  • I used to always bash the idea of buying in-game items as well, but some people only care about getting results and they don't care what the means to the end is nor do they care about moral or ethical game-play values. In their eyes at the end of the day who won the battle or has the better gear? But that's not really so much about the game-play experience as it is feeding ego or making money off casual game players.

  • seamus sent me

    slowpoke...

  • Dats mah comment and athene read it. Im happy

  • 3:58 lol spit at camera

  • You are all stupid who think this is a good idea, the RMT's will take advantage of this and your games economy will be ruined because they are relentless.

  • 4. I can save all that money for myself, with out spending any on rent, food, etc.

    I can buy stuff i really like to have such as a new LED TV, a better computer (which i don't really need, but there's always a better computer), trips to warm places, and lots of more stuff i normally can't do with the money i get every month besides of this money i am going to earn from this wonderful game.

    Do i need any other reason? No i don't think so.

    Cheers good fellows!

  • 2. I can earn my living by playing a great game for exactly how much or long time i like without anyone complaining about it, and as i play it says "Kaching" in my bankaccount. Thats the best part.

    3. I don't need to do anything else i don't like to do to enjoy a good life.

    Yes, i am a sick-pensioner so i got all the time i need to do it (lucky me).

  • Oh yes, as a pro-gamer, i am going to play this game as i never had before, and with a differece this time.

    I can earn a living by doing that. I have been playing the Diablo series from the day they were released, i still play Diablo + Hellfire.

    There's more then once reason why.

    1. The game is cool by itself, i have played Diablo + Hellfire and Diablo II + LOD from the very first beginning.

  • /watch?v=5U2yDPR1tZs

    

  • Your pay $13 a month to play a game or $60 for a game , you have a opportunity to make your money back.. and you complain? If you don't like it its simple don't use it! If you don't put it in the games us merchants will do it anyways , and we don't care if its a violation of the terms of service...

  • 3:33  - 3:44 :)

  • Ok lets hope BOP items are not the best items in the game.

  • @xvoodxx Id hope for the other way around tbh.

  • i used to think alliance was scrubs but now i know you are a foe to be respected

  • dudes cmon!!! make money gaming??? is the fucking dream of every fucking gamer in da fucking world! n now blizzard (best game company ever) give us that? seriously i dont know how exist people that dont like it ¬¬"

  • @gltal00 You know why people dont like it you idiot? Its going to ruin the games economy, Have fun with RMT's ruining the game.

  • Nubbins EU West

  • eu Tragedy4Athene

  • you changed my mind dude real monney is going to be awesome !

  • Athene, I like the way you think and I think this does seem to be the future of gaming. And I don't like it at all. I disagree with most points here but the one question I have is : WHAT SKILL?, everything in D3 is based on RNG. Theres no skill involved in farming for hours and hours and/or getting lucky on drops. It's just how much time you're willing to mindlessly Grind . Same thing with gold farming in wow. If this were to depend on skill I would support it for the most part.

  • @stravos11 finding a way to stack magic find on gear while at the same time being able to own with the gear, as an eg.

  • Hey guys checkout my new song thats a tribute to athene on my channel!!! TTTT GUYS!!

  • Can we just get rid of athene and put mia rose as the star?

  • Athene, even if this is major trolling, I love the attitude. This is the future and you are a forward thinker. Props for your kind words towards Diablo 3.

  • AtheneWins = Biggest idiot on Youtube.

  • @austrian77 gtfo

  • @austrian77 Umad bro? Jealous perhaps? Got pwned by Athene at some point? Wish you had his girl? Wish you could make $ like him? Wish you could make all the girls on the street laugh? Yeah... Ur mad bro...

  • @freakman420 Well, with that logic he must be jealous of Adolf Hitler. Because he mad money, had a girl, and made all of his people laugh. Yeah, you're a fucking idiot. Step up, nigga.

  • @SpennyPwns Ok then the only other logic I can think of is that you're a pathetic narcissist who constantly bitches and whines when you don't get the attention that you crave so badly. Is your pussy feeling a little better now that some one is finally talking to you on youtube? Hey you told me to step up. But I'm not a nigga... Homie G dog...

  • @freakman420 How did you conclude that? That shows how intelligent you are. Making a broad assumption after about 50 words. Hahah, pleb. Does it make you feel better, thinking you insulted a lower being than you? Well, you're a damn cool guy. You can make people sad! Except for the part where you don't. You're obviously really insecure about yourself, and you try lying to yourself. Haha, I feel bad for you. Go jerk off some more. Maybe read a book.

  • @SpennyPwns You're just further proving my point. Attention whore.

  • @freakman420 And look who won't stop replying. You're obviously mad. Hahahah.

  • @SpennyPwns If you don't expect a reply to something you got another thing coming lol. If you don't want people to reply then maybe ur the one who should stop replying :] <--- That's my mad face I guess

  • @freakman420 So you're just trying to say you need to have the last word to keep your internet ego at its peak? Too bad you're not smart, and you're just making yourself look even less smart. Hahah, so you ARE mad.

  • @SpennyPwns Nah actually I'm having quite a bit of fun trolling on you xD I feel successful cause you keep rambling on trying to make me mad and I think ur getting frustrated lmao X)

  • @freakman420 Hahah, no that's you. HERPA DERPA I MAKE PPL TALK I TROLL! If only you knew what trolling was, go play Skyrim and jerk off. I also like how you put in emoticons because you don't know what to say, and you want to appear non-chalant. Besides, how would you be trolling me if you admitted it? What are you, a caveman?

  • @SpennyPwns ur still failing at making me angry rofl. And I love talking so ur doing me a favor. Oh and using the smiley face is a common thing on the internet, what do you live under a rock or something? X)

  • @freakman420 Yes.

  • Lol, you realize he's making fun of people that support the real-money auction house right? "More talented than managers running companies... a lot more intelligence lot more skilled... making a living out of it, not have to go flip burgers at mac-ds.

  • if you dont like the real money auction house than dont use it... remember that players that use the AH got their items from the game, that mean YOU can get it to if you put the work in it... alot of these crafted items can also be obtained by making them... i play wow and have a toon with each profesion that i worked hard to get just so i dont spend countless ammounts of gold on getting the items i need. you can do the same, this is only a sudgestions.

  • @Athene: did you even consider that some gamers use low quality PC because they don't have the money to buy better computers? (money are limited by their parents ... ) Think about a kid that likes to play the game and they see other ppl with money that can buy items and will own that kid... how will he feels ? He will scream to his parents that the game is not equal for players and is equals for players with same amount of money..

    There are ppl in the work that 10$ is their food for 1 week.

  • @mariustabac thats just a part of life and growing up. not being overly jealous over other people that have more money than you. it applies in this video game just like it applies to real life. When i was a kid my parents didn't have very much money and I didn't get to have all the things that other kids had, but i grew up, got my own job, earn my own money, and now i decide what i buy with my money. if $10 dollars is your food for 1 week, how do you afford diablo3 and the internet? prioritize.

  • @pcjunkie05 1.Video games aren't meant to do this.

    2.It wasn't a literal situation so stop trying to make it one.

  • What about bots?

  • Bullshit Athene. You think it will turn out like that? Really? Who cares about profit? We care about gameplay, and fun. We might be 'scrub nubs', but the majority of gamers are scrub nubs. So the majority will use this shit. Hard work and skillz won't matter, how much money you have in the real world will.

  • ha ha ho, ha hi ho, ha ho ha, ha hi hi, ha ho ha

  • I am really looking forward to this, and the way you talk to people through your camera its like your an inspirational speaker lol its great :)

  • Athene you brought a new sight to me. Thanks 4 that. Thumbs up TTTT!!

  • To all that hates the Real Money Auction House but like diablo 3, dont say that you wont buy the game just dont use it ffs. Just play the game and dont use Real Money Auction House then we that like it can use it like pro's.

  • Well... I never knew I could make money out of getting a game for free =b

  • try windiablo3key(dot)com, it's awesome, got my key !

  • Your attitude is awesome!

  • Athene check first if blizzard invented this and if they are first couse entropia had that idea way back in year :)

  • It would seem the rape of Navila1 is complete, he has turned to mocking...must have run out of derp he thought was unique.

  • Great Athene, really looking forward to repetitive content? Really looking forward to ridiculous low drop rates. I play games for fun, not to satisfy some grinding looser broken dreams.

  • If you think you are going to make a living from this you are fucking stupid. There are millions of players that will be playing Diablo 3 not even counting the chinese farmers... you really think you are going to make a living from this... haha thats laughable... its just Diablo 3 is Blizzards last real franchise... so where is the money going to come from after this? Oh, wait lets make a Real Money AH and tax it thats how. Just stupid.

  • FAIL, Athene I have been a fan for some time. This video is FAIL. If the world of video gaming is in a movement towards centralising around profit instead of fun count me out. Video games have always been about having fun and MMORPGS have always been about fair competition and testing the skill of the player not the size of their wallet. This is the end of MMORPGS if this is the future. Everything you just said was bullshit Athene. This decision by Blizzard is Pure bullshit.

  • I'm glad you made this video, and i think it is a step in on gaming, and people in the world dont appreciate gaming for what it is right now because they are bad, like you sort of said, support

  • who cares if you can make a living out of it, you play games for fun if someone else buys gear with real money thats not your problem, so now we can play diablo 3 have fun and even get a little money out of it if you want, perfect, besides if blizzard didnt include this service people would have bought items anyway only from other unsafe locations so in the end this only benefits the gamers. ;)

  • "u can live from diablo" -.-

    i dont know anything about prices but i just looked up that you get around 500 for a wow acc which u played 8 h a day for 6 months. is that correct?

    if so than not even the best player can make more than 1500 in a half year.

    250 per month? i cant live on that. chinese people can because their so poor.

    => we get gold farmers spending their day in farmin halls, we get noobs with perfect gear, we get "why should i play? i can just spend 10 $ instead of playing 1 week"

  • what..?

  • I love the real money AH in games. People do not like the idea of players buying their gear with cash but that is already happening. Now the people playing the game will sale the extra gear they find rather than just the farmers. It still takes skill to be the top players, you can't buy talent. I'm just hoping that SWTOR doesn't cut into too much of my D3 farming time. Great video!

  • Hi Everyone !

    We are new to youtube and could use some feedback on our "lets play" Minecraft series

    among other content we post. Thank in advance <3

    Much Love Rachael&John TTTT

  • Diablo 3 - My new occupation bitches. Give me the monays

  • Sure the Real Money AH. somekinds suxx. BUT u buy Diablo2 stuff on ebay, so wheres the diverens?

    And u can MAKE money with the ah, all Items drop random, so epic drop and u get 100euro/dollar/9999999999yen or so.

    I like it.

  • "this is like heaven" yes yes yes yes yes!

    i can't wait to get this shit, all i do is play video games, i don't go to school anymore, and i wanna start selling stuff like the real ah money thing, that willl make me happy :) if only blizz would do it with world of warcraft to make the chinese farmers inactive, they wouldn't have to cater to all the fuckn scrub newbs crying that they get pwned everyday, cuz they're making money off the real ah thing.

  • in wow or any other game ppl can buy in-game money for real money and get good items right now so whats so different about this? lol it'll be the same thing but now u can do it too without risk of getting banned which banning farmers didnt stop them anyways.. obviously u wont be able to RMT or even in-game money trade the BEST items in the game but like in wow and shit ull be able to buy decent gear.. stop complaining so much baddies and just dont buy the game if u dont like it

  • I don't like the amount of credit Athene is giving to Blizzard. There is already a ton of F2p games out there that have this real money trading system built into the game. Check out some of the PwE games. Battle of Immortals had this system since the beginning of it's launch. The reason so many gamers don't like this system is because they know that many f2p games turn into Pay to win games and slowly the game dies. A die-hard fan of Diablo wouldn't want D3 to die cuz of a pay to win mechanic.

  • Athene, the real problem is that a person's economic status in real life shouldn't have an effect on their ability to play a game. If it's the future of gaming, then I want no part in it.

  • @SpunkySkunk347

    Yeah i agree, but what about taxes? That's one thing i don't really get, if you can make living off youtube, games, how does taxes work?

  • @SpunkySkunk347 im with u on that

  • I agree with you completely man about it being the future of gaming. I have my own reasons as to not having a job and it has nothing to do with being a gamer. I have treated gaming almost like a job at times and to see the potential of being able to have a financial return for my effort and time put in.

  • TTTT! Hey guys, Sollyhol here.

  • Could not agree more, this RMAH will be the future of multiplayer gaming. Like it or not. (and I like it)

    RM buying, selling is in multiplayer gaming ANYWAY. About time Blizzard stepped up and did this. Well done Blizz!

  • The game is on, mutherfucker. Go HORDE!

  • Yeah, more yogscast, luv u both.

    Also, where did the top comments go?

  • loved your input i agree 100%

  • Hey, if people want to embrace the real cash AH they can. It's one step closer to "plugging in"

  • blizzard should be president, they're much better at creating jobs.

  • @TheElitedeath If Blizzard were president there would be a cost for breathing, and there would be a Money Tax as follows: "Half of all the money in the US now belongs to Blizzard Entertainment because... uh... we like money"

  • TTTTBros Help, i've helped you now it's your time to return the favor, So watch a video, or leave a comment ether or helps.. Thanks

    Athene, Together to the top friend

  • Have a good day

  • @rdrakken Sir, being a manager at a job is something half-wits do everyday I know this cause have to deal with these morons when getting services or products.

    Your idea that top level gaming is a simple as knowing when to press 1,2,3,4 is dumb as fuck. I suppose Alberta Enstein is a dumbass too, cause all Did is know what to press E=mc^2, like any fucking hamburg flipper can do. Go head type it in yourself.. so ez huh? You nitwit.

  • @Navila1 Congrats on proving me correct as you think the few people you have come across represent everyone...so I guess that means everyone in your line of work must also be a short sighted closed minded idiot since you are.

    BTW, lol at comparing gaming to Enstein. Its like comparing a child playing with his see-n-say with an NFL player...lol. Yo, I know when the BOSS is going to flame us and when the tank is going to shieldwall, im more like Einstein and less like a burgerflipper yo! No...

  • @rdrakken Congrats on proving you have no formal education. You couldn't even qualify to take a college class in game theory. Nor do you know the history of gaming and how it relates to life. You fail to know that in fact gaming was a measure of your intelligence thought history and still is today.

  • @Navila1 Oh noes! I wont qualify to take game theory because I dont think someone who PLAYS a game is as smart as Enstein...at Retarded University.

    BTW, loved how you tried to draw a line from Game Theory which was not built around VIDEO games to that of this topic. The list of games used for game theory lists all possible strateies per player, Pure strategy and sequential.

    Video games, would be listed as FEW possibile strategies with FEW pure strategy equlibria proving low skill required.

  • @rdrakken If you play games for dumbass that is your own personal problem. Secondly, your response about game theory only shows your lack of education.

  • @Navila1 I give you congrats for yet ANOTHER reply with no actual refute showing what is this the 6th time you have no real intellegence at all?

    By all means, go into any credible college and tell them video game players are as smart as Enstein because game theory says so and watch the response from Professors about what game theory actually is and where video games would be on the chart...nevermind, it would be over your head.

  • @rdrakken Start here kid. Go Google games to boost a kids IQ. Play those games, until you deadwood mind starts to work. The probable is your mind is too dense right now. I don't know how to explain things to retarded kids. After you get smarter, you will understand.

  • @Navila1 Start here kid. Talk to a female, try to get laid, fail, cry, get a job, make money, find a prostitute, pay her, have sex, go to college, talk to a professor, tell him your World of Warcraft playing equals to being able to figure out E=MC2, get laughed at. Cry, pick up a gun, point it at your head...pull the trigger because you fail at life.

  • @rdrakken Sounds like you had a rough life. I don't want to follow your path.

  • @Navila1 Sounds like you dont have sex. I don't want to follow your path.

    Derp durp hurr durr.

  • @rdrakken you should just stop replying to that guy, you've made him look retarded enough already

  • @Deeznuwts no amount of retarded looking is enough for that level of stupidity.

  • @rdrakken You getting bent over ever day isn't the sex we are looking for.

  • @Navila1 3 weeks later you and thats all you can come up with? Something that basically says "hey, you just said im lacking in sex so the first thing that came into my mind was you being bent over in front of me"...

    Congrats, you make make grade school insults sound like Shakespearean sonnets.

  • @rdrakken No i didn't come up with that at all. That is how long it took a personal investigator to get back to me with the information on you.

  • @Navila1 Ooh that one was a little better, you actually had to put some thought into it...a personal investigator...to investigate why you were thinking about me being bent over in front of you when I said you needed more sex?

    Wouldnt know why you would need someone to investigate why you want man ass...are you so disconnected from your preferrences perhaps? Wouldnt doubt it...

    May as well stop man, you are out of your league.

  • @rdrakken negative, just because in an allegorical sense i have already bent you over in this thread doesn't mean I want to also in real life. Besides you were well past sloppy seconds.

  • @Navila1 hahaha, yet isnt it funny how many thumbs up my responses have gotten and how many other comments there are about you getting owned for your stupidity...

    Oh wait, you bending me over and having some man ass must be a part of that fantasy world where you are as smart as Einstein!

    What a crazy imagination, man ass and gamers being the smartest people in history...what other wonders are there in that head of yours...out...of...your...leag­ue...lol.

  • @rdrakken No, not at all. In every game there are only a few players at the top and a bunch of jelly scrubs at the bottoms. Of course more people will like your comments because there are more players at the bottom sucking with you making up irrational excuses for blowing. Misery loves company and you are a fitting example. Secondly, i am sickened by your repeated use of the phrase "man ass" i have never heard anyone talk like that before...but that seems way to common for you.

  • @Navila1 Hurr Durr, Derp, Durp Derp Hurr Durr.

    people are better than others at games thus I just proved game players are like Einstein!

    BTW, my man ass, you wants it. I am bending over for you, my man ass awaits, it yearns for you.

    /e alarm sounds

    /e you wake up

    It was all just a dream, there is no man ass in front of you, you are still all alone.

  • @rdrakken You are rambling nonsense. Yes, Einstein was into games and the highest respect and admiration for one to the game players of his day Emanuel Lasker.  Just stfu and learn kid.

  • @Navila1 You are rambling nonsese. Yes, Einstein played Chess which is nothing like a video game other than both being a game. Congrats again on bringing your derp into another post. Durp derp hurr durr derp.

    Also, Einstein used to shit, I also shit, thus I am as smart as Einstein! hahahaha, your logic is GREAT cause I can make me and Einstein on the same level of intellect so easily! I need to bring this shit to self help meetings so no one ever commits suicide again! EVERYONE IS EINSTEIN!

  • @Navila1 Wait wait wait!

    I need to show the HIGHEST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION for one of the greatest shitters of his day Mr Richard Hughes who died at the age of 43 after having been fused to his chair for 2 years by shit and piss.

    He shit, Einstein shit. Richard Hughes was as smart as Einstein!

    Making fun of you is like making fun of a child...easy.

    Damn, I just insulted kids everywhere...sorry kids, I didnt mean you were as dumb as this guy!

  • @rdrakken No one cares who you have respect for just scrub who sucks at life and anything that represent life even in an artificial sense like games ... No one cares about this shit and piss you sit on in your chair and like to ramble about, which only insults yourself. However, who and what Einstien does and has respect for does matter.

  • @Navila1 awe, did wittle baby wampum get his wittle baby feewings hurt :-(

    Its ok, I will tell mommy its time to change wittle baby wampums dippie.

  • @rdrakken Referring to yourself in the 3rd person sad.

  • @Navila1 feeling the need to tell someone you are doing things like that means you are lonely and possibly a danger to others.

    You really suck at this.

  • @rdrakken I believe you when you tell me you are lonely, but please child you are hardly dangerous.

  • Athene is coming for the darkspear!!!

    i'm not leaving orgimmar without a whole handful of rape whistles

  • Athene ... you rocks! You motivated gamers with special talents and skills in gaming to improve even better and stuffs! I SUPPORT YOU! I am behind you! From Singapore!

  • I had the same idea when I heard this.

    I thought if I'm gonna own at that game I can make some good cash. :D

  • @starfox300 totaly owning shuld be a job

  • Yo Athene, just to let you know. after your comment " blizzard are going to take the blame" theres a game called Entropia Universe which the entire economy is real. maybe check it out!

    its a rubish game but even mob drops drops real $ !!

  • Horde is gonna get their asses handed to them on Darkspear, I'm afraid.

    Good luck to you!

  • Based on your accent and the name athenewins, would you by any chance happen to be greek?

  • Laughable.

  • MORE WITH YOGSCAST!

  • too bad there is not much skill at 85. First stun = gg. Cool about real money in D3, im ONLY skeptical because Blizzard merged with ACTIVISION

  • Love you dude! You're so smart and prove my exact thoughts are not just mine! Gamers for life
