Legit Item?

Legit Item?

I was offered a magic 30/20 bone shield with two pdiamonds in it (58 priz) :shocked: for my real nice mesh boots. It would be a pretty awesome shield for my sorc, but had my reservations about trading for it since i'm pretty sure it was socketed via the act 5 hack.) Would using a shield like that make me not legit? oOpinions would be useful as the trade could still be made.

Re: Legit Item?

there is no way to get a double socked magic shield via a cube recipe - the only way is via the lazaeuirik or w/e spelling quest via act5 exploit.

my thoughts, not an endorsement, just an explanation. there are many questionable rares that have been socked over the past 8 months. one can surmise that most/many are act5 socks as well. if you sleep better at night having gotten those items for cheap, but still call yourself legit but look down at someone that acquires magic/set items that have been socked then good for you. I won't call you a hypocrite for thinking like this, but you may want to take a long, strong look at yourself and head over to www.m-w.com and look up the term's definition. *shrug*

I don't lose any sleep at night over a game, or over what people think of me for how I play the game.

I don't personally use the various hacks. You can argue that I support the market for it in the past as there are times when I have employed the use of obvious act 5 gear due to a limitation on the availability of more desireable rares (which I can afford) and/or superior mods that result. (such as 30/20 blocking and 58 rez)

I enjoy the pvm game, and/or helping people out via being the cs slut on my din, or via rushing - it's just the catharsis I get out of the game.

I still honestly wish that blizzard would sanction act 5 and level the playing field between the "haves" and "have nots" by making socket quests, and insane xp available for one and all. it's been proven that classic characters survive, and thrive in act5 without the use of overpowered runes, exceptional/elite items and such. I should note that this wish isn't crying over being 'poor' - I've never had a real problem acquiring mass wealth on ladder in very short order, and it isn't/hasn't been from act5 haxoring and selling illegitimate items.

Non legit, as all said above. The game isn't hard to beat legit , so stick to it i'd say.

btw goomba, i find larzuk also a very hard name to remember

having only played xpac for a total of two days I'm actually surprised that I remembered even close to a proper spelling. :grin:

indeed the game is easy to beat, and even flourish completely legit.

having experienced the extreme frustration of at one point holding in excess of 9 sojs, and three godly "hats" (fhr/life/rez warhats, brown bhelms, caps) and still unable to find a reasonable din shield for example can be frustrating however.

that, and I can't help but do a "wonder if..." like last ladder when I had that 4 pskulled armor :grin:

for what it's worth, I have not ever put the act5 items I have acquired - "back out on that market" or profitted from them - and as little as I PvP (and I never hostile first) nobody has suffered from my hands due to A5 use.

/end of trying to justify my experimentation with it :laugh:
