They have to be mutually exclusive because the RMAH destroys fair competition in PvP and PvE, thereby reducing fun for people who take the game seriously. It would be equivalent to buying better units with more HP and damage in SC2. Sure, you don't need to do it to win, but if you don't you are less likely to win, and if your a competitive player, such as a GM player, you will be obligated to buy it to stay competitive, or risk playing handicapped. Then of course there will be people treating this like the share market, running statistical models and trading algorithms, turning the "game" into nothing but an unscrupulous profiteering opportunity. The only way one can have "fun" in Diablo 3 is if one treated the game as seriously as Super Mario Galaxy with friends, and played it for this reason only. | ||

I had a lot of fun trading in Diablo 2. If there wasnt an AH in the game Im sure I would use a different website to help me out with it anyway. Diablo 2's fun was all in the trading really but so many people were afraid of it. I assure you that if you get used to the feeling of trading items you will enjoy the game more than ever. | ||

No. You can't get better units on your own, no matter how many games you play. You can play enough Diablo and compete with anyone. If you think that there won't be competitive people who haven't spent a cent, you're delusional. Blizzard should really just drop Korea from the global release. If they're going to be a huge pain in the ass that's their problem, their release can be separate from everyone else. | ||

God I always had a hard time trading. People just kept waiting and waiting for me to give them more in exchange... That was like talking to a retarded kid about his stupidity... And don't get me wrong I always gave enough stuff in exchange. And I mostly traded low-end gear, so wasting so much more time for a stupid PGM is ridiculous x_x. AH will solve all my problems regarding trading. Anyway, to the topic. I can't think of any game that was released 2-3 weeks after the release date reveal. And I don't really believe in this whole conspiracy theory about Bashiok being this evil guy, or an uninformed guy. Midnight release in some shops sounds fishy though, so... after all I hope I'm wrong. | ||

Non forum trading is as retarded as it sounds. | ||

Without RMAH ppl will turn to D2JSP anyway which is even worse for the game overall imo. | ||

Again, I understand we want to be upset and don't know what to be upset at (and picking a random thing seems a good outlet for it) - but does this strike anyone else as somewhat ludicrous? I understand the shareholders were told the launch would be global - but if the launch was less than global and still made hundreds of millions of dollars, I doubt the shareholders would flee in droves because the company lied to them. "Alright guys, I know we've been funding this project for nearly 10 years now, and we're definitely set up to make hundreds of millions of dollars right now - but let's just give Korea another 6 months to a year to make sure they're on board with this." In a corporate environment where the earnings for the current year (or in some places, the current quarter) tend to be the only item of importance (and also, the main factor in determining bonuses for these executives we seem to want to believe enjoy keeping the game from us), can anyone explain why this idea possibly makes any sense at all? Because they still get insane revenue from WoW subs every month... and if I was them, I would be worried about that taking a HEAVY hit when diablo 3 comes out... and that's why 'game ain't ready yet'.... The problem with Korea is a minor bump nothing more.. the real delay is a business decision by blizzard... /tin foil hat on | ||

There is always something to perfect. I'm usually patient with developers and like when they take their time. But diablo 3 has taken this to a whole new level. The game was announced almost 4 years ago. That is way too long ago. I hope Blizzard will never announce games that early again. I like that there is no word of Titan out yet despite there is "evidence" that the game has been "worked on to some degree" as of 2007. | ||

Nor is there anything to suggest the reason they are delaying the game is because of this conspiracy theory you've given. | ||
