User blog:Danrr/Bashiok on dyes, gambling, graphics and sockets

Today, Bashiok replied to a couple of threads giving more info on how dyes and the new socketing system using Artisans work and answering concerns about the graphic quality of in-game models. The Diablo III community manager also mentioned that Gambling may be replaced by high level crafted items with few or no fixed attributes, though a gambling system may appear in the game. He also revealed that Leonard Boyarsky has written the majority of entries in Abd al-Hazir's journal, though other people have also contributed.
