Sorry about the late comment... But I sold D2 items to many Chinese companies back in the day... I get 3 dollars for an unidentified unique; they get double when some derp who can't play buys it.
There's no difference... Except that now it's legal and controlled and the farmers don't make as much.

"There should be a game option in D3 where players cannot join your game if they have items bought from the AH"
I can't agree more.

[url=#user_comment_71137]@Zeph[/url]: Who the fuck wants 'balanced' pvp? The best part in D2 pvp was to try to find people with bad enough judgment to engage you when you were clearly better equipped and specced to max your choice in skills where as a PVM character would be far weaker even with plenty more levels.
I was against the whole Blizzard ran AH when it was first announced. Having time to think, I really don't see what the big deal is anymore. Blizzard is just beating item/gold farmers at their own game and people will spent RL money either way. If you're upset about it say, "It's a video game"

[url=#user_comment_71076]@sheep[/url]: You know that you can play without using either AH, right? All that unneeded loot can either be sold at shops, or broken down into components for your craftsmen to make you better stuff that way. Both AH are entirely optional.

You do realize that the PvP matchmaking also takes your items into account(so that PvP is balanced even for those who buy items)... right?

First you got to subscribe to the RMT AH, then pay a fee for every item you post (sucks if you get undercut by a cent) then finally Blizz takes their sales fee if it gets sold.

Comment part 4 (I know, I'm long-winded...):
Ever played Allods Online? In the beginning, it was basically unplayable without cash because downtimes were extreme and items broke etc.
Do you see any of that in WoW? Nope. Will it be in D3? Don't think so.

Comment part 3:
Diablo, however, is simply the best Hack'n'Slay franchise there is, and Mr. Nostalgia will ensure that it stays that way. Yeah, people are going to say "Blizz killed Diablo!", but I mean, come on! Think of the item shop as the Dark Side: A shortcut to power.
Casavay

Comment part 2:
So there wouldn't be any use for the bought items. And saying that Blizzard is retarded or evil just because they're jumping on the bandwagon is a bit extreme. I can understand the situation with WoW, yes, because you already pay for it. But there's many alternatives to WoW.
Casavay

Meh. I don't care about the item shop or whatever. Diablo III is going to be fun to me whether someone from a different server has a better e-peen than me or not. I didn't rage about the Winged Guardian, and I love mounts.
Besides, I recently read that the PVP characters are premade or something.

Valve is the final bastion of good PC gaming still standing. I still hate them a bit for the Mann co. shop but they made the game free and update often. Its not perfect but, I'll take what I can dammit.

Its still bullshit.
They have all the money they could ever need to support diablo 3 just from the wow subscription fees. (and thats not looking into the money they get monthly!!! from those hopeless suckers who still play wow)
Will be buying Torchlight 2 instead.

I don't like the idea of auctionhouse in Diablo (not even talking about cash auctionhouse which just makes things worse). What made Diablo fun and replayable was finding loot. When you finally got a piece to replace a main item you were so happy...

well the RL money is just a part of the auction house so you can choose wether you use ingame currency or not and you can also buy in game currency with real life money.

The AH thing isn't what will keep me from playing mostly because I wouldn't use it except maybe to sell stuff I can't use. Even them hardly worth the trouble. What will keep me from buying and playing it is the online-only deal. I didn't play any other Diablo game online why this one?
