Am I allowed to whine about you posting here?

This isn't a topic about why you're sad to see it go. It would appear the majority of core Diablo fans are happy it will be gone and yes we understand why you others are not happy it's leaving.
For those of you that are excited though, why is that?
Perhaps this is a weak argument and reason, but I am excited to see it go because I've always held that the AH prohibited player interaction. Part of what brought so much joy to my diablo 2 days was trading for that new item I needed. Yes it was a barter system, and yes it took time. With the AH features, it was much easier to find the item you need and get back to playing. But from my personal experience, the endeavors spent in trading games was worth the time spent. True, there were people that would try and scam you. True, there were people who would low ball your offers or beg you for freebies. But every once in a while that one guy would come into your trade game. Not only did he have that item you needed, and not only was he willing to negotiate with you for a fair trade, but this guy started to treat you like a human on the other end of the screen. After chatting for a while and making a trade or two, he sticks around in the game and you chat some more. By the end of the night, you've added some dude 18 states away from where you live to your friends list and you end up playing with him for years.
On the other end of the spectrum, this barter system allowed you to find some new players that you helped out. There's nothing like bringing a player up in the game, giving them a bunch of stuff, only to watch them pay it forward to another new player later, or perhaps they pay it forward back to you with some gift that's worth a lot.
With the ah, I lost 90 percent of this interaction. I had no need to seek other players out for help, items, etc. People will argue that that is my own fault, which is true. However, I feel the loss of the AH will create a felt need that will actually cause people to seek other people out in the game. I believe it will help unite players and give people more of a reason to play with one another again.
And I could be wrong too. If Loot 2.0 is going to be what it claims itself to be, there might be even less of a need to trade. This game is a game about killing monsters, and getting loot. I understand that. There's nothing more rewarding than finding that drop you've been hunting for. But meeting a new player, trading for that item and adding them to your friends list because they are a pretty alright person- well that's pretty dang good too.

Anywhere from 30-100 mill.
I know there aren't too many items floating around like it on the ah. That kind of makes things difficult.

There aren't really any items similar to it in the ah. That generally means it's worth money. I just don't know how much.

Actually, no. I generally try to start conversation myself, but it never amounts to much.
