There's a point where market convenience starts outcompeting solo farming. When (and I still can't fathom how some of you apparently find one after the other awesome rare, according to those accounts up above) I'm currently on my third character, which is now level 39 or 40 and I have a barb that's lvl 52 or 3 or 4 and my previous, but dead, Witch Doctor, which was lvl 59 pre-nerf (screw you lag) and mostly 3-man-sustained (with 3 people playing mind you), that haven't been able to find anything useful for a sum of about 150 levels (I forgot my Wizard, lvl 48).
So there comes the term unlucky again. But we all know, even the fiercest fanboi of Diablo III knows this, that it's the main argument against the game in its current form. Everyone I talk to, that's not wearing blinds, quickly got tired of never getting anything useful from drops.
Noone is saying that everything should just automatically drop.
Granted, some might have finished it, but I could go out and collect all those forum posts back then, about how they had to run back to town and reroll the host to get better mob packs. If the game would have one single instance of content, without variety, no one would have been able to get past an elite pack of mindflayers.
