i guess im wrong for trying to make money just off my gaming. i guess im wrong for trying to blame my problem on everything when its really just myself, just to add schizo effective isnt just schizophrenia its schizophrenia/bi polar. i guess im wrong for even mentioning anything on my mind and "poisoning the community". but hey its all good at the end of the day i know who i can lean on and i know who i can go to when i have my problems and trust me its not this site or you guys. its my father ABBA.
Really? I'm sorry you have delusions of grandeur when it comes to playing Diablo 3 and this forum. This is a place to provide thoughtful discussions, debates, and theorycrafting for stuff about the game. This is NOT a group therapy session about problems you have with not being able to make money off the video game. You clearlyu have not being following the economy if you thought 25c per mil was the going rate, news flash it hasn't been since probably October.
This isn't somewhere you can 'lean on' because you're too inept to realize that its just a video game, it was never meant to provide you with supplemental income, this game is an outlet to have fun or blow off some free time and play. The moment you became too concerned about making money is the moment you should have stopped playing.
My record so far was a 900M ring I bought and used for myself, only to later sell it for 5b gold. Same with a 9/6 Mempo I got for 2b and ended up selling for 5b. Witching Hour for 1.5b later sold for $250 in RMAH. Ice Climbers I got for 3b off of another player and later sold for $250 in RMAH.
That's flipping. And it's a dying art. Flips happen player-to-player now with advertising via forums and trade channels, not so much with the AH because true quality items are hard to find there.
...Really, don't treat the game like a job. It's not worth it. I'm telling you from experience, you'll only face frustration and a boatload of time wasted.
This, people don't even realize the REAL expensive items are not even touching the auction house anymore. The real auctions are occurring on d2jsp and other 3rd party forums (perhaps) due to GAH 2b cap for auctions. The funny thing is people insta bid the max or buy out times at the 2b cap and then flip on these sites for more. This isn't always the case but its becoming the norm.
Furthermore, there seems to be a HUGE influx in botting as of late as tons and tons of sellers are flooding that particular forum with unids in stupid large quantities. I'm talking like 120+echoing furys 70+mempos etc etc and on a daily basis (sometimes 2-3 times a day).
This game is turning into what d2 was, its economy is suppressed so much in certain aspects that another niche market takes place outside of the game.
so i finally get a 1b+ item last night, 4cc 199 str 9% ias mempo, and i was so happy cause it felt like i hit the jack pot! then i checked rmah to see how much irl $ my gold was worth and reality set in.... 2b gold went from being worth $500 to $75 over night? are you kidding me? so now after 1600 hours played and finally getting my 1b+ item it doesnt feel rewarding at all.... im actually enraged! looks like i wont be putting in another 250+ hours and ill just be casually playing this every now and then cause really to me there is no point in fighting the same monsters over the same acts in the same exact areas over and over and over its pretty boring and not rewarding at all anymore. damn i feel bad for these guys that put in hundreds and thousands of dollars into rmah/gear just to see it worth nothing over night. pretty fucked up if you ask me!
the whole reason why i even put in all this time into this game was because there was money involved. the only game ive played besides this that ive put in 100+ hours into was quake 3 arena because that game was actually fun and there were real pros playing it. but this game hah i wont put in no more then another 100 hours because i see no point in doing anymore then that anymore.
sigh...

And yes you are 'poisoning' these forums.
