Blizzard is always happy to talk about new ways of making money, you know, working on porting diablo 3 to consoles, macs, the next expansion pack, etc. But no word yet on PVP. Hmmm...
And the console programmers have what to do with PvP?
Blizzard have been looking into porting Diablo months/years before release.
Well maybe Blizzard could take those programmers off the console project for now and have them help out with the PVP that is already 8 months late.
If you are going to run a bot, you shouldn't be asking questions about how to do it on a fan site. I for one am not going to help another person ruin this game even further. Get help from where you download the bot. yah, good chance they will keylog you and take your account..... dems the risks though.
That is how i found this place. Needed to sell off a pretty sweet quiver i found. Blizzard banned my Diablo, starcraft and WoW accounts from their forums. Discussions seem a lot more reasonable here. Less extreme arguments (fanboys vs haters).
So, why are you here? Better community? Banned? Just sick of the Die in a Fire comments for either criticizing or praising D3 in the slightest? I'm curious.
Making items bind to account would probably only increase the prices, as items could not be recycled. Demand would be the same, supply would be lower, thus prices must be higher.
Your idea of flippers driving prices is flawed as it is actually the buyer who sets a price.
If that was the only factor, you would be onto something concrete. People pay $200 for an item because they expect to be able to resell it for close to $200 when they are done with it. Take the resell aspect away and they are going to have a different look at cost. You just got to focused on thinking about how the supply would go down, to relize how much more the demand would drop. Even more important than supply and demand for this is accept value. These are virtual items, they only hold the value the community accepts.
Blizzard should have seen this coming and done something LIKE make all items bought on GAH or RMAH bound to the buyers account. That's why i say Blizzard is most to blame, for allowing the OP to do what he did.
Without the reselling value why bother with buying stepping-stone gear? You can't resell it and it's not the piece you desire at the end. To make that work they'd need to change crafting, providing worthy reagents out of those bought items. But how to determine that 12 dps axe bought for 1000 gold is less worth than that 12 dps axe bought for 500 million? There's a large tail behind that, a lot to think through. The actual system is more transparent, easy to understand and it won't take a higher education level to get the whole grasp of it.
If someone decides to sell 5 eggs way under it's regular price because he either need space or quick cash (seeing another item he want) - where's the big deal? He got his gold, the reseller made a nice profit and Blizzard earned 15% from the RMAH transaction. Is there really anyone to blame? The reseller must do his homework, know the market. It's not like he bought ALL 12 dps axes and relisted them for 500% of it's orginal market price.
You might can argue about people spending 250€ for an virtual item while there are starving people around the globe but we're all sitting in front of our computer in our warm, cozy homes and spent 50€ on a game as well. And that's something Blizzard definately can't fix.
They wouldn't have had to do anything different. The market would have adjusted so perfectly to bind on buy. Nothing aside from Good Game Godly Gear would be on the RMAH, and it would be extreme expensive. Everything else would be sold cheap on the GAH. You would have no flippers driving the prices up to insane sick amounts. The 75mil mempo with no crit would be 100k or something. You would get next to nothing for 99.9% of your drops, but you could mostly always find a small upgrade for next to nothing. The godly gear would be end game. You slightly get upgrades pretty much every time you play, very small. You hope to find that one gg item, or save save save for it. people who want to p2p would have to pay out their ass. Game would have thrived.
This is why D3 failed. Greed Greed Greed Greed Greed. Not like i am saying it is 100% the OPs fault. He was just one of the many jerks who ruined something that could have been good. More Blizzards fault for giving these failed buisness men a platform to take advantage of people who just want to play a game.
Sure, like there wouldn't be any market even without RMAH by Blizzard. It worked just perfectly in D2. Also, you are just insulting the OP without reason, you just lost respect from here (not that you care much, probably).
At least explain how are they "taking advantage of people, who just want to play a game".
Because in D2 people had to break the rules and go to a 3rd party to buy gear. It was not a part of the game and everyone who bought/sold knew that. With the RMAH, buying and selling is now part of the game. For the OP to have made 6k, others lost 6k. That's what people fail to understand when they line up to say "grats man".
Had the OP legitly farmed every piece of gear he sold, it would be a different story. he didn't though. He browsed the auction house constantly looking for idiots who were under valuing their gear, then he would buy it out and resell it for more. He is not like a traditional buisness man who buys a product in bulk, stores it, and retails it out for a profit. He is a preditor preying on the ignorance of sellers. Blizzard should have seen this coming and done something LIKE make all items bought on GAH or RMAH bound to the buyers account.

To me this is proof of a dead game. There are honestly less than 10 quivers better than this on US servers. Oh well.
