I have played Diablo 3 since the start, 1300hrs later. I have used the real money auction house as that is how Diablo was designed around an auction house both gold and real money. Both to profit blizzard and to reduce the people using third party sites for getting gear and gold. So how do people feel about spending real money and now having the auction house removed.
I know my self I feel sour, as now there is no opportunity to get something back over the next few years, it is now gone!!!!. I know some people would have spent thousands on this game and they must be really annoyed. Would any one have spent there real money if they knew they would close the real money auction house. NO you would not!!! You may buy some gold to purchase materials for crafting. So blizzard, makes the money, and the people that have spent the money, well there is no compensation, you just have to grin and bare it.
I think that the auction houses can exits in Diablo, for the people that want to use it.
Like make it only available after reaching one character to paragon 100. That way everyone starts self found for a very long time. And give self found bonuses to people, like extra magic find and movement speed, a permanent puzzle ring affect or even some cool looking wings or something to give people the incentive to stay self found. But be able to sell any unwanted gear for a real money profit or for gold to gear an auction house character.
Once you have top end gear is there really a point to having it? There is only so much farming you can do until you get tired of that, and when you do pick up another good item like one you already have, your just going to brimstone it, instead of sell it on the auction house.
I welcome the changes to the game and it will be sooooo much better to play from a self found point of view, like it should have been in the first place. And it takes balls to take the auction house out but at the same time it really burns the people that have put allot of time, effort and now money into a game. I do hope there can be a solution and people can come up with some good ideas, there is allot of talent at blizzard and i hope they can come up with something creative.
