so, a lot of you aren't going to play diablo 3, due to a micro-transaction, that is completely optional, and has 0 bearing on your enjoyment of the game?
So you are going to 'hate' on it, just because of this optional for cash auction house?
Do you also boycott football for showing tampon commercials during the game?
Imagine that, people are going to voice their dissent where it actually counts, with their wallets. Amazing concept, I know. Why does this bother you so much?

I think that some people are mad about the principle of microtransactions rather than how its going to affect their gaming in D3. You should "earn" your equip.. blah blah blah
I also think some people feel there is a threshold of money where a company is supposed to actually stop trying to make any more money.
They may even think that it is paving the way to F2P in WoW someday and they are afraid that it will further tarnish their beloved game..you know.. the one everyone is so done with.. yet still play

Hold up............hopefully I read this wrong. So you have to have an internet connection to play Diablo III single player? I understand to the register the serial numbers and create an online account if you want. But to play the regular single player?

I just look forward to reading all the stories about hacked accounts costing people real money, IRS issues, etc. I'm not playing it but I'll get some entertainment anyway.

Probably the worst thing about this "feature", however, is the fact it is behind the internet requirement to even start D3.
Yeah, you must have an active internet connection to play D3, even single player.
Already VERY tired of this trend. It needs to go.
Same. I will never buy a non MMO that requires me to be on the internet to play.

I understand why Blizzard is doing from a customer support standpoint. With an official channel for trading items they tell all others to take a hike when it comes to a) he said b) she said type crap.
As for my view on it, as long as we do not have to have CC information entered just to play the game then let people spend their money. If I am required to register a CC just because then they can go fornicate themselves

If it takes off then that feature will be pay only. There will be no for in gold AH which means you lose access to a feature. The idea of a game wide AH was awesome, making it have an optional real life cash feature means the in game gold version will have sloppy seconds if that.

Yes that's correct. The excuse used was that Blizzard didn't want there to be two sets of characters, single player offline and multiplayer b.net like there was in D2, that couldn't be used together.
However the truth is its used as a security device against piracy and as a part of Kotick's beloved social integration of games, of which the D3 AH is a part.

This is basically an admission that their only problem with RMT is that they weren't getting a piece of the action.

This is EVERY game company's only problem with RMT. I thought that obvious enough to not need stating.
