I actually read most of the comments in this topic, but I don't think I'll bother responding to anyone in particular. I did want to simply say that the first time I heard about the RMAH, my very first thought was "what a terrible idea". I never saw anything to change that opinion prior to the release of the game, and I still haven't. My second thought was it was likely bug abuse, scamming, and straight up farming would negatively impact the game. Unfortunately, it looks like those concerns have been realized and more.
When this game was announced I assumed I would be buying and playing it. As more and more information came out, my enthusiasm retreated. Eventually ending in a "maybe some day" approach. I suspect now that day will never come.
