It takes "only a few" (relatively speaking) to collapse the (RM)AH economy entirely. So people that won't be touching MP or the Auction Houses will collapse the game economy? /facepalm Quinn wrote on May 3, 2012, 17:13: This even happened on rare occassions in WoW AH's, where apathetic people dropped stuff you could sell for 30gold on the AH for 2gold. The economy is player driven. So if the masses choose to let bottom of the barrel prices stick, then they stick and that's the value as determined by the players. If something sold for $30 yesterday on the RMAH and someone is stupid enough to post say five of the same item at $2 each instead...the people gaming the AH will buy up those $2 items and repost at $30 each. They will only need to sell one to make their money back and still profit, the rest is pure profit. As for gaming the RMAH, it will be interesting to see how things play out. If it sucks, I don't feel any obligation to use it. However since it will be REAL money and not digital coin as in WoW, the business people won't be dropping $20,000 to corner a market for a day like is done in WoW. Frankly I'm not worried at all about it and don't expect it to effect my enjoyment of the game whether I use the AH or not. There are economists at Blizz that are far more intelligent than you or I that have put this together.
