The Auction Houses were convenient — too convenient, one might say. Without them, the economy will slow down considerably. With a less sophisticated economic system, far fewer transactions will occur on a daily basis, the market will take much longer to become saturated, and overall, people will mostly be getting items from loot drops rather than from trading. And isn’t that the way it should be?

One issue, however, is that the implementation of Loot 2.0 and subsequent elimination of the Auction House will make Diablo 3 into a completely different game. While the consensus is that it will be a better game, the fact remains that it will be different from the game millions of people have already paid for. Is it fair for Blizzard to alter a product someone has already paid for so drastically, without giving that customer the option to keep it as it was? Because there is no offline mode, players have no choice but to download the patches that will forever alter their play experience.

Blizzard tries its best to make diablo 3 a better game by losing few gamers. I realize that I will miss the Auction Houses since some gamers played Auction House Tycoon than D3, but I care more about the game itself. A better game experience will surely attract more players.

Too early to tell.

If we get stuck at RoS like Barbs stuck at Inferno in the early stage of the game, the gaming experience will be suck-balls.

Just to refresh your memory.

another AH hater topic?

I wonder how many hours these AH haters spent on D3 game?
Or they spent most of the time hating D3?

Agreed. Let it happen. And... + Offline Mode

in before deletion

Dunno, but i love AH better then RMAH...

If they do want to remove it, how are the chances players will get decent enough drops/crafts to challenge high MP Inferno?

Most players only get trash drops so far, without AH, some wont be able to complete MP3 inferno with current drop quality situation.

Too easy to get legendary quality drops also will kill the game, later, most will rant this game is too easy.

it will be a b*tch to balance. they did say drop rates are better. how it will go.... when loot 2.0 comes out only we'll know. it gonna b out with the expansion right?

A'ahh...those were the days...also i am forever thankful to the person that discover the synergy of WW Barbs...no matter how much hater out there hates it and whether in RoS they would kill WW or not (too early to tell)...

This is why they can't satisfies all the gamers out there.

MP/Uber bosses are made to make the game tougher and challenging.

Imagine there's no MP/Uber bosses. I guess D3 would have been abandoned much earlier.

Starcraft 2 got offline mode. It was pirated already.

Can play against other player meh?

AH and RMAH is the best system for me.
This make this game so real to me...

n.... $.$.... respect AH/RMAH, I will always miss u ><"

offline mode = foreveralone mode

My plan is to play MP0 in ROS xpac.

Indeed, the synergy of skills makes D3 outstanding.
The synergy of skills made those D2 wannabes, like Torchlight and Path of Exile, pale and old school.

Not only barb, all class of heroes have their own builds and synergy of various skills. It's fun to kill mobs with combination of keys/skills.
D3 development team is genius. Of course, thanks to Jay Wilson too.



Let's hope RoS will have the same kind of synergy (after all kind of nerfs).

SC2 : HoTs didn't exactly save SC2 overall too.

Let's just hope RoS did a better job.
