Y'all totally missed the most important thing to remember about the RMAH's effect on PVP: matchmaking. If a player buys gear from the auction house, hes going to be matched with similarly geared players, there will little to no instances of "gear face rolling" as long as matchmaking is taking place.
In terms of y'all talking about competitive PVP.
It has little to do with finance. Jay has stated numerous times that they don't want the game to be expected as an e-sports game, because extreme balancing would damage the fun value of the product. We are talking about a game which has billions of builds, how could you possibly mitigate all of the functions into a tight rope balancing program? This game will not be balanced as an e-sport, so why support it being competitive?
