I was hoping that gold would hold its value in the economy and could be used to actually purchase items from other players.
I can see the downside to this being gold farming etc, but otherwise we see item farming to barter and hours of trading to end up getting what you want potentially.

Were you opposed to SoJs being a currency and really not a form of bartering?
The duped SOJ problem was fixed by the ladder system. The real problem was that high level items were abundant because of hackers...that's what transformed bartering into a form of currency.
As long as items are actually as rare as their drop rates, you don't have to worry about this happening.

uh no, that would make the game too much like WoW... the bartering system is what makes diablo unique from other games, and having MF characters and such, it actually makes everyone make a char to find items and trade items for their other characters

yeah but some feautures from WOW to d2 won't hurt
im not saying bring everything from WOW in
but i think gold should have some worth in currency
blizzard will keep diablo 3 how diablo 2 lod was, just changing up the ui, the graphics, and introducing new classes, skills, more monsters, and also new and improved Acts, and items and such. i doubt they will change the way we exchange items
well thats not really a use, repairs are cheap and so are potions, i still had tons of cash for no reason. The only thing i really spent almost a good amount of gold on was reviving my merc

that'd be just remaking d2
their making d3
so i expect some better changes, especially in economy..
So gold really is usually pretty worthless in Diablo games. I for one would like to see gold a lot more rare and usefull other than repairing gear. It would be nice for once to be able to sell items to people and have the gold usefull for something.
Maybe make gold drop a lot less, increase cost of items immensely, don't drop so many useless crap items off monsters.
make soketing alot more usefull and wanted, thus creating a moneysink, since you want your gear to have those sockets.
transphering the magica altributes of all but uniqe atrifacts onto other artifacts with a different look. For those that want a cool look of the char, but still want to be able to survive.
mana and health potions are not droppable, only buyable
skills are bought, not klicked in
will edit with more as soon as I have been to the toilet

Perhaps the implausibility of its own existence makes the skeleton think it hilarious to hide in a barrel, cackling intermittently for some three hundred years until a victim happens by?
Globes of health. That float. Riiight
... and no one thought twice about chugging something that had been stuffed into a poisonous mummy for the last thousand years. This magical orb shit is going to ruin my sense of immersion big time.

Diablo is about items and bartering. Buying items is just as lame in video games as it is on ebay.

Actually, I feel a mix of the two is the best way for the game.
I hope that you can actually buy decent items in shops- and that there is a good trade system developed within the game.
Let's have our cake- and devour it too.

Would you be opposed to pvp rewards?
I know its similar to certain WoW ideas but... I wouldn't mind

Well, basing it solely on ears wouldn't work, since you could just farm a friend's ears. But some sort of pvp reward would be an interesting idea.
so we don't need to use jsp to trade
