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.
That would imply that Blizzard has your CC sitting around stupidly in some database for a hacker to have a field day with, that's not happening.
The real life cash conversion for the AH goes through a third party service(not announced yet). You buy a special currency that you can use on the cash AH. You aren't directly buying something from it with your CC.
Also, if a hacker has your CC, them buying D3 items will probably be the last thing on their mind.

I never meant to imply I make "lots of money" because I don't, in reality. I make enough to pay my bills, help my kids with college, and put some aside for when i'm old. And, of course, play video games.

Sounds like you worked your ass off and it paid off.. I was referring to other people who have come here and specifically found reasons (or fabricated them)to try to impress us with their earnings, which ,just like many things, is an inflated version of the truth. haha.

Thericia and Arcilite. Do you guys still play Rift? I miss the people over there. Can't log into my account though. Talk the guild into playing GW2 for me

Arc doesn't, he quit a long time ago, i still play off and on, working on my Mage to 50 (have cleric, warrior, and rogue)...
The guild kind of fell apart also, no idea how many corners they are spread too with free server xfers and the like.
However, I will not be playing GW2.

I will most likely give GW2 a try.

People who think they're going to make tons of RL loot are forgetting one important thing... Chinese farmers and other 'professional' outfits.
What's decent money per hour in China (or even parts of Eastern Europe), is way less than what a US kid can make flipping burgers. This is not going to be an isolated economy as far as I understand it -- so you'll be competing against essentially slave labor working (and selling) for next to nothing.
I'm sure in the first few weeks people will be able to make some money before the economy settles in, but I think folks are in for a rude awakening if, as a US (or western European) gamer, you expect to making ph4t lewt off of D3. I could be wrong, but I think people's expectations are way too high.

The way i see it, if i get $5.00 off of a sword i'm not going to use anyway, then that's $5.00 i don't currently have, right?
