Technically the game really doesn't even have any ToS yet since it's not out yet.
All I'm going to say is that it is a "good thing" that it will attract more people to sell. The idea should be to create competition to the as-of-right-now illegal gold/item sellers and effectively instate a...
The thing is that I agree with you on most points. It's just that when it comes to real currency transactions you just "disagree on principle" which is basically you're just mad Blizzard is going to get rich exploiting it's fanbase. [/sarcasm]
Loot progression is already imbalanced. Loot...
Basically just saying people aren't being very rational about this. Most posts here are just Real Currency For Virtual Goods is Bad No Matter What. A lot of people are just repeating each other like puppets and dismissing anything that may give legitimate reason for such a feature.
Just look at...
It does effect everyone though. Every item and piece of gold spawned and introduced into the game effects the economy which will now be more persistent in an MMO fashion with the auction house. (whether virtual or real currency)
That's not what everyone is complaining about though.
I'm not...
I think he means that people are going to camp boss/unique monsters for rare loot to sell. Essentially, gambling their time and hoping to strike it rich.
The problem with this is that people already do that.
I don't know if I can fully see your point. It's true that it's opening up this forbidden fruit for people who normally don't have much experience with real-currency trading, but I honestly believe that people can take care of themselves.
Gambling isn't a bad thing. Diablo has always been a...
Please elaborate how that is different? Better yet, how does that even effect you?
The item is ALREADY being sold. There is already a large enough market for these deals that sellers can afford to lose accounts by the handful. Just because you're not out there buying your own share of armor...

Blizzard really should just have let gold sellers run D3's economy into the ground like usual and not tried anything to fix it. I mean, letting players sell trash for modest sums of cash in a casual video game? That's horrible!
Do you actually think this is a valid way to convey your ideas to other people?
Hey, I can do that too.
If you don't like the game, don't buy it and don't play it.
Oh, look at that! I just childishly ended the entire arguement without having to have a discussion at all.
blatantly stolen...
I hope that's in jest over how long diablo has been in development, because you took it entirely out of context.
As to the rest of your rant, I know I'm ****ing sick of having some jackass joining my game to spam their shitty website and then vanish. (Screwing with mob difficulty as well!)...
The real reason is probably not enough development time and a feature that no one will use. Blizzard has taken this to heart with a lot of their design decisions lately. (for better or worse) I mean, when you think about it, why would you create an offline character that you can't use online...
Just a lot of whining with nothing to support it. This is how old women spread rumors. Are you an old woman?
Huge difference. People play Diablo religiously and duping/gold selling is an actual problem that is about as solvable as racism/hatred on the internet. This, in all respect, should...
This is a GOOD idea. The reason gold/item sellers are so rampant in-game is because people are willing to pay. They are the real problem, but they're also people just like you or me. They're Blizzard's customers too.
Now let's consider this a little bit. Buyers are now more likely to buy from...
