There is just so many people playing it must be really hard to control. I wouldn't expect the auction house to enable real currency any time soon either. The amount of glitches going on with the ah just for gold pretty much spells out a quick fix to get the currency ah going. I agree with you man, they did the open beta stress test, it failed miserably. Yet despite this early warning, they could not fix the server problems, and on top of that the servers are not secure and people appear to be getting hacked left right and center. Really does look like they did not do there homework.... like you said. I can't have fun at this game when my friends who I want to play with keep getting hacked while seeing glitch after glitch. I want this game to be great - I have never been more excited for a game release.... hoping I dont have a big letdown.

cant let this thread die.

need an updated poll...

Why is that such a crazy notion? Do you know the people that actually run that site? Don't you think the big item selling sites are a little annoyed with Blizzard for having a system that eliminates them from the food chain? You do realize the AH basically cuts them out of the process, right? I think that's actually a very reasonable possibility, considering that I'm sure that more people are trying to cash in on the international market (you'd have to be thinking on a rather small scale to believe that only the asians were motivated to perform such heinous activities).

Was days before I went into a public game...

Couldn't even get on for a while too because of patch update.

Logged in everything was cleaned out. I didn't have a authenticator.
