when you join a game you can individually grant certain player(s) permission to loot your corpse in the case that you die

if you die and have given another player has been given permission to loot your corpse, the player can travel to your corpse and loot it as long as you are still at this screen and have not pressed escape yet (in which case your corpse will poof)

the player will only be able to loot whatever items you had equipped when you died (but not the items in your inventory or ones in your stash)

then again, even if you gave someone permission to loot your corpse, there was nothing forcing them to be noble enough to go out of their way to meet you in a new game on your mule and give you back all your stuff.. so generally people only gave permission to people they actually trusted to do so

and you're right i played a barbarian to level 18, got ganked by a fucking sorc, and peaced outta hc mode forever

Ya..totally agree. Probably just gonna host and play solo in my own games or just with rl friends. I'm gonna buy it because I'm a big blizzard tool but this is probably my last attempt at blizzard games. If RMAH ends up ruining D3 I'm done.

I probably would not even care for RMAH, since I never ever bought anything in MMO for RC, but what bugs me the hell out of it, is just WHY do I have to be perma-connected to bnet to play a SOLO game???

Ok fine I understand, Bliz wants to store your chars in their Db to prevent cheating and char hacking, but guys - Diablo is not a MMO! Yes it can be played with small company of friends, but mostly its a SOLO game, and I don't understand why would Bliz even care if I hack or cheated my very own SOLO game???

Not like I ever did so, but still. In D2 there were open Bnet realms and closed realms, where chars were stored online - why not do the same things? People who WANTS to be secure - play on closed realms, and people who only connect to bnet to fool around with their hacked/cheated chars/gear can log onto open realms (not like I ever even used bnet for D2 - I always played with my friend over direct IP hosting)

Don't get me wrong, I live in 21st century too, I have fiber-optic internet which is on 24/7, so yeah I wouldn't have a problem with a connection or anything. But for argument sake, I go on vacation to a forest camp, and take my laptop with me - why the heck why I can't play a SOLO game without internet connection where I like???

So Bliz goes through this tremendous headache, to achieve what?
We can't play on LAN anymore
We can't host games over IP
We can't even play our own game SOLO for god sake without internet connection!

As someone on gucomics forums said : "Next thing you know, you will need internet to play solitaire"

Do you actually look into things that you complain about? The only micro transactions for WoW are for cosmetic items and server/faction changes. They don't alter game play.

Thats why the Blizzard store offers you a code to use to redeem for their micro transaction shop. Because you never see people then selling these codes all through trade chat for gold which you can use to buy BoE's and shit. Durrr.

The rest of your arguments make you sound like a sheep by the way. Have fun standing around with nothing to do at max level once you buy all your best in slot gear for real money. Not having some type of PVP system in Diablo 3 is going to be a huge fucking let down.

"I couldn't be happier I ditched WoW like 2 years ago because that games offically gone down the toilet as well with the main concept of it being based on micro transactions instead of actual gameplay, but yeah this feature is going in WoW eventually as well."

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that being able to sell an in-game pet was so ground breaking as to replace actual gameplay due to being able to buy a couple BoE items.

I didn't PVP in Diablo 2 and I loved it and logged tons of time on it. I personally am not the type of person to buy gear but I sure as hell plan on selling any items I get that are worth a few bucks. I also plan on selling the characters I build up and get to max level. 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.

Fact of the matter is that practically every argument you made is made null by the fact that you don't have to play with a single person that buys gear. Also, if your concerns are for the arena system, it is going to match people based off skill AND gear. Soooo ya, if you come up against that 10 year old with "daddy's credit card" you should have no problems at all, right?

P.S. If rational arguments make me a sheep... Baaaah.

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"
