Dude you're not seeing the big picture at all. This is something that should not be a part of games period. And when people were buying shit for real money from Korean websites they had to go out of their way to do it and risked getting banned/suspended for doing so. At least thats how it used to be before Activison took over.
Now its going to be some legitimate operation thats right there in your face as you play. And if you think this auction system for real money is going to benefit the actual players I am going to disagree with that. This system they're putting in benefits two things: Blizzard and companies that are going to bot this game into the ground. I mean at first I was kind of looking forward to this RMAH shit, then I woke up and realized Blizzard hasn't cared about cheating, hacking or botting on their games for some time now. And if thats actually the case it means D3 is going to be botted into the fucking ground nonstop 24/7. Ever since this merger with Activison they have stopped caring about cheating in their games. Just look at or ask anyone who plays World of Warcraft. Nobody gets permanently banned anymore for botting honor in battlegrounds or buying gold. Wanna know why? Because then they lose out on that $15 a month. Back in classic one of my good friends tried using a Glider to level his warrior. Within 48 hours of running it his account got permanently banned and he quit playing the game until BC came out when he decided to start all over from level 1. That shit does not happen to people anymore.
So if that ends up happening, which a lot of people speculate it will, the RMAH isn't going to be some player friendly system that exists to improve gameplay. It's going to exist to tax these companies that bot their games like crazy. Anytime you or I want to go post something on the RMAH to try and turn some cash it's going to suck because the markets just going to be flooded with countless items from programs and not players. Don't forget its going to cost you money to even list an item on their RMAH so if it doesn't sell you lose whatever it cost you to list that item. Now imagine trying to sell your shit among a flood of the same items from companies that can actually afford to just take their items down the second someone undercuts them and repost them.
It's not going to be what everyone thinks. Blizzard should have said fuck you to these websites instead of taking some easy out all just to nickel and dime their customers. It's understandable from a business standpoint but unbelievably disappointing from a customer standpoint because I've been playing their games since Warcraft2 and if they try and put this garbage in the rest of their games or RMAH turns out to be as bad as I think it will I'm done with their product.

Agreed, but their stance on cheating was lightning up in TBC as well, long before the activision merger. Botting for honor would only net you a few temp bans and maybe a slight honor reduction. I should know--I'm a proud AFKaver D= Alterac Valley Cavemen will never die =D
