Diablo 3 Podcast #102: Public Game Leeches, Economics, and Hardcore DH Follies  @Diablo3Inc
Uploaded July 2013 | Updated September 2026, 1 day ago
Flux, Xanth, and Aahz talk about getting started in Hardcore, public game leech problems, selling unidentified legendaries, the lust for better in-game stats, and Demon Hunter squishiness.

This is part one of the show. Part two will be posted later this week.

0:20 -- Intro and Xanth's B-day and Aahz's anniversary highlights.
2:30 -- Recent Diablo 3 play stories. Aahz's terror of just getting into Inferno Hardcore and Hardcore public games: to leech or to carry? Xanth debates the ethics of vote kicking leeches, and wishes for better game creation/joining controls.
17:30 -- Demon Hunter squishiness debate led Flux to try Demon Hunter again, with predictable results. The value of playing an alt for a palate cleanser.
24:45 -- Xanth's charity efforts for new HC players,
28:30 -- Economic issues. Aahz's hopes for a B-club item sale, Xanth's steady march towards the B-club, economic changes over time. Why do Tomes of Secret still cost so much in Hardcore?
39:40 -- The temptation of unidentified item selling. How to price the value? Gold up front and hope for a jackpot, or for personal use?
47:50 -- Keeping detailed records of your play. Auction sales, item prices, experience gain per run by time, etc. Do many players keep such records? None of the podcast guests do, but are slightly envious of those who do. More stats displayed in-game would be awesome.
52:10 -- What if EHP displayed in the game? Would undervalued stats like blocking percentage be more coveted? DPS is often a lie. Better stats wanted.
