All d3 fanboys wanting AH, Blizzard shutting AH down

ROFL took them long enough to work it out!!

often people need a better example in order to improve.
POE, building society!

ya the people wanting AH, I never understood them. WHY? Have they played D3? AH completely ruined it. But when I quit that game, everything they did and the entire game revolved around being AH dependent and it was obviously a ploy to try and get people to use the RMAH for increaed profits. That's why no loot would drop, your loot was on the AH, don't the gold? but you have a credit card! want to advance? use it!

It's step in the right direction for that game. But this game still shits on it. An AH would be very detrimental to this game. But that's not saying that somehow, trading could be improved. It could be something else. I'll leave that up to the creative minds.

PoE has the same problem tho. Trading (flipping items) is way more efficient at getting richer than playing the game.

You are not seriously comparing a in beta game to one that is out for more than a year?

GGG has plenty of time making things better.

Yup, 6 weeks(?) left out of the 6 years, before release to turn this game from a shopping game to a loot finder. Plenty of time.

sounds like a good reason to get the expansion

good job i'm one of the few people in the world to have a hard drive big enough to have poe and d3 installed on it at the same time

Blizzard going in for the PoE kill.
After D3 I wasn't going to buy anything Blizzard again, but all these updates combined with PoE's desync are rendering me weaker by the day.

That.

This may be evidence that Blizzard is taking GGG seriously.

Blizzard doesn't care in the slightest about GGG. Never has and never will. Its simply ignorant to think otherwise.

I've always had a feeling, a bad feeling, that Blizzard is laying in the weeds, waiting to see if POE becomes successful or not ($).

I could see them launching some form of IP lawsuit, loosely based on D2. Of course POE is different than D2, but there are a lot of similarities, more than enough for Blizzards legal team to latch on to, like a dog with a bone. Even if they got some form of injunction to delay release it would be a "win" as it would kill POE.

Remember, legal actions do not have to have merit to be launched.

Yes, I know NZ is not USA...certainly helped Kim Dotcom didn't it?

Anyway, I hope nothing like this this ever happens, and I am not wearing any hats, tinfoil or otherwise.

All of you fanboys jumping for joy over this, thinking this is some sort of win for the horrible trading we have in this game, need a reality check. Blizzard is changing the loot drops in 2.0, they are making it so you can actually play the game and find your items, that was not really possible before, hence the need for the ah.

Poe rely's on trading just as much as d3 for the ah because the drops in poe suck. So blizz is taking away the ah, but you will now be able to find your own shit, thats great. What is GGG doing? Drops suck in this game to make people trade,dont take this as a win as trading in a chat channel is better then having a ah, if people were finding there own shit they wouldnt have used the ah as much in the first place, IMO GGG needs to learn from this, and change the drops to not rely so heavily on trading.



Seriously the level of fanboy that this game has produced is staggering.
