Come on. Get real. No way.

If you couldn't tell this game was going to be shit when it was first announced I don't know what to say.

The 90's/early 2000 era of games are dead and gone. If there isn't instant gratification and easy ways to acquire shit, people won't like it.

I don't understand why everyone is so against real money auctions. It is not like you are being forced to use the system. It is Diablo 3 after all, just start your own private game and play it like before.

Don't worry Athene will get on it. His word is law.

i don't care about their auction cash houses, but I truly believe that to be connected to bnet all the time to play a SOLO game is retarded

Solo play in Diablo 2 allowed the game to be pirated to no end, same as with WC3/SC/etc. Are you really surprised that they want to protect their profits (online play = more $$ from ads and it also means you have to have a legitimate copy). Personally, I don't see the big deal assuming you are buying the game. How often are you not connected to the internet? I very rarely am. If you are truly concerned with playing solo then just password lock all of your games.

Big surprise here, game companies are out to make money. Don't demonize them for it.

neither of these sound that bad. Diablo was always best played with other people. I agree with the argument that RMT gonna go down anyway so Blizzard might as well try to regulate it and profit off it.
