I completely support how they've handled all microtransactions (mounts and such) in WoW, expansions, monthly fee, etc. You getting a bad feeling about it really isn't irrational at all. I'm really just saying it's okay because it follows the trends of the market, but that doesn't mean the trends are necessarily good =P. It's definitely the wave of the future though, but hopefully steps like this will make the situation among online games less chaotic. | ||

The licensing fee is really another form of control of the market, and a way to justify the extra effort to protect the community. I definitely care more about the skill changes too, I just don't like how people jump on these new payment structures so much. Yeah man I literally am so sad about the skill tree. It's almost as bad as when I lost my dog.  | ||

If Blizzard didn't support RMT you could still buy things for money like you can buy gold in WoW, so there would be no difference at all. Why are people upset? That's an interesting thought. With how they're making skills so wow-like I wonder how much soulbounding they'll be doing, since in older Diablos it was relatively non-existent. | ||

It will strengthen and keep the economy stable. Great stuff. People who are complaining don't understand the first thing about economics. There is no downside, relax. | ||

The majority of trends in gaming have turned me away from modern releases, and this is just another in a long line. Not necessarily good or bad, I just don't think they'll make things personally more enjoyable for me, and so I stick to older games, and the few modern releases that are excellent. All is well. | ||

People who are complaining don't understand the first thing about economics. There is no downside, relax. I think the majority of people complaining simply weren't aware of just how huge d2jsp was/is. From an economic standpoint, it is a great idea, and for those who support it, I see absolutely no reason to complain. Sites like d2jsp were notorious for scammers, stolen accounts, etc. Having a system designed to deal with this will only help to make it run smoother. | ||

I don't see how many of you don't see this as a Win-Win That being said, you don't have to pay shit for anything. Everything in that game is dropped, like in WoW, and much like WoW, the 'competitive' PvP is merely a title for people who like to pretend it can turn into an eSport. Diablo's PvP was never going to be truly meaningful or rewarding, just something to do in game. Lets face it, anyone who has played a hack n slash knows that hack n slash games can't ever truly be balanced. So, Hakuna matata. PS: All those complaining about the lack of skill trees, count your blessings - the rune system is twice as complicated as the skill tree in D2 - there would be no way for Blizz to work in both the skills + rune system without breaking some class in PvE or PvP. | ||

No. Hardcore characters will only have the option to buy and sell items together with other Hardcore characters via a separate "Hardcore-only" gold-based auction house; they will not be able to use the currency-based auction house. Hardcore mode is designed as an optional experience for players who enjoy the sense of constant peril that comes with the possibility of permanent death for a character. All of a Hardcore character’s items are forever lost upon that character’s death, so to avoid the risk of a player spending real money on items that could then be permanently lost when the character dies, we decided restrict the use of the currency-based auction house in Hardcore mode. " So i guess Bots who are botting for real cash, i guess they won't be there. If i understood your point (and the system) correctly. (forgive me if not, been awake all night..  ) | ||

Yeah hopefully they get control of botting. While I'm sure they have a good system in place (especially since it's online only) the AH is just going to make people want to bot that much more. | ||

I am more upset over the lack of skills/talents than the auction house, however. D3 just doesn't look like an RPG to me now. It looks like Magicka with real life money for items. | ||
