I don't feel like getting into a debate of opinions and spending money with you but I'll just say If your cool with spending money to be good, then this will be just the game for you....  I've long got sick and tired of the "Pay-To-Win" philospophy.

For me (paying to buy items, being good) having done it in the past with many games including LS, I am done with it and will no longer do it.  It's not my game style anymore, I have more important things to spend money on.

I think that's why I will enjoy Skyrim so much.  Buy the game, maybe an offical expansion or two, and that's it.


Just play hardcore, they won't allow people to buy items with real money for hardcore gear in the auction house.

No problems for me.

Where does it say that?

If that is true... then that solves a lot of problems for me and I would play Hardcore.

It's mentioned in this video that on hardcore you cannot buy hardcore items with real life money.

I can't watch that right now since I am at work, but I will say that is good news. Restores a little bit of faith back into Blizzard and D3. I'm really liking that aspect and it makes me happy.

If it's true, I'll play Hardcore. Much more fair and fun IMO. And allows me to not care now about the spending money aspect.

Good deal :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure the only reason it is going to be like that is because if someones dies to server lag, they don't get bullshit about that.

Works for me.

The reason I don't or never played LS HC is because the $$ issue. No way could I risk losing the $$ investment I put into LS by dieing over a retarded lag spike. It wasn't an option.

But on D3, I can dig getting together with a large group of players, exploring and killing, keeping each other alive. Using only gear we find or buy with in-game gold. And if you die, you start over. All without spending money to play the game, or losing money you spent by dieing. Completely leave the RL money aspect out of the game. That is perfect.
My only concern would be how would it stop the stores in HC? Third party stores selling items for $$?

The only way to stop it would to not allow players to share/switch/trade items in game. And I highly doubt they would do that.

But for the most part, gold is going to be everything it seems.

Hope they figure that out. Because if they do, like I said... I'll be all over that.

Thanks for the info Lance. I'm not made anymore.

I hope I can play HC right when the game comes out.

I'm going balls deep from the get go.
