I don't normally have to be this blunt man, but you're an idiot and you're HURTING YOUR OWN CAUSE by making polls like this.
Yes, you are actually making your cause seem like a joke. Why? Because you're making polls that are completely bogus, and you're making comparisons that make no sense to try to prove your point.
I've bought currency (and sold it later for a net profit) in several games. It's never made me rich, but it has enhanced my gaming experience more so that WoW pvp ever did.
Titles that legitimize this process create a market nuiance for the game that's both fun and actually promotes the healthy growth of the game economy (without illicit outside companies holding all the chips).
Broad sweeps of pvp development aren't in the cards, nor are they related to the RMAH, but you probably knew that already (at least I really hope so) and posted this to stir the pot. Consider the troll-bait taken.
I'm not trying to troll. It's a waste of everyones time.
My only point in how the RMAH and PvP is related is that they are developed from the same resource. The Diablo 3 development team. My point in the linked post is saying that Blizzard is spending their development resources on a smaller niche (people who pay real money for items). Some counter arguments were that the PvP community is smaller than people who pay real money for virtual goods.
This poll is only to judge which group was larger.
A question I have for you... would you want the same programmers and development minds going towards pvp that work on systems like an auction house???
I don't think you would. They'd be handled by completely different parts of the team. It's like the people in WoW who complain that there aren't more pvp balance changes when they see a bunch of art fixes go in... they're NOT THE SAME PEOPLE who would be working on it. Got it? NOT AT ALL THE SAME PEOPLE.
Completely invalid poll here... such a silly poll. In fact it's SUCH a silly poll that I'm tempted to vote for the RMAH just to tilt it AWAY From pvp since it's pretty obvious you only care about pvp and the point of this is to somehow prove that pvp is more desired than an RMAH through the most reliable of sources: the internet poll.
