MXC…. my friend. There are people who enjoy “playing” the auction house. You happen to know at least two. Being able to buy and sell “power” has not affected you adversely and should not deter you from engaging with people who have.

Really? That sounds terrible. My enthusiasm for the game just plummeted.

I just hope Diablo 3 doesn’t turn into the bad joke that Diablo 2 became. Diablo 2 ended up so full of botters and spammers that I just uninstalled it and threw my copy in the trash. To top it all off, Diablo 2 wasn’t even a co-op game to begin with. The drop system was so bad that it ended up being a game of fight/argue/use automation to get the drop before your “teammate” does. Fortunately Diablo 3 will have a better drop system…but I’m going still going to wait at least a few months after the release to get it, just so I’m sure that it doesn’t turn into another item seller’s and botter’s paradise.

Diablo 3 has no real single-player mode at all as everything is ‘connected’ or ‘social’.
So it’s not a “tacked-on PVP mode” but more likely a “tacked-on single player campaign”.

By encouraging others to sell power for them. With a fee to use the service, a fee to post your item, a fee to acknowledge that someone bought you’re item, and a final fee to put the money on your Paypal account.

Well, Diablo 2 was a pretty mindblowing LAN game at the time. Like the Serious Sam of dungeon crawlers. If D3 manages to do the same thing on the Internet, then sure, people will shit money on Blizzard (again).

The people who used real money for ingame items in WoW knew the risks, and they did it anyway due to their own impatience. They brought it upon themselves.. What Blizzard is doing is encouraging that now instead of frowning on it like they did only a year or so ago.
