you want to pay 20,000 fg for the equivalent of a sigons armor in d3? then sure, stockpile FG.
The # of people who buy diablo 3 will be more than 100x the people who buy D3 who are active on d2jsp. As a result, only a tiny minority of the players will be able to use FG as a currency. The vast majority will use whatever currency blizzard creates for the game, like they did with world of warcraft's gold. And blizzard will create a currency and will intentionally stifle the d2jsp economy, because that is in their direct financial interests. They want people to be paying them money, not having profits leeched off to third parties, like people buying FG. Thats economics. All things put together, you'll experience hyperinflation that disrupts FG as a currency and quickly turns it into disney dollars / monopoly money.
You can enjoy d2jsp being a stable economy up until the D3 release, but once that comes around, all your stockpiling will be completely worthless.
and ladder slasher, lol
that offends me as a game designer
This lol you are going to overpay so much for something that is equal to a sig gauntlet lol
Not everyone uses D2jsp for getting items meaning you will have more people selling on the auction house so if you are not going to transfer your wealth to another game their is no reason for you to use a 3rd party system like D2jsp.
The only reason D2jsp became so popular was because of the horrid trading system on D2 that was no fixed by the developers. Democracy at its finest but with new technology (aka a trading system that is efficient in game) D2jsp will not be needed or used like it was in D2.
