To actually believe you personally are going to make decent income on this game from the start is laughable, The economy will be majorly diluted as soon as the same types of individuals who farm gold on World of Warcraft come over and start grinding out rare items that we be undercut and forced to be price matched by the rest of the community, To think this is going to eliminate third party sites is foolish, it's just removing the website so you're in direct contact with the seller (So what was the point of this website?)...And the only and I mean only combatant against something like this would be to have random affix/suffixed items that drop at random be the best items in the game so any average Joe Shmoe can get lucky as shit but it won't fix the problem. Cool downs? No stats? Infinite Respecs? Blizzard is the biggest fucking sell out company I've ever seen, I mean for fucks sake they had to convince all the WoW players to pre-order that horrible expansion by sweetening the deal with a free copy of Diablo III and guess what Diablo III won't disappoint because it's the god damn love child of Diablo II and World of Warcraft...Diablo II was great because it was unforgiving, independent, and had the best individualist online game play of any game I've ever played. Builds, stats, and gear from player to player varied so much. I feel bad for the true hard core Diablo II players, the ones that really played it to the end because I am a true fan, I love the game, it's one of my favorite games of all time and Blizzard went and took a big ole' shit on it.
And please if you're going to tell me I just don't like it because it's not Diablo II save you're breath, the core of this game changed, I don't care about aesthetics, story, items, upgrade changes but I believe games should stay true to the original and advance upon that and this game does not .
