The Diablo III Website outlines some new hotfixes applied to Diablo III. These once again carry a warning that these note may contain spoilers for anyone who has not completed the action/RPG, but this is a generic warning that doesn't really apply in this case. Gold drops form ash post and vases have been nerfed, leading to complaints that this prevents players from being able to farm them as before for the gold required to buy the items from the auction house required to play the game at the hardest levels, which seems illustrative of some balance issues yet to be worked out. Also, the I am (we are) Diablo III thread on Reddit is live where game designers Wyatt Cheng, Andrew Chambers, and Jay Wilson all discuss the present and future of the game.

But why would they bother jumping through all those hoops for official RMAH access only to get 30% taken away? Why not stay on like they are doing, spamming general chat, and operating on the "black" market? They can undercut cheapest prices on RMAH and still make more than they would actually using RMAH. So far blizzard hasn't seemed to ban anyone, and blizzard basically admitted they aren't paying any attention to reports anyway.
They will be able to farm/bot items and sell them for money directly which is less time consuming and the value of gold will just continue dropping as money overflows from gold botting. If you really think that the farming companies won't be using the RMAH when the value of $ per million gold keeps dropping then I don't know what else to say, you're hopeless. They already ARE selling them for money directly is my point, people paypal them money and they get gold. And they aren't needing to have blizzard in the loop taking 30% off the top. Plus, since blizzard has said that the account address has to be in the USA to use the USA RMAH, they would have to cut in a 3rd party in the USA. That could be another 30% or more to deal with a third party, so a total of 60% loss to asian gold farmers to go "legit"
If blizzard gets up off their butts and starts banning and implementing anti-spam measures (did they learn nothing from D2?) yeah I could see a mass movement towards the RMAH. But right now, they are just coasting and selling and not having to cut blizzard or anyone else in for anything.
If you really think that many gold farmers won't use methods with the least cost and trouble, regardless of the selling price of gold, "then I don't know what else to say, you're hopeless." |
