"But the economy"

Sadly enough that's not the first post I've read that complains about the fact that content is actually added to the game. It's just unbelievable.

I don't really understand either why so many people are hyped about PvP's in aRPG's. Well, I do understand as D2 PvP was fun. But I don't understand why they worry so much about balance etc. in a mostly gear/build based game. When I want some "pvp action", I just log on GGPO and play ST (and even in fighting games, there are tier lists). But that's just me.

My theory is that some people are bad at PvP games and look for other sources of ego boost. Let's say Sam gets owned each time he tries to play DotA or Mortal Kombat or Star Craft or CS or whatever. Each time, he says to himself "this game is bullshit" or "I had noob teammates" or "there was a full moon". He dreams of "pwning n00bs" but he can't quite find a game where he can do it... He has the ambition and the determination, but that is paired with a rather unfortunate lack of skill. Then he sees an aRPG or an MMO and something in him knows this is the game to shine in. He is prepared to sweat 24/7, week after week and month after month, because he knows this time nothing will stand between him and his future glory. He will one day be able to walk like a god among mortals and laugh at low-level n00bs with shit itemz lol!

...and then Sam meets Rich Derpington or another, more even obsessed Sam, and gets ROFL PWNED (n00b!)

Well, I guess this game is bullshit and he should go play EndlessGrind 3, which looks very promising and the PvP there is really balanced.

Where has it been announced or confirmed that you can replace mods on items?

Go look at the teaser screenshots in the announcements. There is a picture of a blackheart with 5% cast speed.

I think the only thing we don't know at this point is how you do this, and what the repercussions are.

"Do this" might imply intent. The item might simply be created randomly as a drop. We don't know.

When you see items with 1000 eternal buyouts. And ive never ever seen one drop (here since closed beta and until recently i played 8 hours+ a day 7days/week) you have to say the economy is just screwed.

But i already accepted that a long time ago, it was inevitable.

"But the economy"

It is not only about the economy. Personally I am worried about this content in particular. I am fan of updates, I do love balance updates and new content like summoner update, but this update seem to be like a complete game changer - corrupted mod will affect gameplay very hard, and my concerns are that this impact is going to be negative.

I think most people would be disappointed if 1.1 does not change the game heavily.
I know I would be disappointed. However I have no numbers to support this thesis.

So what we have here are a bunch of "enablers".

"It doesn't affect me, so I don't care about the economy."

This "all about me" attitude is what is killing games and the rest of the world.

New players, you are not welcome to PoE at all.
