I,m not buying it because of the RMT.   You success in a game should never be based on how much real life money you can spend.

hate the idea of rmt. Only diablo i played was the first one and not getting the 3rd cause i can't support the always online idea. Played the 1st one as a singleplayer rpg and enjoyed it and would like to play the 3rd the same way instead of having this anti piracy forced down my throat.

Not  buying it for the simple reason of having to be online to even play the game. Wish I wouldnt have bought SC2

alot of people say that  but with as long as you dont still use   dial up  and who these days  would even think of it  more then likely  your online all the time anyway

To get finalized approval, Blizzard has opted to remove the RMT auction house for the Korean version of Diablo III.

Yep it's time to learn Korean.

Can we get a non-RMT version in English, too?

my wife's korean, so i think that's what i'll be doing!

come on blizz  why ruin a game before you even release it  Please remove RMT from the english version    or make plenty of korean servers  thats all we ask

This whole bots thing is a null argument, the requirement to always being online when playing D3 will almost (I did say almost) rules out any kind of effective botting - the reason being the online requirement is not there for pure DRM reasons, D3's game content other than art/sound is not stored on the client it's streamed to the player from the D3 servers;

• 
  mobs spawns


• 
  Special/random events/Items


• 
  Loot drops


• 
  Dungeon layouts


• 
  Player saved/banks/items

i feel like im the only one in the world who wants this Real Money AH, This is the greatest idea ever, all i can think about is how im going to play this game with my friends and sell random items to stupid people with to much money and make bank

Gotta love all this pennyless players that somehow feel offended by the fact casual/working people will be able to progress faster instead of being stuck for months in the crappy tiers.

I will not be using the shop simply because i do not want to spend even more money in e-entertainement, but i am perfectly fine with that busy mom or working father getting items and stuff with their hard earned money.

And you know, if you do not like the idea, you can simply....not play it?

Oh well people called me crazy back then, when mentioning they will have to remove it to make it work in some countries. Korea is the first many will follow and its good.

Even if they remove it I'm just not interested in this game way too dumbed down and lacks some serious features.

I was saying the same thing. Nay-sayers were saying countries couldn't limit what's in a game other then it's rating.

Finally the nay-sayers got a knuckle sandwhich. :D

''RMT guarantees I won't buy it, remove it and I might buy it.''

THis, f*ck RMT, damn I was looking forward to this game(

if they don't remove the RMT I'm not buying the game...

I'm buying it.. Not looking to make a million bucks on RMAH, but I will be doing nightmare with friends and we will be posting the shit we don't need on there, now if the farmers sell cheap, I'll just sell cheaper, don't give a damn.

And if ms. And mr. worker, wanna buy my stuff, that's awesome, go for it, gonna be easier for you, and make me a little something to remember you by. :D

Not scared of the big bad RMT, when it's introduced in a way so we gamers can take part in it.

And as I said earlier, not looking to make any serious cash, but a few bucks here and there :P

GO GO D3

So what i get from this is that it is better to have a black market driven by hacking/duping and theft completley out of any ones controll then a legit source were Blizzard can monitor and support the user when something goes wrong? Because paying with real cash for tiems happen in the earlier Diablo games... No point in pretending like it did not. So it is not like this is a new invention.

But by all means, support the idea och black market trading and free for all scamming... It is a great motivation to protect... well i am not sure what you are trying to protect.

Why are people crying so much about this feature ...so what someone who has more money to spend than you will get better items faster?? OMG the end of the world... thats life people

just play normaly and equip yourself(way more fun)

after the start boom items will get so cheap it won't be worthwile spending your time farming

i would be surprised to find out that anyone older than 15 years would be bothered by this

I'm all for RMT in D3. It'll happen on other sites anyway whether or not it's implemented into the game, just like it did with Diablo 2. At least this way everyone knows its secure and you will definately get what you paid for without any concerns (I have never bought anything this way myself for an online game).

Actually the RMT auction house is the only reason I will buy it. If they opt out for the American version as well, I wont be playing this game. But i seriously doubt Blizzard will want to lose that revenue stream. They lose way too much money for items being sold on "black market websites", and for everyone that doesnt want to use RMT the game will not change for you in the slightest bit. Just keep on playing your way, and ignore that feature. Its a win/win for Blizzard, since those other websites would still exist regardless of any auction house feature they implement. This just keeps it in house, safer for the player, and discourages scams and farmers. Thanks Blizzard, keep up the good work.

really? Are you serious? Do you honestly think that having RMT will discourage farmers, bots and the like?

 

Lol indeed, it doesn't stop any of that behaviour it's a form of legislation so that Blizzard can get a cut of the spoils.

I am with the people who hate the idea of the RMT auction house and will not buy the game unless a version or server or something is released that is RMT free. As i will not participate in the P2Win activities brought about, encouraged and applauded by RMT auction housing, i stand absolutely zero chance of competeing on any level with the players who have unlimited disposable income to buy their min/max ultra build toons. Sure you can't in any way ever stop hax and sploits and spam and black market back alley illegal sites selling gold and items and accounts etc. However, the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude both frightens and angers me. They say change is inevitable. So it was only a matter of time before blizzard became but another name on the list of companies like squaresoft and bungie (can YOU name others?) that simply aren't what they once were in regards to equating their company with quality products that aren't all about milking franchises and viewing gamers as checking accounts.

I love the idea of RMT. It will be legal and controlled. You might be able to make a bit off buck with your hobby. How is that not cool?

YOU are exactly what i'm talking about when I refer to the attitude of "If you can't beat them, JOIN THEM!!!!!!!".

Let's stop and imagine for a second if Batman felt as you do: "i can put them away, Joker, Two-face, Scarecrow, I can put them away at Arkham, they will break out and I will stop them, beat them up, and put them back in. But since they will never truly stay there, because crime will never stop no matter my actions taken, i'm going to give up. Instead of fighting crime i will become a part of it, and i will do it BETTER, legally, legitimately, on such a scale that I and I alone will control all of Gotham City so that there is no room for the other villains and they will have to go else where like Metropolis (i.e. another MMO)."

Sure the evil and criminal acts will remain but now it's done by a source we once (and apparently still do) regard(ed) as a hero. But I axe you, is it still heroic? Feeding greed and corruption and making success a measure of wealth and not skill or patience or practice or any other virtue? We truly live in an entitled age of instant gratification.

And let us all ignore the slippery slope this presents. The future of gaming: intermittent rewards for brainwashing combined with micro-transactions for those who can afford and need a quick fix. Why even make the game portion of this? Why not just make D3 be a lobby where randomly while logged in you are given items for an avatar and the longer you "play" the greater the quality of the random items you are given become and you just buy and sell trademarket style the items you get (maybe south korea's idea of gambling isn't that far off) for max profits!!!!

Tell you what, though. If you can conquer each and every argument I put forward here, then I will totally and completely change my opinion about this game. I still won't buy it, but that's neither here nor there.
