Real Money Auction House RMAH for poe

a rmah would be a deal breaker for sure hopefully more games don't get the idea to pick up this crap

No. Just no.

Another 4864396349th stupid thread about auction, better yet wake from your average MMO'ling dream.

We'll see if PoE is popular and gold farmers decide to farm here (because they won't be able to do it in D3) and everyone's here back pedal... like every other stuff they said about D3.

Because, quite franky, it sucks to have gold farmers, and what system PoE has to prevent that?
Nothing.

Not quite sure what you're on about, but what kind of bizzaro logic leads you to believe that a game with no RMAH will have a bigger problem with real money buying than a game that's friggin built around it?

Although kodr exaggerates, he's right to some degree.
Goldfarming is only effective when you have the market under controle. Goldfarmers in D2 could set their own prices, as there was no competition. (Since all the sites used high prices to begin with, the competition was based mostly on delivery speed and 'not ripping people off')

In an auction house situation your price lowers dramatically, to a point where making a business out of it is probably not the wisest.

But than, all people become gold farmers? They can still sell items on those forums where is no limittation. Or Am I worng?

You can still sell items on your own sites, sure.
But the point is, those same items will be cheaper on the auction house, so no one will buy from you.

But you can lower the prices than. Also im not talking about sites, but forums where you sell items for real money

Yes but if you lower the prices, why not just sell them on the RMAH? And the lower your prices, the less profit you make, and thus the less effective any kind of business would be.

And yeah, you can still put it on forums, but again, why would anyone buy it from a forum, with all risks involved, when you get get it cheaper on the RMAH.
