Diablo 3 : real money auction house - confirmed

thread lock request because you are tired of talking about it? there are plenty of people all for the RMAH system. it's a discussion forum. if you're tired of reading about it just don't open the thread.

Good point to the runeword.

I quite like the cash-AH idea - gives finding loot a new "high" - holy #$*& I found a rare item worth $200!

Still in development, so can't really critque until I get my hands on it. Considering how long I played d2 and what I've seen so far, I trust Blizz will deliver. They havn't dissapointed me yet, perhaps its due to all the terrible games ive played...

When you find a digital item "worth" $200... you need to re-evaluate why you are playing the game...

Well thats you then dude. I cared a hell of alot. It made me quit after playing for 2 years. The trading system just got owned and ended up getting turning into real money trading. I already bought the game I dont want to be forced to pay more money to be the best.

Its almost like blizzard are putting d2 fans through an endurance test by seeing how much they can piss them off before they decide they dont want to buy the game anymore.

Hello...new to Paths here thanks to Blizzard succeeding in pissing me off just to much, and thankfully I am not alone. In fact it was other people who have suggested this game in numerous threads elsewhere that I decided to take a look. And you know what? This game looks more like what D3 should be.

I would like to add something that I saw commented here, and elsewhere. While it is true that early on people could buy and sell items on Ebay, back when Blizzard actually bothered with anything they did stop (for a short time) the selling of items. I can't say if this was the cause, but it did seem as if the item selling shops did spring up after they stopped Ebay. But since Blizzard did in fact stop really giving a damn about D2, even Ebay selling managed to start again for a while (and may even still exist).

The real pisser here that has been mentioned elsewhere much better is that Blizzard never really made attempts to stop those item selling shops. For them to now turn around and include this is beyond hypocritical. But alas it is really just nothing more than the final nail in the coffin for me. Too much negative, not enough positive for me to have any more interest in that game. Here is to hoping Paths here turns out to be a great game.

I'll drink to that.

I do recall reading a bliz quote before that said something to the effect of *in WoW we don't sell items, only mounts and such that don't give players an advantage*

Now, a few days ago they said *well Diablo is primarily co-op and since we're not gonna balance pvp anyways, it's not really giving anyone an advantage since there will always be the few overpowered builds*

Of course not actual quotes- can't be bothered to find them, but that's really the kind of crap that pisses me off the most.

I'm also aggravated at the skill on/off system, and only 3 passives at a time.. but that's mainly because it was a last minute change and a cop-out of finding a decent solution to the skill tier/respec problem.

You know Blizzard is doing us a HUGE favor though, they are saying, "don't buy this game, we have absolutely no control over what goes into it! Please for God's sake let it fail so the executives will listen to the developers who might defecate on the players either way so they could build a "better" less WoW-like game!" Either they are morons or they want it to fail to teach someone above them a lesson about screwing developers over... I've heard some bad tales about how Blizzard treats it's programmers.

'Pictures Blizz henchmen whipping programmers and poking them with hot prods'

Or possibly approaching them from behind, kneeling down besides them at their desk and slowly working their hand up and down the programmers thigh, whilst whispering softly "you better not tell".

On topic though, Diablo 3 has been disappointing ever since they started making cuts to their game formula which were actually liked. Like the Attributes points at first always had me on the other side of the fence, then they go ahead with all this other shite and turn it into a WoW clone.

Luckily I discovered this game, as well as Grim Dawn and Torchlight 2 will easily fill my hack n slash void that was ripped away.
