Of which removes any sentimental value the item held. Age and rarity of an item are everything when it comes to these things and because the BMAH it's value is not only reduced, but the reason it was valuable has been changed.
Then if you don't care about sentimental value why on earth are debating it? As I mentioned Age and rarity have a lot to do with the value of an item.
No it the practically the opposite. It's a bunch of people who feel entitled something somebody else has to the point where the value of something only a select people have is diminished. You are not entitled to everything just because somebody else has it, it's a crying shame that Blizzard have created this attitude.
Being proud to have an item that only a few people have because of the fact it was until now unobtainable and was old. Those are two fundamentals to collectors value. Nobody is saying their better, their simply saying they've been in the game for longer.
