Legacy items

So why are you comparing yourself with a guy who doesn't have a life, job, etc. ?

Because I was upset by the nerf, obviously. And GGG don't want to upset people by nerfs, that's why they keep legacy items, right?

It's about how much you've invested to acquire the item.

As nexuscz mentioned, it was easier before to get those items that are legacy now. Actually, now you have to work harder only to get less.

When the gems came out they certainly weren't 1 Alchemy, but alright, it's irrelevant anyway.

Cost me alch nevertheless.

I guess. After all, they don't nerf existing items and they give respecs when they change passive tree a lot. Why they nerf gems freely then?

@OP

Asked same question few days ago.

It's a technical issue. It's not that easy to change items that already dropped and are somewhere in use/stashes.

Having op items still in the game is not ideal, but as they are limited by numbers, it doesnt matter too much.

What I don't understand is uniques exclusive to leagues that no longer drop. Any discharger wants the voll amulet but have fun ever trying to get it.

The point of the permanent leagues is not to have a place where the game is balanced, but to have a place where your stuff is immune to the regular purges which are a natural part of balancing the game.

This is total BS. Standard will get all changes that the 4 month leagues get accept for some legacies.

In all seriousness if GGG didn't balance gems in standard and just let it run wild I would quit the game.

Then you should also believe in fairy tales and Santa Claus.

These what you called are somewhere sorry just LOL:D is actually physically stored in database which you can run query on to change everything it's just matter of time to computer finish the updating database based on your command :)

I know you can argue i do not have internal knowledge of game but this is general knowledge.

I am surprised they did fool you because legacy items simple cannot be technical issue.

Excellent reason.

Apparently, GGG have said differently.

But...
Many, many people were grinding/flipping for months to acquire the item, at that point, GGG couldn't have nerfed the items without losing a big chunk of current base (the most "loyal" ones, supporters, etc.) then and would suffer in increase of players in the future because of that, how and why?
Not hard to come by, I personally wouldn't save for any unique that would cost 5+ ex, in fear it's getting nerfed, and that's not the way a game should be played.

How was it easier to acquire 25+ ex? In fact, it was 2-3 times harder, because 25 ex then is 50-75 ex now (through chaos to ex ratio).

Do you have a proof that says Soul Taker back then was dropping more frequently than Soul Taker now? Or any other legacy unique.

They have reduced the chancing probability, I know that.

But in the end, now you're working less for a weaker item.

Cost me alch nevertheless.

So, you're whining about your alchemy but you want others to "lose" dozens of exalts? Nice.

NO U :)

How was I exactly catching by straws?

Yup, that's the real reason, I guess. Not some technical issue.

And what do we have now? They say Aegis Aurora could be nerfed soon, so people starting to buy it like there is no tomorrow for ridiculous prices. You think it's a very healthy economy?

Nuff said, really.

Yet they lose nothing, while I lose my gem. Unfair.

Same question to you.

Who cares? It's a PvE game where there are no DPS meters, no Healing meters, no competition for raid spots, only exists in one "DYING LEAGUE" (yet freakin shit tonnes of threads about a league apparently nobody plays in), extremely limited in number and are in the hands of people you will most probably never party with.

What's your issue again? It affects you in 0 ways.

Wait a sec, we about to get a decent pvp system. We even have a pvp section in our forum profiles already.
