    Paying money for the gear is the equivalent of purchasing nice golf clubs, or high tech running/climbing/basketball shoes.
    Sorry but that is just total nonsense. You buy golf gear to play the game of golf, you play Diablo to get gear. It's completely the opposite.

    This is also the reason the game is a joke compared to Diablo II.
    Blizzard was so focused on getting the RMAH model working that they fucked up what could possibly have been the greatest game we have ever seen.

    Happy for the guy that made the cash though.

    Should also point out, the guys making serious money from the game are the ones that exploited insane bugs when the game launched (unfinished). The frozen armor wiz build and then the guys using mf on the resplendant chests are the ones with BIS gear and the ones that farmed the crap out of stuff before loot was nerfed ect.

    Also he has to pay quite a lot of tax on that cash.

    One last thought, The way D3 launched and the way bugs were dealt with and loot was nerfed makes Blizzard look like total fucking idiots. But they don't care, they made millions. Really sad when a giant like Blizzard who used to care about gaming and gamers turn into a bunch of ***** who only care about profit.

    Well by the looks of things it didn't quite make them as much money as it would appear since they said D3 did cannibalise wow subscribers, on top of the 1.2M that got D3 free with their wow annual sub.

    To make that kind of money I would guess he doesn't pick up anything, he just trades the AH. So to say he made money 'playing' D3 is probably misleading.

    Edit: On a serious note, the game is a money making machine, it has absolutely nothing to do with Diablo.
    The game is rushed, the story is okish, inferno is a joke, and the end game? What End game? Like I said the guys making a ton of money from the game are the ones that exploited bugs and farmed BIS gear untill the bugs were fixed and the loot was nerfed into the ground.

    I agree, I find nothing of interest even with +15% magic find - not even from purples (bosses) in hell act 2 and 3.
