Now what do you do?  There's nothing left to look forward to.  Do you continue doing inferno runs to boost your self esteem?  Do you throw away a $60 game because you just bought "victory"?

You farm and sell your own stuff for profit?

Edit:  Better idea...you quit your job, move to Belise, get a laptop/wfi and make a living selling stuff on AH while playing on a beach sipping a margarita.

And as a side job you can work in a sweat shop sneaker factory.

How much would that cost you at this point?

Five bucks?

1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.

2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.

3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.

Lol, yes this would be possible when they would delete the internet from china. 

If you have some brain and want to earn money that way, you better play onlinepoker instead of diablo,

Of cause you need the best gear from RMAH when you play hardcore.

Even more when there is coming Hardcore PvP

 Haha yeah...that'll work.

Let's look at the economic forces at work here shall we?

Forces of supply:

1.  Legions of normal D3 players that think they can make money by selling goods ont he AH.

2.  Professional gold/item farmers who want to make money on the AH, have a significantly lower cost of living, and work like dogs.

3.  The fact that items NEVER decay, and are ALWAYS resellable once you buy them.

Forces of demand:

1.  Players that are too lazy to get their own gear or farm gold so they pay to win.

 

Now...what force do you think will win out here?  You know what?  I'm betting supply.  And this means prices for D3 items are going one way fast...down.

So if you buy gear for $60, it's likely to be worth much less in a few weeks.

Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

Actually thats how D2 worked, i remember very well running as a low level in duel games in D2 so i wouldn't be able to be killed o whatever it was, its kind of old now, like 10 years ago, anyway, i was with a friend back then waiting for the whole crap dropping on the floor then would run in, grab as much as possible, and change game :D I don't know if they ever changed this later.

 

hey i just edit to add now i recall one of the dualist actually give me a bunch of free gear once, he was like hey dude, take this, i was like "you are so kind sir", ha the good old days :p

You completely missed the point.

What is left to do in the game once you have all the best gear and beat inferno?  The exciting part about a game like D3 is the item drops.

Hopefully he wasn't serious.  You are correct though, there is no real money to be made (except by Blizzard).

You're going to buy stuff on the RMAH for a hardcore character?  Blizzard is going love you.

You must never have been to belize, its horrible now. Crime rate is insane, people will literally tear your house apart to sell the peices. Murder, rape, robbery rates are all up over 400% this year alone.

 

Granted you can still get 25 cent long necks, and spiny lobster for $1 each, but is your life worth it?

Ya, I'm going to have to agree with you here. I recently used a hero editor on one of my D2 chars to finish a set that I couldn't get to drop. Once I had the whole set, I was like "well, now what?".

I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil

Shut up, stop complaining and bow to your capitalist overlords.

You will spend your money and you will be thankful for it.
