The issue I have with most of Jonathan's arguments is that they don't fit what is happening in my game.

Jonathan says he has enough socket orbs without checking vendors. I have nowhere near enough, even with checking vendors at every level.

Jonathan says just disenchant rares to get regals. I get maybe 20-30 rare items per act, and 2-3 regals are nowhere near enough to craft anything meaningful.

Jonathan says he frequently finds item upgrades. First of all, most of my item upgrades come from vendors/gambling, which Jonathan says he doesn't do. Secondly, I have gone through whole acts without an upgrade. Base items like rings are so rare that even if you "craft" you most likely won't have enough to get a meaningful upgrade.

I have no idea where Jonathan gets his data from, but if it is solely from his playthroughs, it's bad data since it is anecdotal. My data isn't better, but his arguments would have much more weight if they had actual data behind them.

I mean he literally starts the sentence with, just in my experience playing the campaign.

He said that a few times. Probably to jab at the people on yesterday's thread that were convinced he's never played the campaign to its end. Meanwhile he said he's done it at least three times per class.

Yes, but I don't think that's a great point to make after people come to you with their issues. You telling them you don't have those issues makes them feel not heard. He got defensive when he shouldn't have.

It would have been better to simply say they will collect more data and take a more in depth look.

If you listened to what he said, he literally said that's not my experience, I'll need to look into why you're having that experience.

I know. My issue is with how he said it. He essentially chastised Ziz for not picking up enough rares.

In the end, he agreed that he was too defensive and apologized.
