Ok guys let get this straight.

If you QQ about paying 10$-15$ a month to pay to play for a game, I think your living in like 1995 first of all.

The reason im saying this is, I dont want Diablo 3 to end up like Diablo 2. I.E, scammmers,bots,cheat,hacks,dupes,spam,non english speakin people who are geting paid 1$ a week in a sweatshop because we want that bad ass item.

Ill go into detail. When a company stops selling there game in mass amounts, they no longer are making decent $$ to support that game, whatever it may be. So charging a small amount every month gives them ability to support it, and solve the problems such as cheaters, viruses, hacks, gold farmers wtf ever...... AND ADD NEW CONTENT, AND FIX THE OLD OFC

I personally also wouldnt want the guild wars approach either,...... coming out with an expansion every time someone cries so they can support there non paying game.

If Diablo 3 is not pay to play, I give it a few months before it turns into the shit hole that d2 did.

Opinions? Flames? Donations ?

Words of the wise...

I actually agree 100%. Any game that is pay to play is much more successful than a game that has a one time fee.

ugay

I don't think you realize the money mountain blizzard is already sitting on, they don't NEED to charge monthly to support d2. Hell, just a $25 MOUNT in wow made more than quite a few AAA games ffs.

vouch, QQ part mostly

this, they make enough on wow to keep D3 running like it is p2p

I would be happy if there were no ad spam bots. But pay to play wouldnt necessarily make it scammer/company free. FFXI and WoW both have MAJOR amounts of what ffxi players call "gilsellers" . Aka, bots or players that work for a company to gather currency. I see how pay to play may limit that but i dont see how it would stop it. And if the game is in demand, the company gathering currency will be too thus giving them means of paying to play while still making money

i still rest my case.
