KiNgBrAdLeY7: I 'd rather throw my money in shady third parties, and GLADLY i might add, instead of EVER again throwing a SINGLE CENT the Blizzard's way!
Players got the most money out of the RMAH, not Blizz.
KiNgBrAdLeY7: just to see HOW MANY actually believe that F.A.C.T.! Over and out. Let Diablo 3 die. Miserably, as it should.
It's not a fact, it's an opinion. Opinion that is predominantly aimed at launch Diablo 3 and not what it became after.
Some people just jump on the bandwagon without playing the game to boot. I might've not played the launch Diablo 3 but still played enough of it back when AH/RMAH was a thing and good drops were scarce and it wasn't -that- bad.
Obviously, after the patches started rolling in it got better and better. It's not perfect still by any means but people who discredit what it is now based on what it was shouldn't voice their opinions as facts.
KiNgBrAdLeY7: Oh, and a simple question, dear fanboy,
How am I a fanboy? Because I said that RMAH on its own isn't that bad of a thing when the game didn't even have leaderboards of any sort? Or that you shouldn't think it's literally the same deal it was at launch?
That's absurd.
KiNgBrAdLeY7: IF they wanted to make an AUCTION HOUSE, WHY wasn't it in IN-GAME money/currency
Now I'm questioning if you even touched the game as the game DID have an auction house that operated with in-game gold.
KiNgBrAdLeY7: Huh? Wouldn't THAT render 3d parties useless and with greater ease?
No. WoW, RuneScape, basically any MMO or game with currency and trading has tons of RWT going on even with in-game currency auction houses. People will buy stuff with real money so they can avoid grind.
