Every legendary shown said "bound to account", that's a complete fail and not listening to the community at all. Just remove the Auction House if you install the expansion and call it a day.
p.s. In order to comment on the youtube video, i had to remove the words "Auction House". Wow...
p.p.s I called loot 2.0 with the expac a few weeks back.
The AH was a solution to the Botting Spam and 3rd Party sites scamming people. It is still needed for that purpose so it should never be removed - but the BEST items in the game should only be able to be found not bought/traded! A BOA model is that solution to the issue that the AH created. BOTH need to Co-exist
I couldn't disagree more, it was implemented so blizzard got more of the profit pie after the initial sale. It's their own fault for giving gold a "value". People had NO problems trading for 13 years and counting in diablo 2. If you went through a 3rd party site, that was a RISK you were either Dumb enough or Brave enough to attempt. BOA is completely ludicrous, how am i supposed to trade with my friends?
Diablo is a loot FINDING game.. so I think FINDING the BEST items is what makes the most sense in Diablo. Diablo is not a loot BUYING/TRADING game.. to me anyway. FINDING is a lot more exciting than Trading..
I concur, i am not a pro AH advocate by any means, I'm merely saying: Get rid of the Ever Increasing inflation machine.
*edit* - while still allowing me to trade stuff i dont need to my friends who might.
I completely agree that trading should still exist. i am just saying that the top 0.5% of items that drop in the game if found are for you and for you alone. all the other 99.5% of items that drop but are not as ultimate can still be Traded/Sold on AH or to friends. I just want to have items in the game that if I find myself i am going to be like 'HOLY FUCKING SHIT' and sit there looking at the screen with a grin on my face.
