I can't believe anyone would try RMAH so soon after D3 demonstrated how it can oh, so easily turn out.

Well think about THIS:

Despite the epic, monumental fuckin FAILURE that was the D3 RMAH Blizzard made boatlaods of cash off of it; mostly because people are dumb as shit, and will pay out the ass for anything.

Hell, they're STILL making assloads of cash off their RMAH, despite the fact that literally millions of trillions of gold were duped, much of it online during livestreams, just a few months ago.

Fuck.....Just look at the idiots WHO LITERALLY PAY ***$25*** for a SINGLE League of Legends skin.

Basically --- Expect every online game that releases in the next 10 years---> FOREVER to include both microtransactions and an RMAH. Unless one of these services is SERIOUSLY DEFRAUDED (to the tune of millions of people's CC info being stolen) it won't stop.

And even then I wonder if it will, as again people are still using the D3 RMAH and not only is that game absolute garbage, but MILLIONS OF TRILLIONS OF GOLD WERE DUPED IN A MATTER OF HOURS, AND BLIZZARD DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.


TLDR? Item drops in this game are going to either suck balls, or basically be nonexistent, forcing players to use the RMAH. D3 proved that this method is a huge moneymake even in a terrible fucking game that's not even an MMO. Now just imagine an MMO where you have basically a 0.01% chance of getting a an actual item DROP, but at the same time there's an infinite number of them on the RMAH.

I think in the time I spent level my Wizard to 60 in D3 I actually LOOTED one single item that I equipped. ***ONE SINGLE ITEM*** in roughly 50 hours of gameplay. Yea, real fucking fun huh!!?!?
