There will be thousands of players who are not at all interested in multiplayer. 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

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.

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.
