it kinda makes me want to play this game more because not only do you get a game, but if you play it enough to get really cool stuff, then it could potentially pay for itself
Here's the reality of it. People in China, where it's profitable or equivalent compared to other jobs, will play Diablo III full time with high level characters killing the monsters that drop the items that people want. If you find a valuable item and list it on the AH you will need to pay a fee with real money in order to list the item. The person in China with 20 of the same item can under cut you by 5 cents and the average buyer will buy it from the lowest easiest price, without considering yours. You'll then need to take your item down as under cutting happens a few times and if your smart you'll only be out the first fee before you give up and realize the system is retarded. Otherwise you'll repeat the process and the only one making true profit is Blizzard.
Alright, so you don't take part in the AH, you're then only limited to your close friends who don't take part in the system unless you want to feel weak by random people joining your game with the best loot they bought for relatively cheap, because they spent 20 bucks and bought awesome gear that they have no rights to actually owning.
Oh you want to build up an awesome character to PVP with later? Nope, out of luck, someone bought the better gear then you. What do you do then? You either buy something to feel even or throw the game in the garbage where it belongs. As long as this system remains fuck Diablo III.
