Put a "subject to change" clause and it's all on the buyer. Then after that, don't make ridiculous changes, try to keep the game constant enough and not make poor decisions that need to be dramatically remedied. Don't make big ass mistakes, Blizzard.
Subject to change doesn't provide 100% protection nor does it prevent people from thinking you tricked them. It's merely a cover your ass clause that can be overturned with the right argument and evidence.
Because it's a good spec, they should bring other specs in line over time. How does that affect the AH? We are talking about it relating to the AH.
The downfall seems to be buying these very specialized items, and I think that's a risk that people need to be responsible for.
Of course it relates to the AH. The WW barb build doesn't work without the right type of gear (trust me I tried). How do you suspect everyone got that gear? You seem to think that talking about popular specs doesn't include the AH. ANYTHING you discuss about builds, especially if that build needs a lot of one type of stat can be brought back to the AH.
I get the distinct feeling that jwylie311 is trolling/baiting.
Funny I feel the same, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt... and I'm bored while I edit my next episode of Diablo Digest so it's something to do
I don't know if you play on console or something, because on console apparently it is easier to earn your own items. But if youre on PC you are in a very small demographic of people. A tiny demographic.
There's almost no way in hell that you could tackle MP10 inferno all the way through by only earning your own items.
No, I play PC exclusively. And I'd like to see where you get your demographics, which I bet you you're making this up on the spot.
You definitely never played D2, where the drops weren't a whole lot worse that current D3, but we played and did item hunts for the fun of it. Items are supposed to be discovered, not bought at a convenience store. I play D3 exactly the same way as I played D2. I've gone up till MP5-7 with my friends, and I basically stopped playing a month after release and started playing again a few weeks ago.
I came back because RoS looks brilliant, it will get the game closer to how a Diablo game should be, and I'm glad the AH will be removed. Now the game will function the way a Diablo game should be played. You've done yourself a great disservice by relying on such a convenient method of finding great items, stepping away from that incredible feeling you get when you complete a set with your friends. But soon you'll find that out for yourself.
I mean, how different can items REALLY get at a primordial level. You need some HP, some resist, some of your main stat, some crit, some crit damage, some attack speed maybe. Specialization should exist, but it shouldn't be black and white, it should be should be marginal and I think it is. At that level, you can afford to wiggle your items around a little bit for different builds.
At the moment, items really aren't that different. But when Loot 2.0 hits, it may be a different story. It's not surprising to me that Loot 2.0 and the AH removal may join us around the same time.
As far as:
If we are intended to trade at all, what's the difference between using trade chat and the AH?
There are definitely differences.
Clans will benefit from a non-AH environment. Not having an AH is going to hugely motivate groups of friends/people to form clans. Trading within a clan will be much friendlier and easier than in public trade channels. So basically, not having an AH will give clans more value and fun. (I understand that not everyone wants to play with other people, but I would be curious to see a ratio.)
Players who are "primarily"self-found will not be as far behind "traders". Behind, but not as far.
There will be more social interaction throughout the game in general. (This obviously isn't a plus for everyone, but it IS a difference. Some might not like social interaction, but maybe the vast majority do.)
