Wars because we're too cheap
to pay monthly fees. Also, we're mainly gaming to chat (now via Skype, I
know what the great and powerful wombat stuffer sounds like) and goof
off. We are, as always, Carl. We have our own neglected web site where
we attempt to bestow our philosphy on others whether they want us to or
not. http://the3carls.blogspot.com/

And, hello stranger. :-) I haven't been posting or reading AGD and only
popped by today.

We'll all be back for Diablo 3.
