I don't think I am going to play in the server involving the Real World Auction house.

I have played games in the past that involved Real Life money and it just didn't end well....

There are instances where I do see the positive side though, like if you put a lot of time into the game but wanted to reap some benefit you could sell your items for cash; but other than that I really don't prefer it personally.

I am not sure if selling items for cash in Non-Real World Auction house is allowed or not, but if you can do it, then you could make even more money that way as items would be harder to obtain (as you couldn't easily run to the market and buy them with like 20$) but anyways these are just my opinions and thoughts.

What do you guys think?

I honestly dont see what the big deal is. So some random guy joined your game and has way better gear then you... So what? You can still play like normal. He cannot take your drops and sell them. Plus come inferno all that gear he bought wont mean shit if he doesnt know how to play his character. I honestly dont even really seeing it being a big problem.

Also I dont think they make different servers for RMAH and normal AH, besides maybe hardcore.

I just don't want to deal with someone dropping money to counter hard earned items.

Like I will appreciate people who have awesome items and did not buy them over some kid who dropped 100$.

Just my opinion.

I think it's cool that the game will have a self-regulating market (at least within servers), so that players can determine what has value. Maybe blizzard are trying to subliminally teach us supply and demand... Though nova makes good points about the pay-to-win stuff. Any time you can circumvent earning something when other people can't, there gets to be a gap.

Would you be able to indicate players who may have purchased items via $ ?

[Novaura]

No you won't. They will just look like they have OP items for their level or something.

That's why they created servers without the Real World Auction House and those with it.

I am sure it has its advantages its just not my cup of tea. If I see someone with awesome items and gear in the Non-RWAH I will respect them. If I saw them in the RWAH I will be like meh, I could have the same if I spent a few bucks.

WOW is the same way though, downside is when people COMPLETELY corner a certain market in it (IE cloth or gems) because then you get buttfucked into paying a crapload more gold than what something is really worth all bc someone spent 100 bucks on like 100k gold.

oh and i forgot to say, if there is in-game trading, theres always going to people that pay realworld money for in game items or gold...the asians make sure thats true.

Maybe set some money aside to beat them to the punch. Takes money to make money (coming from an asian HAHA)

noooo i meant like websites that sell in game currency and items for real world money.

[Novaura]

Yeah I have heard about those.

Is it hard for them to catch you on those sites?

[ToastedWaffle]

To me it doesnt really make much of a difference if someone bought their items on the RWAH or not. People did it all the time in D2. Plus it doesnt really effect my gameplay at all. I just dont really see it as that big of an issue, but that is just my opinion.

[GhostlyPresence]

I dont mind the real world market if they wanna pay for there stuff its okay like toasted said you get your own drops so if the lazy people wanna buy there stuff to get so called ahead they wont make it far and if you have something that will sell for alot and you dont need it sell it make a profit on it, they spend money and your practically taking the lazy persons money so it works out they will still suck and you dont actually need to play with them
