I mean really guys, doing it for RMAH profit? The amount blizz made on RMAH in that one day is a drop in the ocean of their company and its reputation. | ||

I mean really guys, doing it for RMAH profit? The amount blizz made on RMAH in that one day is a drop in the ocean of their company and its reputation. They would have upset a lot of people who effectively played for a day for nothing sure, but now there is just so much dirty gold floating around the economy. There is no way they can trace all of it, and even if they could, it would only be punishing innocent people who somehow found it in their possession, be it from gem sales for example. | ||

there are no ladder resets and no losses of goods (items) when someone dies. SC is lame and boring. I cannot understand people play this game seriously on SC and enjoy it xD | ||

EG - say I spent $20 on items in the rmah during this crisis and blizzard decides to go ahead with a sever rollback. I would lose everything I purchased. How would I get my $20 back? Blizzard won't absorb those losses because of the all mighty dollar. And when enough players get pissed off that they were robbed of their money because of the server rollback you would get lawsuits against blizzard. Blizzard has been dealt an ugly hand and they are screwed no matter how they go about fixing this. They will choose the path that is the least expensive because when blizzard created the rmah they made a deal with the devil. | ||

It would have been easiest to just shut down the servers and do a rollback the moment they decided to shut down the AH, but it's way to late for that now, hopefully they can track down all the laundered gold. | ||

They saw the economy was crashing and they took advantage of it. They haven't done anything wrong. That gold's going nowhere. Why not? They can always reverse those transactions as well, just like any other transactions, unless the gold has been spent. Maybe something as simple as "if a transection is > 1M, reverse". Take away the gold, and give the players the emeralds back. Whether a rollback would have been an easier solution, I do not know. But both of these have their drawbacks. | ||
