Holy shit? $100 for a weapon? I think I am done for good...I was expecting the RMAh to get me back into the game to be able to deck out my guy for $10-$15 or so.
anything costing any amount of real money is overpriced
if i wanted to play a korean micro transaction MMO i would

A very sad day for PC gaming. Oh well, just like real life now I guess. Wealthy people are going to have super specced out characters that they effectively bought, and you're going to have grunts farming shit not for themselves but for real money.
Of course, Blizzard will control the odds of what gets dropped because they don't want to flood the market. So even in solo play you're fucked. Your entire game is based around peoples bank accounts.
It actually makes me sick to see gaming become like this. I hate Blizzard.
You'll be naive to think they wouldn't do that.
And even if they don't (yeah right), it's still a sad day to see this event. If you find something awesome, you're first thought is going to be to throw it up on the RMAH to see how many money you can line your pockets with. Which is just ridiculous.

Yes... I sold an item for $2! Cha-CHING!

You're certainly entitled to your opinion and I'm not trying to change it, but I don't understand this reasoning. This is ultimately a single-player or co-op game, there's nothing really competitive about it unless you like to stroke your e-peen. Somebody else spending $300 on an awesome set? I could not care less. Let them.
Now if I had to competitively face other players online that were purchasing their gear and dominating me? I wouldn't play.
* The game was intentionally made so hard that "casual" players (however we wanna define them) have not even a remote chance beyond Act I/INF. I know some who even have problems in Act I. The crap loots are intended. Again, it all points to a well thought out scheme by blizzard by driving people to spend real money on the AH if they're "serious" about the game eg. progressing through Act2+/INF. This is my opinion.
It's a "pay to win" game with the biggest "effort" by blizzard made how they can make money from it - and NOT in gameplay or joy for whoever plays it.

I'm glad you know everyone's experience in the game ever. Especially mine. Especially how I haven't spent a single gold in the AH. Especially all of those who found the gear to put on the AH in the first place, since apparently no one can find any good loot. Good thing Blizzard said that Inferno was supposed to be insanely difficult (they are even patching it to make it not as hard so more people can play it) and you actually have to work for it. Good thing all those people who already made it through Inferno or past Act 2 did so before the RMAH was even released. Sorry that Blizzard wants to make the PayPal RMAH transaction secure in a game where people are bitching that it isn't secure enough.
Glad you know all.
aren't they changing that with the new update? drops are different now for inferno
Good to know people spend hours to farm D3 so they can sell stuff in RMAH for $5.....in the mean time, I will make my 6 figure in my day job and play games with real story and real fun during my spare time.
