Any social things to do in game?

I recently got back in D2 and have gotten a sorc into the 80's. I have started gearing her with some pickups from MFing and Baal runs. Then I realized, I'm basically playing a single player game. I have barely encountered any non-bot player that is willing to talk or do anything other than do runs. 95% of the games made are botted runs and for trading.

What do you guys do to scratch the social itch?



Also, how do people become wealthy without botting? I hear all this stuff about jsp or fg or something. Is that how people get items? They buy it?|||Do alot of trading on these forums or just involve yourself in general and eventually you will get to know people and become d2 buddies and have fun chatting while grinding for items and doing runs together. Trying to make friends with random people on Bnet is like trying to talk to a wall 99.9% of the time.

As for how people get rich...yes there are those who acquire items that way, and some bot, however then there are people like me who spend nearly all their hours doin run after run after run and acquire items the way it was intended to, and of course alot of trading on these boards. However just because you spend enormous amounts of time in Diablo doesn't automatically mean you will get rich or acquire everything that you want, this game does not work that way and it's all random and luck based more than any other game out there really, which is why some people end up buying items and or botting completely defeating the purpose of the game.|||Posting in community (like you just did) also helps. It's pretty relaxed over here.|||What I like to do is rush low level items or give away some low/medium items. People will actually thank you for it.|||If you can stand the stinkers, you can meet some cool people pvping.|||Quote:

IIRC that's like digging thru a pile of poop to find diamonds.|||I have friends and family that I group with... also started using skype instead of in game text chatting.... YIKES! Different game, much better|||Quote:

Yeah, but then you can take the diamonds and kick the poop out of the poop with them. Anti-poop diamonds.
