You must have a very strange definition of "scam". Everything about the auction house is being disclosed up front. Everybody knows what's involved going in. Noone is being decieved or defrauded in any way.

But no one is forcing anyone to use RMAH, and we are in the forums of PoE talking about how negative is the "always on internet requirement"..... is this logical?

From my perspective, something smells funny about it. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I don't have to pay $60 for POE, and so far, GGG seems to have better support than Blizzard.

"But no one is forcing anyone to use RMAH" Blizzard will like ensure that to have decent gear for your level, you will have to use the RMAH. They have a financial incentive to do so.

Why? Diablo 3 has no monthly fee no point to not own and play both games.

This game will have less content since it is an indie developer. So, when feeling bored here you can play D3 if you have it.

Never understand why people assume that you must choose one game only.

I put money into this, D3 and Torchlight 2 as well as GW2.

Always good to have choices what to play when bored with one or the other.

For those of us who were disappointed by D3 after waiting a decade or so for something... Different from what it ended up being (and not to judge those who like the game), it's not a matter of having to "choose one game only," but a matter of not being satisfied enough with D3 as it stands to play it, at all. ='[.]'=

But realy tell me, did you at least played the D3 beta? or your disappointment comes from youtube videos or reading about it? and if you played the beta are you disappointed from a beta - tutorial of a game that you waited for a decade? im not aggresive or anything i realy wanna know why all this fast conclusions about D3.

I finally managed to get some time with Path of the Exile and after one night of playing my Diablo 3 pre-order is no more.

I haven't been keeping up with the forums here or over at camp Blizzard but I just have to say that to me this is the real Diablo 3. Very easy to see what the goal was when developing PoTE and where the inspiration comes from. As a Diablo 1 and 2 fan I just have to say thank you.

As a customer I just want to say please do not make this game pay to win. I know this game is releasing under f2p and that is fine but I would really like to keep this game on a level playing field.

As for real money auction halls and all that garbage well, let Blizzard have there million farmers logged in and botting all night. We'll stay over here and play games for fun like they were meant to be played and developed.

Again thank you for this game. I really do apreciate how much time and effort has gone into this to make it what the players have been asking for since D2.

I don't have to explain my reasons any further to you, or anyone else who won't accept them.

And that's a big part of the problem I have with you, Tagek, and a number of others who still keep the PoE/D3 debate stirred up on a PoE forum: No matter what reasons any of us gives for not caring for D3, you won't accept them. No amount of reasoning will ever satisfy you, because, simply put, you like D3, thus, you cannot fathom why we don't.

Nor do you care. It's not about our reasons; it's all about the debate. When I'm writing about my personal experience waiting for and being disappointed in D3, I'm not addressing you lot. I'm addressing other folks who might actually be interested in what I have to say, rather than folks who simply (as you have done in this post of yours) trivialize and denigrate my decision as somehow flawed, because it doesn't meet with your world-view.

I've seen your other posts, and how you treat other posters, Erevos. You're quite capable of being aggressive.

Bait not taken. ='[.]'=

Diablo always was about random loot is just... naive to think that Blizzard will do what you implying.

I too cancelled my D3 pre order... For a few reasons

1. The graphics didn't impress me at all. Too cartoon-ish. I also don't like how the game adds stats for me, it's very dumbed down.

2. It's $60 and unfinished, no pvp? Really? When I pay $60 for a game I expect polish, like BF3 or arkham city. Not only is it $60 but they're making money off the auction house.... And still, only half a game so far lmao
