From Diablo II or FFXI, unless you had bots, you had no chance to make more than like $0.10 an hour (it takes like 5 months, 3 hours a day, of farming to get only a $100 item or something). If it's actually a decent amount, I may actually join in the game! I think after a while though (once everything is all figured out or once everyone tries to compete in sells), the amount of money potentially being made will be really small (maybe $1 an hour or less). Though who knows. It greatly depends on the ratio of buyers to sellers (obviously) but that ratio is currently unknown atm. Not only that, it depends on how whether if all items will go down in price + how often new items get added into the game. (I don't play Diablo III but there isn't anything removing items from the game in right? In WoW there was bind on equipment which means when you wear it, you can't trade it anymore. Anything for D3?) In terms of why buy items from the RMT AH? Some items may take forever to grind out in a game (for example lets say a legit non-duped "Enigma" from D2). It would take 3-5 years to obtain that item. However if it only costs like $500 (which is only 100 hours of minimum wage work, as opposed to farming for 10,000+ hours for all the runes for Engima[secretly, the drop rates for runes were that bad. Most enigmas were duped ones as the runes had a such a small drop rate]) then it's worth it to buy it using RL money (and save countless hours from farming in game) than to farm it in game. [Edit] From reading the previous page, if people are buying just any items for $15, that sounds really good actually. However, the question is (again), the ratio of seller to buyers. If everyone is trying to sell stuff, obviously the price of everything will slowly go down (everyone will try to undercut each other since their stuf is not selling quickly). If the opposite, the price stays. We'll see how things go in a week or two. [Edit 2] With the current economy IRL, I doubt Diablo III can be used as a way to make money for long. A lot of people are without jobs and if you can actually make decent money in D3 (now that is), then some people may try to invest in D3 to make money. Of course with more people coming in trying to sell items, the price of everything will go down. Eventually, you may likely only be able to make a really small amount (in D2, without bots, that was like just 10-50 cents an hour or something depending on how good you were farming). Anyway, this is just some random food for thought. | ||

Diablo 3. Honestly, that doesn't even look better. Some textures may have more detail, but overall killing monsters, monster deaths etc etc are way better done in D3, and look way more satisfying. If you like it more like that, good for you. Almost anyone could argue though that D3 uses timeless graphics and that the art team did an incredible job. We have no way of identifying the massive wrongs with other action RPG's like this one and if it's better or worse than D3. D3 got like 3 million pre orders. Obviously it looked and seemed good. We just don't know anything about these other action RPG's and if they're even better. | ||

I know first hand that 6 props definitely nets profit but was wondering because the recipes for 5 props are really cheap Nope, it sucks. Even most 6 prop sucks cause they cannot have highest dps. I've found 2 6 prop and they only sold for 400k and 1.2M I actually kept the 1.2 (6 prop source) crafted like 10-15 and lost money overall. | ||

However 6 prop armor is pretty good, especially helms and gloves (the ones which can proc the best dps abilities). I've made a few million from crafting and selling 6 prop helms. The relatively good ones sell for 1-2 million (big profit), you can recover a portion of the cost of bad ones by setting an initial bid price of 100. | ||
