I don't see how you always have to be online to play diablo is bothering anyone. It's not like anyone ever played single player in the first place.dw

I play a character to max, gear him out, and then I get tired of that character. Now, I can sell it. Seems great to me.

Except that your char will be worth like 10 cents since the Azn botters will have driven the prices so far down. Not to mention you will have crummy gear since everyone will be ninja looting like a b just to have a chance at selling in the RMAH.

So yeah you could solo to avoid people who bought gear, but multiplayer is fun and they have ruined it with this move. In the words of the food reviewer "this shit is not a buy"

So I don't end up getting to sell it/make money. Oh well, I'll just have to continue playing a F2P game.

If you can transfer toons to the hardcore server or away from it, RMT gonna ruin that server too...


On principle I fucking hate blizzard with a passion, but I was looking at D3, SC2, and I even am considering getting elder scrolls 5 when it comes out.

This is nothing new. Blizzard is just offering the sevice instead of some korean 3rd party site.

eg: http://d2items.com/?gclid=CJ-H-a33wqoCFQYnbAodF2_i4A#

Yes you have to be online to play the game. It's to combat piracy. Look at D2. Why buy it when you can DL it? Plus if you dont have an internet connection at this point in time chances are you don't know d3 even exists.

Worried about botters ruining the economy? Look at the D2 economy. Its still (mostly) fine. Relax.

No PVP? Well that sucks for some. I never played pvp so IDGAF.

Plus loot whores wont be a problem. You get your own loot from kills. So thats a bonus.

There aren't really servers. You basically connect to bnet and enter chat rooms then create your own games. You can make them public or private, password protect them, etc. At least thats how it was in D2. I just think RMAH defeats the entire purpose of playing Diablo.

blizzard is brilliant. the black market WILL happen with or without blizzard intervention. they are offering a safe means to complete said transactions, and they are taking a cut out of each one. brilliant.

I am just happy that I have an easy way to cash out when I am finished with the game.

Is D3 gonna have the same spam loot system as D2? That combined with RMT system could make players very very hostile towards one another, discourage teamplay, etc
