I've seen some of the complaints on this thread and thought maybe it was only a vocal few, but wow seems like almost no one is playing this game now.

Was patch 1.03 really that bad? I'm kinda scared to fire up the game now lol.
I thought it was bad at first, but to be fair I think it isnt bad, but it does make a drastic change that I wasn't ready for.

Repair costs are brutal, but because of that money sink and the fact that better items are dropping in lower Acts, everything on the AH seems to be dropping in price.

You don't earn money as fast, factoring in repair costs, but you don't need to spend as much on the AH. Since I have never really had a ton of money, once I actually had to stop my progress in a quest (Kulle is enraging and insta-killing me when he is about 10%) to go farm money to have enough for repair costs. Turns out my DPS wasn't high enough, so I have been farming Act 1 for the past couple days to tweak my gear.
