I guess if there really is no rollback, I've made like 15b from buying up gems to resell. Figured I'd make like 150mil not 15b though. For sure I am going to sell that on the RMAH though. Even at $25 per 1b, I'll get enough to be happy.
The thing is, nobody make hundreds of billions without duping and they were all banned. Gems capped a 200m each for Rubies and 160m each for Emeralds. At best, you made 1.7 billion gold PER 100 gems. To make hundreds of billions without duping you'd have to sell around 560 gems to make 100 billion IF you sold at the absolute peak.
Emeralds were a lot higher than 160. I sold 2 at 300m at one point.
The highest I saw emerals were 160m and I've heard a lot of people report that was the peak. I am not saying you didn't sell them for that much, but I doubt they lasted for that long. Even with that, you still aren't making hundreds of billions without a ton of gems (meaning you had billions before). The people with trillions were dupers.
Yup. No way anyone made trillions in a legitimate fashion. You won't be able to convince me otherwise.
They can easily catch everyone that duped. And with the ease to created billions of gold, it is harder to spend it. Even if they just bought thousands of gems and temporarily inflated the gem market, it removed thousands of gems from the market. Everyone who duped and didn't report the error after a few times, will be banned and all that gold removed from the economy.
The problem with doing a rollback is a lot of people are claiming to have used RMAH to buy gems to sell on the gold AH. That is a lot of refund processing they probably aren't willing to go through. So, if you paid the $1 or so per gem for 125m, you got a deal on gold.
So what about the people that gave gold to their alternate accounts or to friends before they disabled the in-game gold trade? What about the people that spent 2Bill at a time (with duped gold) on items in the AH that were horrible/overpriced just for the amusement?
Lol, this game is such a trainwreck... Just when you thought it couldnt get any worse
Glad I jumped ship before 1.05, if you want a real action rpg, Path of Exile is so much better
I just dont know wtf Blizzard is doing anymore, they go for months without a word and then release completely underwhelming patches that dont fix the core problems of the game at all
Its so sad... Most of us were so excited for D3 thinking we would play it for another decade, and it turned into this :thumbsdown:
As I cruise on by with my cool 3mil
The problem I see is the spreading the wealth that was going on. The guy I was watching (who claimed he got his trillons without using the exploit, I don't know I didn't see him get the gold) was buying anything off of the ah that was ridiculously priced (20 billion or higher) and I saw him doing that for a while. He was even losing some of the auctions, so he wasn't the only one doing this. So anyone that had high priced items on the AH made some serious gold yesterday, not just rich people, but people who decided to inflate the prices on their auctions while the duping was happening.
Also apparently one of the first admitted dupers was just giving away billions to people (again I'm sure he wasn't the only one doing this). So I hope Blizz has a way to detect that, because if all of this "charity" gold (and gold people unloaded because they thought it would save their account from being banned) stays in-game, eventually as it's spent it will slowly distribute itself and raise prices overall.
So I'm sure there are trillions that spread quick, enough to make a decent inflation IMO. I'm also sure there are a lot of rich people now, because even I made more money than I ever expected in this game. I normally have a hard time collecting 1 mill, and because of yesterday's gem prices I'm finally well into the millions. I feel bad for anyone that didn't get in on it, because some of these prices won't be going down again for a while.
I personally think they made a mistake by not rolling it back. Everyone in the game is already getting richer by the day, and yesterday just increased that by a decent percentage (well anyone that was working the AH yesterday that is).
Yup, apparently there were tons of people getting rid of crappy echoing fury's for billions, and they were selling almost instantly. This is what people on bnet forums are stating though, I didn't see it personally, but I'm not surprised. People will take advantage of this kind of thing in a hurry, because they know it won't last.I have a bunch of junk legendaries. I should have put them all up for 20 billion each on the AH.
thats about what i have too...and frankly, due to my extreme lack of cash, this whole ordeal makes me not wanna play the game anymore.
