Could you be more condescending?
Look. The 10 million I found was in the first time I stepped in Inferno with a decent lvl 61 rare, a ring with crit and crit damage and that's all it had. I used the cash for tank barb as was the FOTM at the time. Since then, I hadn't played. Still had the shit items from then with no cash. So, I have to farm the rest of my gear since then.
I have farmed a bit recently. 45k HP, 1000 AR, 5.8 armor. 29k DPS.

My DPS is no where near enough to get myself into Act 3 deep enough to farm. Elites literally rip my face off. I don't really think it's a player issue, though admitting, I don't really want to spend 3 million each ring(which I don't even have). All the guides I have read say I need at least 35k unbuffed DPS to farm Act 3.
I have shown my profile to several people and they all say the same thing. I am stuck in between. These people advocated at least 5-7 million or 20$ dollars worth of upgrades that would allow me to farm into Act 3. I have only 2 million right now and will never use the RMAH. So please enlighten me.
I have to spend hours farming for the cash. Which would take me around 3 weeks total. As I play maybe 3-5 hours a week. I have been extremely unlucky, and was wondering perhaps I was doing something wrong. I find jack shit 99.9 of the time. ilvl 52-55 rares are common. I spent 4 hours farming this weekend, and had nothing above ilvl 61 rare. ( Yes I made sure I was doing Inferno.) So came here asking if I didn't understand something.
Understand it, I guess. Just doesn't seem like I can get past this hump without getting lucky or an extreme grind. So again, enlighten me.
