Outside of the mindless Arena, how exactly are you at a disadvantage against someone when it comes to PvEing monsters to death? The guy who bought an item or two with cash can now kill stuff quicker, is this a bad thing for you? Wouldn't it just making farming certain things faster?
It will affect those situations as well if you are playing with someone who will be using the cash AH. An item may drop that you could use but instead of letting you have it they might pick it up to sell. Now you've got the cash AH affecting your PvE game.
Your example won't happen.
Every player gets their own loot, you don't see your "team mates" drops unless they trade them to you.
Korrigan,
I don't abuse people, nor do i praise cheating, i actually condone it. However, if Blizzard is giving you, me (us) the means to make real life money from a video game, then we aren't exactly cheating are we?

Oh really?! I was not aware that they changed the loot drop system from Diablo 2. In that case this may not be as big a deal as I thought it was, and is making it more likely that I will buy the game.

Yea Korrigan, I cheated so badly. I cheated willing customers out of tens of thousands of dollars, by providing them with items they were in search of.
I'm such a horrible person.

Consider me off the Diablo III potential customer list.
I'm leaning this way myself.
This and the announcement of no off-line mode means i am unlikely to check this game out.

I'm undecided yet but if I can't play the game on my laptop while riding in the car disconnected from the interwebs, it's a non-starter.

Pretty much stopped reading once I saw required online connection for single player, and selling virtual goods for real money.
Doesn't matter how awesome the game might be, those two sh*tty design choices (if true) will take the game right off my list.

I can only play a game like this for so long, so I will get it, play it for a while, then quit. Anyone who wants to spend money to be the best possible Diablo 3 player ever can be my guest.
However, I can understand why "hardcore" fans would be unhappy. Likewise, no mods is going to hurt some fans (although I imagine many will be happy about this as well).

Always amusing to see when you are right, and when those who are trolls on this forum are also cheaters and exploiters who break the rules and contribute ruining the associated online games.
Or they are just bragging, which is the most realistic option.
If $35K over 5 years seems like "bragging" to you, I have to ask, just how much of a loser are you in your chosen profession IRL?

As someone who still plays D2 on battle.net, i have yet, to this day, after 11? years, ever, traded any gear to anyone for any gear or anything of the like.
I've cleaned off mules and given a lot of stuff away, but never traded for it, it isn't in the spirit of the game which is "mass slaughter -> collect loots"
that is all there is to do, kill bazillions of creatures, then pick up the shinies at the end.
The AH, is a laughable attempt to make more money, when a 'bulk' of the 'long term D3 players' are going to be more like me, where we want to find all our stuff ourself. 
With WoW's success more people than ever are going to try the Diablo franchise for the first time. Those people will be the ones who don't know the tradition of the series and will live off the AH, standing around in whatever Orgrimmar themed zone they're given.
These are the masses of which us farmers make rl $ from.
