D3 is not going to pay to win. Pay to win assumes that you can only get that advantage through an RMT item or buff. In D3 the item in the auctionhouse will be items gotten from drops in game. There is nothing pay to win about this.
@newbveronica however you have to realize no one is going to pay $100 dollars for an item. i think the exchange rate will be alot lower than people expect. plus i thinkt there keeping the fact that you have to host a game. so you can choose to play with friends or strangers.
I'm not happy with D3's chat layout. It is a joke! It seems that Blizzard does not care about giving D3 a long lifespan. Similar to the poor lifespan that Warcraft III received.
try this, VOTEMYVID COM,just upload any video you have and vote,get everyone you know to vote for your video,you become the judge for your own video,every month a new contest,its all free
lol i think its funny people always put down those who spend extra money on game its not that they are buying it to win neccesarily sometimes paying extra for things is just more fun if you have a job and money why not? the only people who bitch are those who dont have a job or the extra cash.
@dothisdothat321 for me its not about that its about if you kill a boss and get cool stuff its like a prize showing how cool your guys geting for beating monsters or boss battils,but if your buying the stuff then whats the point?your just buying your guy to attack other players or to walk around then.
Women like you should only open their mouth to test dinner taste or to suck a dick. No insult meant to other women who actually think about what they say and do.
I mean, who cares that blizz said that the high end items will not be able to be sold in the cash shop (and bind on equip), let's draw conclusions on how this is going to ruin the game even though we don't know how it'll impact the game!! Obviously this girl is an expert on the subject, she even dressed up just to make this video :\.
You know, when I come across that rare item that I can't use or don't need, but can put it up for $50 on the AH(or at least put up enough items to reach $50).....I'll be thanking Blizzard for this idea.
As far as royally screwing the game's economy....I'll wait and see. I'm really not too bent out of shape about it.
This is a uber popular game as well though bits not gonna be one of those crappy free mmos, the top selling websites are going to join and hardcore the crap out of everyone, get all the items inflate them on the auction house things will cost $20548230954823904235 to buy have fun.
NewbVeronica, you're right but what most people don't know is that RMT's are going to take advantage of this no not the players, but the relentless chinese gold farmers, threy will ruin this games economy because they are legal now not illegal any more., ive probably played more mmos then most people commenting in this video and ive experienced this many times and @ gtrscarlet It doesn't matter if you dont have to use real money what matters are the facts I listed.
One of the things many ranters dont understand is you can still use the "Real Money" auction house without using real money. Ex: you have zero money in your D3 account. Then you put a sword or something up for sale for say....two dollars. You now have a credit of two dollars you can use to purchase something for your character that costs 2 dollars or less. You've effectively traded equipment with the other person and you havent spent a cent.
well people can pay to win if they want mind you in the online game i play you can pay as much money as you want but it doesnt make you any good try eve online
I partially agree with you. Yes it is terrible, the bought stuff is terrible and ruins the game. But the fact is, there is not way to avoid it. What are you going to do? To bind every single item of the game, so no one can transfer anything, well, I guess it would ruin the game as well. You would not be able to trade stuff with your friends. You can't help it and "legalizing it" you will allow the players to make it in much more secure way. I wish somone could come up with something better...but
I think I have to say something else ... this is like musicians ... people think they own them, or that musicians should LISTEN to what their fans have to say, I think that´s WRONG, the artist is an artist cause he wants to make his music and nothing more ... we just happen to buy the music we like ... nothing more. Should they listen to Diablo Fans to improve the game ? Sure, but we have no "rights" over the making of the game ;)
You´re freaking gorgeous, girl ! Nice ! I agree with you, but I have very little info , if the game is split in 2 , like "PAID GAME" "NON PAID GAME" that would be ok , I would rather enter the latter ... It´s pointless to compete with other people when REAL MONEY is a decisive factor, that preety much sums it up ;)
Everyone seems to be missing the point that all of these features will not exist in the hardcore mode of the game. For anyone that wants the serious gaming experience with no buying your way to the top, and no unfair advantages, just play hardcore.
If you buy to win. You can win the battle in D2, but you will never win the whole if you want to be the best player. Personally I don't like play games much, I just play Diablo, because I like the Random item, charms, and other stuff make the games unpredictable. You never know what is the best gear for you, only take years of experience and knowledge, then you start to grow. Damn I was such a nerd on D2.
You are so right! In D2, I was one of the top 10 sorceress in East U.S. The people who i know from the best did not bought anything from the web!! Because web item sucks! period. The magic of D2 regarding balancing is the "Random Item". Before my Blue random amulet description is (+3 cold skills, +100 Life), even beyond any other hack items. In back of pvp, just a few +10 life difference can change the battle a lot with pump of 40%add life with 08 shako and others.
As blond hair women the stereotype is still up to date about the intelligence and their hair color as usual. Simple women, even bought items are less in effective because of limitations stated by blizzard so in practice it wont really matter if you buy dream set from AH or from virtual gold. The first will be moslty for show off + its a singleplayer game with coop optional not MMO. And btw in Diablo 2 no buying stuff for real money? No hacker? you were living under fucking magma?.Jesus...
@NewbVeronica They can make Highest Tiers of items NOT be trade-able in any shape or form (aka BOP). So in order to get BIS gear you would go threw the skill check which is probably going to be nightmare mode. I am 80% certain that those items will be unique and non trade-able. Also that mode is not actually farm material for chinese gold farmers since it requires a lot more than a grind.
@3mailmy It is true that i did not rant about her entire thought line and that is because it started with a fault. When the words Pay-To-Win come out (because of an auction house) you can simply tell that the person saying that has no idea of how itemization works. Blizzard has been very keen on making games in which skill can be a bigger boost than items. Items are the rewards for having that skill => items without skill = you fail and die. Explain to me how Pay to Win applies to that please.
@NewbVeronica I am going to have to back you on this one, yet I do understand where TheUskfm is coming from. There is a thin line between what an item can do with and without skill, however at the same time without having the skill or item the person playing is useless themselves. In a way it is a balance to people that don't have time to be extremely skillful because they are at work all day/night. This as well goes for the people without money that it means more to because they earned for it.
@NewbVeronica Yes, but you realize ppl were still buying items with real cash in D2, WoW (and not only; you would be surprised that gold farmers and item sellers exist even in the most obscure free-to-play mmos). And there is a lot of scamming and frustration behind this. Better to 'legalize' it. This way the company gets a small revenue also. Not some random dude who manages to get 50 guys paying them 5 dollars a day to farm farm farm, somewhere in China.
@newbveronica Your Newb title fits you. Buying items and characters has been possible in wow for a very long time and it has not influenced the game because of "pay to win" situations. There are limitations in place to ensure the manner of getting the "best" items and you probably never seen an "ebay-ed" character that has no idea whatsoever of how to stay alive for more than 5 minutes when hitting things but he is max level.
@TheUskfm I like how you are one of those people who hear half a sentence then go on a rant. what you wrote seemingly had no correlation to her finished thought. almost confounds me with how punctuated your little troll rant was. i know i will be amongst the hardcore players whom have no easy way to buy items.personally i think it should be more like ppl sell their wares through a npc blacksmith and only the cheapest is displayed with only buyouts no auctioning.
in the end, the only real choice about using real life currency vs in game currency is whether you want to spend the dollars you make selling items in game or want to keep it as a minor income for playing the game. No need to ever spend real money in this game that you haven't made in the game. /shrug
nothing wrong with the diablo 3 system, you can trade for real cash or in game cash, there's an ah for each, you can sell for real cash too so it's just like having 2 kinds of currencies in game. As for gold buyers, they can't pay to win, they can only buy gold to save time on farming, I've never had a problem with people that do that, I personally wasted my life farming instead of buying gold when i played wow, and guess what, jokes on me for wasting my time doing that. People are just jealous.
I cant wait for diablo 3, ive been a fan for years of D2, i dont really plan on buying anything from there shop, but i do plan on selling items to earn some cash on the side to help pay bills and get some awsome Diablo 3 shirts from the blizzard store xD
I hate blizzard because of their effect on other developers... That more or less sums up my issue with them... To me it appears they have the Judge Dread "I AM THE LAW" attitude, and I honestly hate people that think it is ok to use all caps. xD
@nazaxprime caps being bad is the biggest troll ever, personally I rather if people used them all the time, it's easier to read, heh. As for blizzard, well they know they have a hardcore fan based and they try new things they think their fan base will like, it's because their models are usually successful that every other company plays follow the leader, not their i am the law??? attitude that you seem to think they have, that attitude wouldn't work if their games weren't actually good.
lol,, the cash AH is not for players, it's for Blizzard to take a new money making approach. "Lets set up a sales for real cash system that we take a fee... all we have to do is keep releasing new content and CHA CHING :)"
tits or gtfo! lol jk, diablo 2 lod is still one of my favourite games d2 > d3 , d3 looks like a shitty reskinned wow, the engine looks like its from 2004
Coming from someone who travels and works over 60 hours a week I think that this is a great idea. D2JSP.com was a pay to win for D2, ebay was a pay to win for Everquest, etc. Since I am unable to play 18 hours a day I can use income to supplement my lost time. If someone can play 18 hours a day they obviously do not have income and will become very frustrated at someone else who does. It's a huge catch 22 and you can't blame either player for going about it their own way.
@lordteapot Do you know that Everquest had Ebay, DaoC had Ebay, D2 had D2Jsp, and the list goes on and on. Not including all the 3rd party sites generated by every MMO. So playing 18 hours a day makes you legit? I don't think so. Knowing how to play your character, now we're talking.
i played d1 for 3 years, and d2/d2lod for 10. i'll be playing d3 for 0 thanks to this pay to win garbage. gg blizzard, see you at d4, hope you make it right.
When did Diablo stop being a game and became a fantasy life brought into this world. A game is a game and Diablo use to be fun until all this buy and sell items crap. Is this something that us single players have to deal with as well? Did Blizzard put single player online only to eventually faze it out. Then Blizzard can make a bloody fortune on items as well as the game itself.
@solunaraven blizz limited the game to online only to combat against the development of hacks/cheats/dupe techniques. this way they are able to monitor if u are doing something fishy. a small reasoning could be to get more online players :D
@burilor I understand that piracy is a serious problem. They should be able to protect their product. But to take the game away from those of us who are not trying to steal their product is a bit overboard. I don't like being online to play with others. I am lousy as a team player. I will probably still play but I am going to wait a bit. Probably a year to see how things go. Hopefully Blizz will have a change of heart. I love this game, it just keeps getting better.
@solunaraven piracy is a serious issue but everything on the internet/computer platform is hackable. plain truth. if this game was on a console platform ps3/xbox then that is a different story. a lot of people are saying they won't buy this game but eventually they will and conform and live with the changes blizz has decided :D
I remember when gamers had to earn their fame / items via skill.
Sadly, these days are over. I can't remember the last MMO I played past the free month. D3's auctions house is nothing more than another way for Blizzard to get their greedy hands on some more coin.
I hate the auction system. I'm hoping they get hit hard and change this.
The system in place is much better than the alternative. I appreciate that you take the time to sit down and explain why you feel the way you do about the situation, but I personally believe this will be better for the majority of players as a whole. Yes, some folks are going to abuse the system, and earn their achievements through buying their entire character or set, putting no work into the game. But I also believe it is someone's choice whether or not they want to ruin their game experience.
At the end of the day, there will always be people who try to take advantage of games and sell gold etc... My god I cant log into trade on WoW without susanexpress spam every 5-10 seconds.... I
The sad thing is, some people will actually start making a living from playing video games, which I am not against, but I can guarantee we will see some poor sod in the paper who killed himself becaues his revenue account was hacked
i agree with 4:35 - 4:56 comepletely; mostly because it's usually just an excuse for the person either sucking at playing the game, or having something to let them feel like they are better than others so they don't hate themselves so much.
u dont have to pay to win :O u are able to beat anything without spending 1 cent if aint a noob ppl who buy anything wont have much fun with this game because the real fun is the moment when that super awesome shit drops
One its not cheating, long as I can do the same thing as he can and It DOES NOT hack the system in any way its fine.
But the thing you are not getting newb is that you still have to level your characters to use any of the equipment that you buy. Plus with the banner system in place you can tell immediately if that person has done really anything in game or not. Since you cant buy your character, just items, you still have to play to use them...just the time spent hunting for items is shorter.
i read on blizzard FAQ :"Two different versions of the auction house will be available in Diablo III: one based on in-game gold, which players acquire through their adventures, and one based on real-world currency" So...
To me the real question is when i read on FAQ too :"funds that have been added to their Battle.net account". With that methods i fear hacked account has more consequences than before.
Concerning Diablo 3,i will wait for Diablo 6 or maybe Diablo 5 ^_^
anyone who complains about the RMAH obviously never played diablo 2 the amount of 3rd party trading going on was crazy this will just eliminate the scammers and still be no different from d2
get over yourself. how does it affect you if other people are buying their gear? people have been doing it for years in diablo 2. if you feel youd spoil the game if you bought gear alright. if other people want to spoil the game for themselves, let them. it dosent concern you in any way. the best thing about RMAH is that you dont have to even spend a pennie to buy things from it. you can sell stuff for money and then buy stuff for that same money. its a great trading system.
"blizzard making it okay to buy items" no, they are making it okay for players to trade items with each other for money. a simple solution for you is just to not use the RMAH. the point of the RMAH is to try and create a stable and fair market, like diablo 2 was lacking. owners of item shops makes a huge amount of money abusing the flawed trading system for personal gain. blizzard is simply stopping them with the RMAH. instead of douchebags making profit, blizzard will instead..
@NewbVeronica probably yes, but not even close as much as they used to, so many people will be selling stuff on the RMAH = ALOT of competition. hopefully theyll profit so much less that itll be such an ineffective way for them to make money, that theyll move on to something else. and with b.net2 we probably won't see dupe exploites or botting as much. the only reason it was so profitable was because of the lacking security system (duping, botting) and also, RMT being "not okay"
@olfan92 im not following what your saying? gold farmers arent all chinese even though i know only people with the same currency can trade with each other. blizz has decided that
@olfan92 ALL sellers will have to compete with one another to sell items. It doesn't matter if your just a normal person or a huge gold farming corporation, everyone will rather use the in-game AH because of the safety and ease of trading.
@burilor im for it. there's no reason to dislike this idea unless you're trolling. and for people buying shit i dont give a fuck i dont pvp,diablo 3 is pve and if you buy diablo 3 for the pvp you're retarded. RMAH = Great.
@nikals Explain why this is necessary when WoW has done just fine for 6+ years with an ingame currency auction house only?
Diablo 2 currency was only worthless because of how easily it was attained, and the fact that there was nothing worth while to spend it on. The normal in-game currency auction house already solved this by making it just like WoW or any MMO.
The Real Money auction house is just a shameless cash grab that fanboys will walk into with a smile like a bunch of lemmings.
@CedgeDC you can't compare it to wow. wow items = soulbound items. diablo = no items bound at all. clearly you didnt play that much of diablo2. the real money auction house is not "just a cash grab". if blizz wanted that they would have done exactly like the item shops did. sell items themselves for sometimes ridicoulus prices. or like some 3d party trading sites, selling trading-currency for real money. real money auction house is nessecary to break the "black market" of diablo items.
@CedgeDC also blizzard is claiming their right to earn money on players trading. this is what the "black market" did and if anyone should make money on that it should be blizzard. they are only charging a small fixed fee unlike the others did. the RMAH is a privilege to players wanting to trade in real money. people did it in diablo 2 so why not make it safe and secure for the players. blizz earning a buck or two on it is in no way wrong. they are a business and their purpose is to earn money.
you can't really make a valid statement about the RMAH unless you played diablo 2 and know how big of a problem 3d party item selling/trading sites were. the item shops earning money made them wanting more money. so they started making ad-bots for their shops. so spam-bots were constantly spamming ads for several different shops in the chat channels and in every freaking game u made (unless u toggled a lvl restriction). it got to a point were it got ridiculous.
being against RMAH is pretty much saying "yeah im okay with in-game spam bots, and also okay with douches making a fortune of virtual pixels thats not their property"
please try to see the bigger picture about the RMAH. yes blizzard WANTS TO MAKE MONEY! that is OKAY. RMAH will make them a tiny tiny bit of money (if u say otherwise, just compare it to wow, d3 free to play RMAH fee, wow not free to play, no auction house fee), but the main point of it is to make in-game trading functional.
So then I can feel safe when I assume that you see a real-money- system as just another "shortcut" much like grinding, glitch-abusal or duping? I think we kind of look at this the same way now, don't you agree :)? I am glad we got a chance to talk about this ^_^, I wish you luck enjoying diablo 3, and I hope you can compete nicely with your honorable play-style, after all as a fellow gamer I greatly respect that from you.
I get your point. Buying your way all to end game is not only pointless it's also a waste of your game. Still I can imagine a player going through the storyline once (so that's 3x on all difficulties in diablo 2) without buying or trading in order to have a full game experience. Then when you are done doing that, you want to try some pvp, only you can't because everyone has grinded and duped to overpoweredness and tell you to go play somewhere else after 1h-killing you with over 9000 damage.
@no1pwnskrillin At least 1 play through is good enough for me, then I start taking the short-cuts myself. (friends bringing me to hell in D2, boyfriend PLing my low lv jobs in ff11) Not to mention I start to click through the story and quests without reading em in MMORPGs. Hopefully guild wars 2 can cure that with changing the story for each of my characters <3
Dear veronica. Does skill mean anything nowadays? I understand why you detest this real-money- system. Everyone throwing enough cash to the game ends up being a winner, noob or not. But isnt it fair to allow people with a job, family and kids who have a busy life and cant spend al their time grinding the same chance as a real so called "pro" gamer who does have the time to subject himself to this endless grinding? I mean dont you think grinders (They Can be just as noobish) are equal to blame?
@no1pwnskrillin Hello, I know where you are coming from but a game like diablo is so gear focused. Hard to make strategy and skill in a game where whoever has the best weapon and gear wins.
@NewbVeronica So, if there is an option to save yourself from the boring grind-time it's wrong? So yes, for many things gear is a must have. Gear is all about stacking numbers and reaching breakpoints untill you can either win in pvp or run something like the ubers. Oh yeah, you have to be smart enough to search the internet for a decent build aswell. How many people make their own buids in RPG's or MMO's these days? Do you see skill here? I ask you: how do you define a good diablo player?
@no1pwnskrillin When you ask someone if they play a game - any game, and they say yes, do you think of someone who bought their character and items? i do not see any point of 'playing' a game where you simply bought your way to end game. Not to mention, what will you do when you auto-have everything at end game? I guess buying trophy characters is the same thing as playing games now a days. Some people should just buy a win button.
@NewbVeronica lol strategy and skill in a game where you are playing against the computer? I don't know if you've been paying attention but the official word is that this is NOT a competitive game. NPCs are not hard, they are predictable as shit. And then being able to make your money back on the game you bought is fantastic, what about the poor people who want to play? On top of that, how are you impeded by another player's power? If anything it makes your life easier.
@NewbVeronica Agree on that... -.- i'll suggest you to play Eve Online or Ryzom if you don't want to have all that sh1theads with money trolling around.
@zzd00medzz and it also lets you sell the items for real money which is then put into your accounts so you can both spend AND make money.. everyone can act as their own "itemstore"
What blizzard learned with Diablo 2: If you can't beat 'em, join em, or better yet keep that potential revenue stream entirely in house. Best bet will be to find some like minded players and play according to your own set of standards. What I learned from D2 was that if you are expecting everyone to be ethical and fair, you are going to be really disappointed.
I have been somewhat deep in the botting and gold farming for WoW i can tell you that this is going to be the way of the future and the best thing to happen in Diablo 3. not only does this lower botting and gold farming, because now everybody can do it, it also make use the user profit from it.
Lol no. you're wrong. In diablo 2 there were more item stores than you could count. supplied by hackers, bots, scams and duping items. All of these stores were very shifty and anyone who bought from them were at risk of getting ripped off. but that was not the only problem with item buying in D2, only players with a credit card had acces, making all of the under 18 players at a severe disadvantage, with the AH any1 can use it. its fair.
and when you finnaly give up D3 you can sell your gear for$
Cash AH is a great idea i can't wait to go earn some bomb ass loot and sell it for cash why wouldn't i want that? because other people can buy gear? sell high buy low make enough to buy what you need without ever spending a penny you didn't earn in the game it self. it's the same concept. i personally dont plan on buying anything with it but selling TONS free money is welcome and should be for anybody with a brain. They can abuse it for items while i abuse them for money. sounds fair to me.
As old D2 player I have to say that most of u seem to not have played d2 online very much. D2 had more Itemstores then any game I played so far. Yes it was against the terms of service to use them but it was really really common and Blizzard wasnt able to stop it.
So what they did for D3 is that they put those "shops" into player hands via the ingame auction house because they knew they couldnt stop all those online shops to switch over to D3 right when its released.
The only thing I really worry about regarding the ingame auction house is that all these online shops will china farm and flood the ingame AH and then start to buy cheap Items to sell them for more like people did in WoW
Although I have to say that D3 will be absolutly not like WoW in terms of Guilds or gameplay, I think many people dont understand that. In D2 you had guilds mostly for PvP and it was more a bunch of guys playing together sometimes or 2-3 friends you just played with all the time
Omg i agree with a lot of what you say but looking at you makes it hard to focus on what you are saying lol!
on a serious note cash shops suck they ruin every game i have played in the last 5 years.. but w/e you not paying to buy the items in my opinion makes you a very good player who would rather actually work for what they got. Keep up the good work.
What will be nice those is that they will be setting it up where you will be able to buy things for in game gold not just real money, so it will keep the spirit of a real auction house in mind.
Ive got to say that Im against all games that attempt to sell nothing for something. Just have a look at Project Entropia which is completely insane,
I had been looking forward to see the new currency, stone of jordans, ist runes or whatever it may have been. As it turns out, this new currency is dollars or euros which i find very dissapointing.
I fear this will ruin the best part of diablo. The trading of items for other items.
I plan to play the game with without the AH, and I will end up the the L33T gear and will play the game longterm unlike the people who will just buy the toons. I give the AH toons about a month and they will be bored and wish they had EARNED they gear. Oh and Veronica *wink* Much Love to a True Gamer
Wow, you guys are vile disgusting sexist pigs. Have some common decency for God's sake. She's a person, not a piece of meat. Anyways, I agree with your points in the video, however I am totally gonna try to make money off the noobs.
Cha-ching Cha-ching! And yes, you are a total moron if you pay for this stuff.
I am a player who thinks skill is more important than gear, and yeah I happened to beat twinks above my lvl in WoW with just my standard pvp gear. Therefore, if somebody in Diablo comes with his/her fancy bought gear guess what... I am still beating his or her butt, so I could care less about it. Plus I can make money out of playing which I think is win win situation for all of us. Even the grinders who hate the idea
Buying the items off of ebay and other sites for D2 was huge, that is why Blizzard put the real money AH in the game. I know I made enough money off of D1&D2 through ebay and a couple of other sites selling items for real money to pay off my vehicles and get a nice down payment on my home. I also know that I didnt make anywhere near what the gold and item seling companies did. There is a reason gold selling companies make millions every year, and it really started and got big with eq1.
I hate how people treat the RMAH like it's the only way to trade in D3. The GAH will be used much more, at least for the first few months, until the gold to $ ratio is developed. Later it wont matter, as people will be willing to buy gold for $ to participate in the GAH, allowing people that sell them said gold to participate in the RMAH without actually spending any money.
Want "cash-shop" OUT? Don't buy the damn game and they'll start hurtin'.
Or be exploited for your weakness - i for one am not tempted at all by this "omg i get rich on noobs" shit because i'd only push blizz's agenda.
Either Diablo 3 is a mmo - and then the limited people in one session makes it a SHIT mmo, or it's not and they shouldn't add RL cash into the ecuation.
she'd be hot after a few years of braces,but as it is those potato peelers she calls teeth fuck it up for me...........maybe if she kept her mouth closed but whats the chances a female would do that.
@dalushenal you just hate women because they hate you, you are a WOW loser who is destined to lead a pathetic meager existence. Deprived of life experiences and relationships, you will whittle away your days posting bitter comments on anything of beauty or value.
But the idea of adding money from the RMAH to your battle.net account is cool. Free-to-play wow and free games can be achieved over time. I don't think its a bad idea to have a RMAH but I can't stand the idea of Blizzard(greedy bastards) trying to get every dollar they can from the people that play their games. Having a fixed fee to post items on the RMAH and a fixed fee to CASH OUT will pay for the games you can purchase with the money on your battle.net account.
Think of it this way if you can add 10$ to your diablo 3 account. and post items for lets say 10$ and be charged 2$ by Blizzard(greedy bastards) you can easily make money. BUT don't think it would be that easy. They are still going to be the farmers out there playing the game all day and they are going to throw off the AH so those 10$ items will drop and you will be charged that Fixed fee that blizzard(greedy bastards) will set. So making money in Diablo 3 will be a slow and painful process.
U can't grind your whole gear in Diablo franchise, because of total random drop...so u need systems like auction house and since it's really hard to maintain in-game currency, real money system seems good to me
D3 is not going to pay to win. Pay to win assumes that you can only get that advantage through an RMT item or buff. In D3 the item in the auctionhouse will be items gotten from drops in game. There is nothing pay to win about this.

@newbveronica however you have to realize no one is going to pay $100 dollars for an item. i think the exchange rate will be alot lower than people expect. plus i thinkt there keeping the fact that you have to host a game. so you can choose to play with friends or strangers.

lol i think its funny people always put down those who spend extra money on game its not that they are buying it to win neccesarily sometimes paying extra for things is just more fun if you have a job and money why not? the only people who bitch are those who dont have a job or the extra cash.

One of the things many ranters dont understand is you can still use the "Real Money" auction house without using real money. Ex: you have zero money in your D3 account. Then you put a sword or something up for sale for say....two dollars. You now have a credit of two dollars you can use to purchase something for your character that costs 2 dollars or less. You've effectively traded equipment with the other person and you havent spent a cent.

I partially agree with you. Yes it is terrible, the bought stuff is terrible and ruins the game. But the fact is, there is not way to avoid it. What are you going to do? To bind every single item of the game, so no one can transfer anything, well, I guess it would ruin the game as well. You would not be able to trade stuff with your friends. You can't help it and "legalizing it" you will allow the players to make it in much more secure way. I wish somone could come up with something better...but

I think I have to say something else ... this is like musicians ... people think they own them, or that musicians should LISTEN to what their fans have to say, I think that´s WRONG, the artist is an artist cause he wants to make his music and nothing more ... we just happen to buy the music we like ... nothing more. Should they listen to Diablo Fans to improve the game ? Sure, but we have no "rights" over the making of the game ;)

If you buy to win. You can win the battle in D2, but you will never win the whole if you want to be the best player. Personally I don't like play games much, I just play Diablo, because I like the Random item, charms, and other stuff make the games unpredictable. You never know what is the best gear for you, only take years of experience and knowledge, then you start to grow. Damn I was such a nerd on D2.

You are so right! In D2, I was one of the top 10 sorceress in East U.S. The people who i know from the best did not bought anything from the web!! Because web item sucks! period. The magic of D2 regarding balancing is the "Random Item". Before my Blue random amulet description is (+3 cold skills, +100 Life), even beyond any other hack items. In back of pvp, just a few +10 life difference can change the battle a lot with pump of 40%add life with 08 shako and others.

As blond hair women the stereotype is still up to date about the intelligence and their hair color as usual. Simple women, even bought items are less in effective because of limitations stated by blizzard so in practice it wont really matter if you buy dream set from AH or from virtual gold. The first will be moslty for show off + its a singleplayer game with coop optional not MMO. And btw in Diablo 2 no buying stuff for real money? No hacker? you were living under fucking magma?.Jesus...

@NewbVeronica They can make Highest Tiers of items NOT be trade-able in any shape or form (aka BOP). So in order to get BIS gear you would go threw the skill check which is probably going to be nightmare mode. I am 80% certain that those items will be unique and non trade-able. Also that mode is not actually farm material for chinese gold farmers since it requires a lot more than a grind.

@3mailmy It is true that i did not rant about her entire thought line and that is because it started with a fault. When the words Pay-To-Win come out (because of an auction house) you can simply tell that the person saying that has no idea of how itemization works. Blizzard has been very keen on making games in which skill can be a bigger boost than items. Items are the rewards for having that skill => items without skill = you fail and die. Explain to me how Pay to Win applies to that please.

@NewbVeronica I am going to have to back you on this one, yet I do understand where TheUskfm is coming from. There is a thin line between what an item can do with and without skill, however at the same time without having the skill or item the person playing is useless themselves. In a way it is a balance to people that don't have time to be extremely skillful because they are at work all day/night. This as well goes for the people without money that it means more to because they earned for it.

@NewbVeronica Yes, but you realize ppl were still buying items with real cash in D2, WoW (and not only; you would be surprised that gold farmers and item sellers exist even in the most obscure free-to-play mmos). And there is a lot of scamming and frustration behind this. Better to 'legalize' it. This way the company gets a small revenue also. Not some random dude who manages to get 50 guys paying them 5 dollars a day to farm farm farm, somewhere in China.

in the end, the only real choice about using real life currency vs in game currency is whether you want to spend the dollars you make selling items in game or want to keep it as a minor income for playing the game.

nothing wrong with the diablo 3 system, you can trade for real cash or in game cash, there's an ah for each, you can sell for real cash too so it's just like having 2 kinds of currencies in game. As for gold buyers, they can't pay to win, they can only buy gold to save time on farming, I've never had a problem with people that do that, I personally wasted my life farming instead of buying gold when i played wow, and guess what, jokes on me for wasting my time doing that.

Coming from someone who travels and works over 60 hours a week I think that this is a great idea. D2JSP.com was a pay to win for D2, ebay was a pay to win for Everquest, etc. Since I am unable to play 18 hours a day I can use income to supplement my lost time. If someone can play 18 hours a day they obviously do not have income and will become very frustrated at someone else who does. It's a huge catch 22 and you can't blame either player for going about it their own way.

When did Diablo stop being a game and became a fantasy life brought into this world. A game is a game and Diablo use to be fun until all this buy and sell items crap. Is this something that us single players have to deal with as well? Did Blizzard put single player online only to eventually faze it out. Then Blizzard can make a bloody fortune on items as well as the game itself.

Yes, some folks are going to abuse the system, and earn their achievements through buying their entire character or set, putting no work into the game. But I also believe it is someone's choice whether or not they want to ruin their game experience.

get over yourself. how does it affect you if other people are buying their gear? people have been doing it for years in diablo 2. if you feel youd spoil the game if you bought gear alright. if other people want to spoil the game for themselves, let them. it dosent concern you in any way. the best thing about RMAH is that you dont have to even spend a pennie to buy things from it. you can sell stuff for money and then buy stuff for that same money. its a great trading system.
nikals 4 months ago
"blizzard making it okay to buy items" no, they are making it okay for players to trade items with each other for money. a simple solution for you is just to not use the RMAH. the point of the RMAH is to try and create a stable and fair market, like diablo 2 was lacking. owners of item shops makes a huge amount of money abusing the flawed trading system for personal gain. blizzard is simply stopping them with the RMAH. instead of douchebags making profit, blizzard will instead..

@NewbVeronica probably yes, but not even close as much as they used to, so many people will be selling stuff on the RMAH = ALOT of competition. hopefully theyll profit so much less that itll be such an ineffective way for them to make money, that theyll move on to something else. and with b.net2 we probably won't see dupe exploites or botting as much. the only reason it was so profitable was because of the lacking security system (duping, botting) and also, RMT being "not okay"

Diablo 2 currency was only worthless because of how easily it was attained, and the fact that there was nothing worth while to spend it on. The normal in-game currency auction house already solved this by making it just like WoW or any MMO.
The Real Money auction house is just a shameless cash grab that fanboys will walk into with a smile like a bunch of lemmings.
CedgeDC 3 months ago
@CedgeDC you can't compare it to wow. wow items = soulbound items. diablo = no items bound at all. clearly you didnt play that much of diablo2. the real money auction house is not "just a cash grab". if blizz wanted that they would have done exactly like the item shops did. sell items themselves for sometimes ridicoulus prices. or like some 3d party trading sites, selling trading-currency for real money. real money auction house is nessecary to break the "black market" of diablo items.
nikals 3 months ago
@CedgeDC also blizzard is claiming their right to earn money on players trading. this is what the "black market" did and if anyone should make money on that it should be blizzard. they are only charging a small fixed fee unlike the others did. the RMAH is a privilege to players wanting to trade in real money. people did it in diablo 2 so why not make it safe and secure for the players. blizz earning a buck or two on it is in no way wrong. they are a business and their purpose is to earn money.
nikals 3 months ago
you can't really make a valid statement about the RMAH unless you played diablo 2 and know how big of a problem 3d party item selling/trading sites were. the item shops earning money made them wanting more money. so they started making ad-bots for their shops. so spam-bots were constantly spamming ads for several different shops in the chat channels and in every freaking game u made (unless u toggled a lvl restriction). it got to a point were it got ridiculous.
nikals 3 months ago
being against RMAH is pretty much saying "yeah im okay with in-game spam bots, and also okay with douches making a fortune of virtual pixels thats not their property"
please try to see the bigger picture about the RMAH. yes blizzard WANTS TO MAKE MONEY! that is OKAY. RMAH will make them a tiny tiny bit of money (if u say otherwise, just compare it to wow, d3 free to play RMAH fee, wow not free to play, no auction house fee), but the main point of it is to make in-game trading functional.

Then when you are done doing that, you want to try some pvp, only you can't because everyone has grinded and duped to overpoweredness and tell you to go play somewhere else after 1h-killing you with over 9000 damage.

Best bet will be to find some like minded players and play according to your own set of standards. What I learned from D2 was that if you are expecting everyone to be ethical and fair, you are going to be really disappointed.

I have been somewhat deep in the botting and gold farming for WoW i can tell you that this is going to be the way of the future and the best thing to happen in Diablo 3. not only does this lower botting and gold farming, because now everybody can do it, it also make use the user profit from it.

Lol no. you're wrong. In diablo 2 there were more item stores than you could count. supplied by hackers, bots, scams and duping items. All of these stores were very shifty and anyone who bought from them were at risk of getting ripped off. but that was not the only problem with item buying in D2, only players with a credit card had acces, making all of the under 18 players at a severe disadvantage, with the AH any1 can use it. its fair.
and when you finnaly give up D3 you can sell your gear for$

You got that right. AH ruined an amazing game. They're not Nexon. They don't need microtransactions.
Oh well. I guess I'll have a secondary source of scratch now. Idiots buy good gear for anything, so it seems.

Cash AH is a great idea i can't wait to go earn some bomb ass loot and sell it for cash why wouldn't i want that? because other people can buy gear? sell high buy low make enough to buy what you need without ever spending a penny you didn't earn in the game it self. it's the same concept. i personally dont plan on buying anything with it but selling TONS free money is welcome and should be for anybody with a brain. They can abuse it for items while i abuse them for money. sounds fair to me.

As old D2 player I have to say that most of u seem to not have played d2 online very much. D2 had more Itemstores then any game I played so far. Yes it was against the terms of service to use them but it was really really common and Blizzard wasnt able to stop it.
So what they did for D3 is that they put those "shops" into player hands via the ingame auction house because they knew they couldnt stop all those online shops to switch over to D3 right when its released.

The only thing I really worry about regarding the ingame auction house is that all these online shops will china farm and flood the ingame AH and then start to buy cheap Items to sell them for more like people did in WoW
Although I have to say that D3 will be absolutly not like WoW in terms of Guilds or gameplay, I think many people dont understand that. In D2 you had guilds mostly for PvP and it was more a bunch of guys playing together sometimes or 2-3 friends you just played with all the time

@Duriel202 difference was how many people would actually buy their shit from those stores. The "Pro's" use(d) d2jsp.org.

Omg i agree with a lot of what you say but looking at you makes it hard to focus on what you are saying lol!
on a serious note cash shops suck they ruin every game i have played in the last 5 years.. but w/e you not paying to buy the items in my opinion makes you a very good player who would rather actually work for what they got. Keep up the good work.

What will be nice those is that they will be setting it up where you will be able to buy things for in game gold not just real money, so it will keep the spirit of a real auction house in mind.

vote with your wallet and dont buy D3. aww I forgot, gamers dont have a spine to ban a game.
your discontent still making blizzard rich so why would anyone care?

Ive got to say that Im against all games that attempt to sell nothing for something. Just have a look at Project Entropia which is completely insane,
I had been looking forward to see the new currency, stone of jordans, ist runes or whatever it may have been. As it turns out, this new currency is dollars or euros which i find very dissapointing.
I fear this will ruin the best part of diablo. The trading of items for other items.

I plan to play the game with without the AH, and I will end up the the L33T gear and will play the game longterm unlike the people who will just buy the toons. I give the AH toons about a month and they will be bored and wish they had EARNED they gear. Oh and Veronica *wink* Much Love to a True Gamer

If you want to use the RMAH then go ahead, but personally I think spending hard-earned real world currency on a bunch of pixels isn't a great idea.
timchambers55 4 months ago
I am a player who thinks skill is more important than gear, and yeah I happened to beat twinks above my lvl in WoW with just my standard pvp gear. Therefore, if somebody in Diablo comes with his/her fancy bought gear guess what... I am still beating his or her butt, so I could care less about it. Plus I can make money out of playing which I think is win win situation for all of us. Even the grinders who hate the idea

Buying the items off of ebay and other sites for D2 was huge, that is why Blizzard put the real money AH in the game. I know I made enough money off of D1&D2 through ebay and a couple of other sites selling items for real money to pay off my vehicles and get a nice down payment on my home. I also know that I didnt make anywhere near what the gold and item seling companies did. There is a reason gold selling companies make millions every year, and it really started and got big with eq1.

I hate how people treat the RMAH like it's the only way to trade in D3. The GAH will be used much more, at least for the first few months, until the gold to $ ratio is developed. Later it wont matter, as people will be willing to buy gold for $ to participate in the GAH, allowing people that sell them said gold to participate in the RMAH without actually spending any money.

Want "cash-shop" OUT? Don't buy the damn game and they'll start hurtin'.
Or be exploited for your weakness - i for one am not tempted at all by this "omg i get rich on noobs" shit because i'd only push blizz's agenda.
Either Diablo 3 is a mmo - and then the limited people in one session makes it a SHIT mmo, or it's not and they shouldn't add RL cash into the ecuation.

But the idea of adding money from the RMAH to your battle.net account is cool. Free-to-play wow and free games can be achieved over time. I don't think its a bad idea to have a RMAH but I can't stand the idea of Blizzard(greedy bastards) trying to get every dollar they can from the people that play their games. Having a fixed fee to post items on the RMAH and a fixed fee to CASH OUT will pay for the games you can purchase with the money on your battle.net account.
ChewieCarrot 4 months ago
Think of it this way if you can add 10$ to your diablo 3 account. and post items for lets say 10$ and be charged 2$ by Blizzard(greedy bastards) you can easily make money. BUT don't think it would be that easy. They are still going to be the farmers out there playing the game all day and they are going to throw off the AH so those 10$ items will drop and you will be charged that Fixed fee that blizzard(greedy bastards) will set. So making money in Diablo 3 will be a slow and painful process.

You don't have guilds in Diablo, as far as I know. Co-op is only for fun.
So I don't see the big problem here.
And people will buy and sell stuff anyway, players want this. Ow and I think you're cute, keep it up ;p
