You're not forced to use the AH, and the game is certainly beatable without using it. My furthest character right now is a Demon Hunter in Act II Inferno, and I've gotten to that point without buying anything off the AH. I can now use my Demon Hunter to farm gear for my other characters (have a Barbarian the just started Inferno, and a few random characters still in Normal). I got lucky and found a decent 600 DPS bow in Act I Inferno that lets me do it; but that's the nature of RNG loot, sometimes you get lucky. Incidentally I have a few friends that are AH whores, constantly blowing all of their gold on new items, and yet only one of them has surpassed me in terms of progression. I look at it like this; the game up to Inferno is able to be completed with only what you find during regular play. I've done it, so have thousands of other people. Inferno is so ridiculously overtuned at the moment that for almost every class, except Barbarian and possibly Monks (if only due to the fact that they're melee), buying stuff off the AH isn't going to help you anyway. Barbarians on the other hand scale so well with gear, and are so gear dependent, that once you reach Inferno you are almost forced to use the AH, where the only other option is spending days farming the Dark Cellar in Act I or Act IV Hell.
