Personally, I'm conflicted. lol

it will be for the better, helps the longevity of the game.

kill mobs will be finally rewarding.

besides ppl can still sell at 3rd party sites

OMGosh~ ToS is now 1200...

Yeap, buys lots of gem too. 
Still thinking whether to keep 500m gold in my stash or not. 

i dont do anything..

lantak la kot.. knowing blizzard, they are capable of pull all sort of last minute pranks..

who knows in RoS, mystic only required 1 new mats? not DE or ToS?

suka hati kau la blizz hahahaha

/bolayan

Buy gems from Alex. 

Didn't spend all on gems, just grabbed 15 pieces for Crusader™.
Grabbed some ToS.  Grabbed a cold HOTA SoJ.
Still want to grab a kick ass INT TWH with AR before the AH shuts down. 

i playing console right now, the so call loot 1.5 is too easy to progress, and it cause addiction because of the amazing drop rates.

hope pc version wont have such rates, else game really become too easy, somemore RoS will have mystic to upgrade gears.

but i do agree remove AH can create better gaming experience

You are not alone bro. Haven't seen a Mempo with CC, epic TWH.
the only best thing I've self found is the mace on my wizard(1K+dmg, crit damage >50%, LS, and OS).

similar to you bro...only difference is...not only no good loot drop, i dont even have any luck in crafting...and until today the only craft gear i'm wearing today is the amulet...lain barang tak ada luck lansung...

Wow I haven't play D3 for almost 2 months, and now they are planning to close AH, I'm looking forward to playing again!

sometimes i'm asking myself is it necessary to grab all the gems, tos and brimstone in the AH now...

because by the time ROS hits D3, there will have tons of new players coming to the game, how they gonna get the high-end gems?
(Helm 1, Weapon 2, Chest 3, Pants 2, Shoe 1, Ring 2, Amulet 1) more than 10 RS/Marquise is needed....

by self looting? by AH? the only possibilities I have in mind is either

- NPC selling various type of gem with fixed/higher price. (Can be ready crafted Radiant Star)
- mobs dropping high level gem instead of flawless square for now.

 

it's fine when 10% dont agree with removing AH and now the joke is left 10% who play the game.
in another way is 90% agree with that and 90% player based
