The RMAH is the worst feature in Diablo III, and it gives me a really bad feeling about the games. I really feel that this is a sign of Blizzard becoming to greedy, and caring more about about making money then putting out a great product. I will be playing D3 but I have use for either of the AHs. The great thing about D3 was going back through the game hoping for that one drop. and how the drop are completely random. These will take that away from the game. The RMAH and the gold Ah, along with the okay at best skill system could hurt Diablo III more then anything else and remove a lot of the replay value out the game. I was in the beta for 2 months and even with the AH came up for testing I had no intrust in it.
I remember play I think it was EQ where buying toons, items, account, or gold was considered cheating by not only some players but also the companies like Sony, Blizzard and other companies. Why now when they find away to make money on it is this okay? I really feel that the morals and ethics of companies who do this are doubtful, and this move by Blizzard still gives me a bad vibe. Greed isn’t good and is a sin( odd me saying that since I’m not religious), and one major problem with everything right now is that greed is so out of control.

So with the choice between using the regular AH and RMAH I think most users will come to this realization: This is a high demand item, it is being sold for $15 USD, I am going to sell it on the RMAH. The other realization that people will come to is: I have $30 USD in my Diablo 3 account, maybe I will buy that item that is on RMAH for $20 instead of farming 1 million gold and buy it on the regular AH.

As in anything monetized.. there will be winners and losers. Do your research on the items in D3 and you probably won’t end up the loser. If you find yourself impatiently buying items to “have it now” you can expect to come out on the losing side.
