Since the game does not even have PvP at the moment. Can someone explain to me what is wrong with the RMAH?

I mean, it is not like someone spending real money to improve their character will have a negative impact on my experience? Right? Besides it is not like Real Money Transactions were a big part of Diablo 2.

The RMAH is a good thing, because,

• It results in less scams
• It funds blizzard, which in turn means more support
• It may very much increase competition
• You can make money, while playing a game you like

That's like saying legalizing drugs would be a great idea to stop the selling of drugs. Well yeah, it could reduce crime, support the economy and all that, but that's entirely irrelevant if I'm against people taking drugs in the first place. People seem to, in this case, fallaciously associate the aforementioned example with legalizing the 'crime' of buying virtual goods, with the end result benefiting everyone. It's fallacious because it tries to apply real-world dynamics to a virtual word.

I don't give a crap about the 'online-only' requirement. I play many games that are 'online-only'. The only way I could b1tch about this is if I were to go on about 'the principle of the matter', which I'm not doing. Otherwise it doesn't mean squat for a game that was primarily designed for online play in the first place, at least not to me.

I will not be getting the game (not without a significant discount, at least) because of the real money/pay 2 win auction house, and yes, it IS pay to win.

Does that make an MMO like that 'not pay 2 win'?

edit: I mean it's obvious that the best gear in the game will probably have a pretty low drop rate, and a dedicated player would have to go a long way to get it, while a total noob could just as easily buy the whole thing off the auction house. Probably some college student who thinks he's 'rich'.

The reason the game has to always be online is the same reason that there can't be any modding: The real money auction house. If you let people play the game offline and store their characters locally, then people could potentially cheat, hack or mod in any weapon they want. If people can do this, then Blizzard feels less emphasis will be put on auctions, and if less people participate in the real money auction house, then blizzard makes less money.

Those games are kind of dire.... not a very good pack.

[QUOTE="brofists"] DAMN RIGHT, those games looked better. Watch this and be informed my ignorant one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CBd6QX8npsbrofists

Even in that video it is obvious that Crysis 2 is better in many ways...lighting, character models, textures, physics, scale, detail.
