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. 
The more I think about it, the more excited I am about selling stuff for RL money lol.
So, I finally got my "company" to re-evaluate my 'worth' which netted me a 46.5% raise, I just "went into business" for myself, doing in home/small business work at $65//hr.
now I'll make money during my hobby also?
life is good my friend, life is good

Thanks! It only took me 6 years for me to get them to figure out that if they say i'm worth X, but they pay me X - 30%, that it isn't right. Considering i'm the top rated member of my team, every year.
It was long over due, but oh so sweet now.

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?

You don't know me yet you try to impress me with the pocket change you "won" by cheating and breaking rules of multiplayer video games.

The only thing I care about with the money AH in Diablo III is that if I can sell items and make some cash (would be awesome to make enough to cover my game subscriptions) and that i don't have to spend my own money, then i'm all for it.
It's not like Diablo has a true "pvp" to it anyways.
the bigger problem is going to be that the best items come from the game mode that requires a team so no more diablo 2 farm stuff yourself.
i don't think i want a money ah is wow, and they say they aren't going to, but still.
and for people ripping on someone for saying he made 35k in 5 years or whatever.... please point me to your HOBBY that has made you more in that amount of time. (yes i understand he broke the rules, but in diablo iii it'll all be legit.)

I don't have a problem with it but if your account ever gets hacked then they could buy a bunch of junk at inflated prices on the AH and it would hit your credit card. Not a good thing considering the hacking track record these types of games have.

Can you provide a link, where someone from Blizzard stated, that you need a "team" to do certain aspects of the game?
I'm just curious, I have a built in team, as me, the wife, and at least one of my sons will be playing it.

I love these "I make this much money" threads on VN. They all give me a chuckle inside.

I enjoy them also.. everyone makes tons of money and has 3 months of vacation. Or they are retired at 30 playing video games all day..Uh..grats! Lol
I have a feeling you are amused for a different reason..prob because you make more. ( as we know you are a dentist with a stack of $$ for a pillow)
