That said, what a greedy so-and-so he is.

You'll find Wirt in the southwest fringes on Tristram, where he beckons you in with the promise of a rare and powerful weapon. Sure, you'd expect to pay through the nose for something like that in any situation...but then you find you have to pay him 50 gold just to even look at it?!

Granted, the further you get in the game, the more affordable that fee becomes. But at the beginning, it's downright outrageous, and you really start to wish there was a "shove it" option instead of just saying goodbye.

What's more, exploration and random weapon foraging is one of Diablo's main highlights, so giving in and paying this king's ransom will both make you poor and serve to take the fun out of the game.

Look, Wirt, we know you've been mauled by demons, but robbing us of all our coin ain't gonna grow that leg back.
