Screens are obviously not fake. So, at least part of this information is also correct. BTW I don't think that real money auction is THAT bad. Top items will certainly have some kind of bind to character or account, so you won't be able to be imba without even playing the game.
I dont really buy this...Real money for items? WTf?!?!?! thats retarded.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a real money AH is esseeeeennnntially the same as having ingame d2jsp?
I don't understand why people would complain about this, has nobody used d2jsp before? It IS the same
Really, some people are complaining because they don't exactly feel like being stood up by some rich dude in PvP who has barely played the game as much as someone else and has better gear just because they can afford it with real money.
Okay, and in what part it differs from today in D2 or even from tomorrow in D3 if not real-money AH?
Not having a real money auction house will not prevent that (people are doing the exact same thing with external website today). I don't get the complaining...

It comes down to the popularity and underground status of something. For example, not everyone goes to rave parties, there's few of them around and they are usually illegal as hell, it's an underground thing. A dance club is popular, and people go to them without any problem, all the time and much more often.
What I'm trying to get by is that I would rather see a small community of people doing the whole RMT thing than a massive majority of the community doing it. If you make it a normal mechanic of the game, then the chances that everyone is doing it is massive, and it would be accepted.

It wont be a "I have no money so i cant buy items". you are ALSO going to find items, which you can sell on the RMAH, then use that $$ to buy items on the RMAH. Wow, that was easy?

A Post Concerning The Real-Money Auction House:
"Except real money trading has always been present in Diablo 2. Except now it's going to be officially supported which will reduce scams, prevent the funding of the black market so your kids will no longer be exposed to dangerous life ruining drugs like the cancer causing marijuana."
Auction houses don't fit the world of diablo in my opinion (2 many random variables on most items), a big game server only for trading seemed more legit in my opinion, but i guess they want people to interact less with each other for some reason, ingame trading was half the fun in diablo 2 for me in some periods, shame they will ruin that with an auction house.
I'm going to stay loyal to Diablofans and wait their posts and videos. Only seems fair. It's not about another site's credibility to me just an attempt to be loyal to the site I've followed Diablo 3 with from almost the start of Diablo 3 info. In short as far as I'm concerned this post and the info don't exist.
Not that I'm not grateful for your bringing us info on D3.
Fuck blizzard and their greedy asses if this real money bs is for real..
This should work like ebay if I read it right. Other than the usage fee, the money you use to purchase items won't go to Blizzard - it will go to that player's account. I don't really see this as greedy though. As a business, it's quite genius to cash on something that's going to happen anyways. I know Blizz has tons of income from game subscriptions and such, but it's not like they just keep it all locked in a vault. It's used in the upkeep of servers, new servers, and working on game content, etc. To me, this extra income could be more support for the game in the future so might as well have it monitored by the people who are in charge of the game rather than some Chinese sweat shop.
My only worry (which rivals the argument, "If you don't like it then don't use it - just use the gold AH") is that it will be easily subjected to player abuse and greed - namely, people will only want to sell the "good" items for real money or for far too much money - the prices in the SS are around $3-5, but there will be $100+ listings (and people to buy them) unless there are regulations, etc. I guess we'll find out for sure quite soon.

NO items are bind-to-anything.

Well, then i have only one thought.

Short beta could spell a 2011 release.
I wonder when the beta start date is...

I hear they eat babies over there too.

Not everybody has the ability to think of areas outside of their own. Or of others.
Not sure why he would think EST considering Blizz themselves are in the PDT(PST) timezone.
