Diablo 3 Launch Topic

Selling the gold directly benefits Blizzard and the people who buy items but doesn't benefit the rest of us who play the game normally.

Making real money trading official is going to encourage more botting. Using TF2 as an example, there are people out there with huge idling rings.

Now instead of cosmetic items, imagine people with $20,000 worth of items (like mattie in TF2) tied directly to your enjoyment and power in the game.

I think the only difference I see is that with TF2, you have dedicated servers and there are the "official" servers, but that's not the only way to play. I think I would be less inclined to cheat if I had the chance of not being able to play at all. Plus, you would have to spend $60 on a new game for a new account unlike TF2. On the other hand, I did occasionally see some botting in WoW and people flying through the map automining and gathering nodes.
 
Why does anyone else's power or items affect you? Seems to be a single player game to me, unless you're playing coop. But it's not like you have to worry about someone being OP in PVP or anything.

Yeah if Blizzard catches you botting, particularly the real money auction house they will def summary ban you - and then all that money thats stacked in your account will mean nothing.

They were supposed to do that even when real money trading wasn't official. It didn't stop anyone.

Once you finish the campaign which would probably be only about 20 hours, the rest of the game is PVP and collecting rare items.

The difference is, instead of simply losing your wow account you lose all the money you've accrued on it...someone who's botted 500 dollars who can't do anything with it other than spending it on blizzard stuff, getting their battle.net account banned seems kind of wasteful :D

You know you can cash out? That's the point of real money trading.

There's no reason why you should leave the money on the bot. And if you are talking about the items on the bot, that's the same situation as botting without official RMT.

Unless it was a recent change - I wasn't aware that you can cash out, when I tried to it didn't present an option. But like i said, I don't see the game being heavily effected by it, I'm sure you'll quote me on it in a month or two if im wrong :D

You couldn't cash out in the beta if that's what you're referring to.
 
Nah, I misread the Blizzard General FAQ for Diablo 3 - it's very poorly worded and somewhat misleading..

Can players choose to get cash from currency-based auction house sales, instead of having the proceeds deposited into their Battle.net account?

Yes, as an advanced feature, players will have the option of attaching an account with an approved third-party payment service to their Battle.net account. Once this has been completed, proceeds from the sale of items in the currency-based auction house can be deposited into their third-party payment service account. "Cashing out" would then be handled through the third-party payment service. Note that this process will be subject to applicable fees charged by Blizzard and the third-party payment service. Also, any proceeds from the sale of items in the currency-based auction house that have been deposited into the Battle.net account will not be transferrable to the third-party payment service account. Not all regions will support this advanced feature at launch. Region-specific details, as well as details regarding which third-party payment services will be supported and the fee that Blizzard will charge for the cash-out process, will all be provided at a later date.
 
I bought the Annual Pass in WoW so I could get Diablo 3 for free. But nooooo, I have to be 18, so they removed my mount and Diablo 3 AFTER I've paid for it. Fuck you Blizzard.
