Bots/Duping completely ruined the game, albeit are probably the reason partially for it still living.
and last, and mostly, only a few ways to spec your champion, otherwise you're completely worthless and have to reroll.
White knight mode activated much? its my personal feelings and nothing you said changes my mind, if you think its an ego problem, then maybe it is, i dont really care lol. The way i see it, if you buy an item off the RMAH, you didnt earn it. you could make the argument that the money they spent, they probably earned, and by extension they earned the item, but its too disconnected IMO, whats in the game is in the game, bringing real money into it gives people advantages that they normally wouldnt have. Ding you hit 60, you pay 30 bucks, have full gear. that is just shit IMO lol.
I frequent this site a lot, i have read pretty much every blue post worth linking since D3 was announced, i have an (i would say) intimate understanding of the philosophies behind D3's development. I get that if the RMAH didnt exist, third party sites would crop up just like D2jsp and it would happen like in D2, which i don't want. i do understand that its pretty much required that Blizz added the RMAH to counter this. What i am saying is that IN. MY. OPINION. the people who are going to use the RMAH (buying or selling, but im talking about buying atm) aren't earning those items. The same way it was shit that people bought off D2jsp, its shit that they are going to buy off this. Its a pointless argument in that nothing can stop the greed and impatience of people, they will find a way to cheat items. I am all for trading items for other items, or gold, because its artbitrary, you can go farm items and gold. not everyone has RL money to spend on digital items.
I disagree with you. The above poster had a great point. In order for it to make it to the AH, someone has to find it and not want it. Some people have more money than they have time, which is actually me in most cases. Not to say I'm going to buy items on the RMAH, but if I do, how does it effect you? Blizzard is letting people play the game how they want to, and offering services that people used regardless, in a more secure fashion. You are indeed entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't necessarily give anyone an advantage over you. Skill will still play a role into the game, and if you have more time than you do money, or just refuse to use the RMAH, then you will either have better items just because of time spent, or you can just keep your pride.
I know there were numerous ti mes when I was in Iraq and got a chance to play WoW (Only game that was playable with my wife @ 2000 ping), that I bought gold because I had more money than time, which allowed me to buy things, or play in a way that I wanted to, because of my time constraints. While having an opinion, you should also understand other peoples opinions and have an open mind, not everyone is the same as you.
edit. Also one more thing. To think that it's going to be super cheap to deck out a champion is a bit silly tbh. Think about how rare items are supposed to be, especially without duping. Now think about how much these rare items will go for. Generally the market for items starts out high, and as it becomes more accessible, and or the demand raises, the prices go up, and vice versa. Good items, if they appear on the RMAH will probably be affordable in the sense of spending 100$ or whatever makes sense at the time to gear out your champion, however the super rare legendary items and set items etc, do you think ppl are going to be posting these for super cheap, if at all?
