Yes, but those people are stupid. Calling it weight dates back to pen&paper RPGs.

I still think you are missing the main point. they wouldn't be able to buy items just by killing a couple of monsters. You would have to do equal or more work to obtain the amount of gold needed to trade for any item. And ultimately, the person that finds the items is the person that decides what they are worth trading for. If anything, if you were still doing you magic find runs, you would be one of the people in control of the economy.

especially if they sell ad space on bnet.

I'm guess that they more or less have it figured out though. I don't care a ton either way.

I always felt like the assassins and barbs should have used stamina for more of their skills than mana.

Thats easy to control though. As long as the rare items are, in fact, rare, their value will remain the same. Everything is relative, sure, but just because gold becomes more valuable doesn't mean that everything else becomes less valuable.
The best way to increase the value of gold, is to increase demand, and decrease supply. Gold is added to supply when its dropped by an enemy, or given from selling to an NPC. It increase demand, you have to make something worth buying from NPC's. I would say services, such as respec or adding sockets to items. And by doing that, you also take money out of circulation, reducing supply.
To sum it up, by offering services from NPC's, you greatly increase the value of gold, while maintaining an equal value of items.

I like it as a way to tweak the basics of your character, and to tie into the economy. But I don't like it as a way to completely rebuild your character.
That is, of course, except for PvP. Where unlimited respect seems like it would be a must, at least for competitive play.

Ok, let me first say that I'm mostly neutral about it(I like the idea respec to be used to balance the economy). I just want you to understand this perspective.
If there is unlimited respec, there is no negative effect to placing a skill point. That changes the economic value of a skill point. It makes each skill point more valuable, and each skill less valuable. It also changes the importance of placing a skill point. If you know its permanent, Then there is a certain importance to every, single, point you place(especially the first time through the game).
I have a small economics background(it was going to be my minor before I dropped out to work on music). So my perspective on this(and everything), relates to that.
I'm not saying respecing is bad, I'm just saying it ultimate has a huge effect on gameplay.

Yes, it was based on gear more than skills.
I'm talking about the balance between the individual skills inside each class. It's more or less an economic concept.

Yes. And I would love to see more balance in the skills than in D2. I don't want to see any useless skills.

I never played PvP.
And it does have a gigantic effect on the balance of the gameplay. How could you say it doesn't? I'm not saying its a good change or bad change, but unlimited respec completely redefines the balance of the skills. If nothing is permanent, then no skill point placed has a negative effect. How is that not a MAJOR CHANGE IN BALANCE?

+1.
Thats why I think venders should offer services(such as socketing) for gold, not items. You have to keep those rare items, rare.
This way, Players can not Buy items for NPC's, but could buy them from other players(with gold).
An Example:
Sue has some armor that she needs socketed, but doesn't have the money to pay for it. However, she has some item that she can trade to John for the gold to socket the item.
I love economics.

Because it has a gigantic effect on the balance of the game.

Thats a different game, and a terrible execution. They made the game Unplayble with the darkness, and then added gloss maps to make everything shiny as fuck. and AFTER that, the gameplay was horrible. You had to spend most of your time trying to keep your team for running out and getting killed, because they were all worthless when you weren't controlling.
Also, its first person as appose to isometric. The isometric view point gives you 360 degrees of view relative to your character. Now granted, if you make it as dark as it is in Jericho, it won't matter. But That's not mean there isn't a happy medium.
