Introducing the Remote Auction House

[crsh1976]

Well, good for them, I guess the nutcases who play the AH more than the actual game will get off on this and Blizzard will need larger pockets for the extra cash.

While this "service" isn't a big deal to me, I don't like the way things are heading.

[Vook]

looks like a good way to get hacked.

Yeah, you better watch out for those Blizzard Entertainment guys, they'll hax J00!!

Anyways. My realm isn't included in beta test. FFFFFFUUUUU-

Not long before they "update the armory" and that app starts charging money.

[Hezron]

For some reason. I just don't like the feel of this. =/

I agree with this, normally I don't pay attention / care about the paid services Blizzard / Activi$ion release, but it's getting a bit too.. crazy now.

I understand they're companies and they need money but when will it stop? Will it stop? Sadly, I can see things getting into the 'buy levels for X$' at some point, I'm not saying they will get to that stage but with Blizz and Activi$ion you can never say never. :/

The app itself is free. You can browse the auction house for free. However, buying/selling things on it requires the huge, enormous, overpriced $3 per month.

How does selling tools that can be used to more efficiently earn gold in game not translate to the selling of in-game advantages for money?

^This.

Read the above quote, QQer.

Nickle and diming everyone sure this app's 3 bucks and the next 10 will only be 3 bucks not to mention we've been paying them subs for 5 months now with no new content being added.

Where is this game going to... :S

[Hamonzan]

Blizzard is doing her job really good...As she tries to have more ppl thinking of WoW and keeping them busy with it 24/7..
Then the cash will come ofc...I saw some posts like : "I really have to get an iphone" or similar with that...
ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS???THIS IS ONLY A GAME!!! WAKE UP!!!

[AuthurDent]

Let's hope this it is April 1 in Asia.

If not expect the NEXT great thing...

"Goldspamming? there's an app for that!"

I thought April was last month.

Guess they need to bleed everyone of every penny they can since games like ToR and the new Final Fantasy MMO are coming next year and both have features and gameplay that makes WoW seem bland.I loved WoW but Blizzards become lazy greedy and arrogant.

I lol'd. Hard.

Nobody's forcing you to buy this, so why are you complaining? :P

Also: "5 months with no new content" So you're basically QQing "ZOMFG HURRY UP BLIZZARD I R IMPATIENT". Be patient.

It's going to suffer until the end of the internet, or it's going to become an MMO for kids, which it's scarily close too now.

Is it nice keeping blizzards lap warm?

[Ninfetaz]

No Iphone here Blizzard.
Can I haz IPhone Pleaze?

[Envojus]

Activision is to blame...He is just like The Galactus of video games...

[AuthurDent]

There is NO doubt in my mind that "buying" characters at level 60 or 70 or hell why stop there.. 80 will be coming. The Deathknight was the first step at how people responded to starting at 55... and resulted in a LOT of players spending more time leveing, gearing and playing the DK... heck MANY leveld one the short distance to 80 JUST as a farming/professions toon.

Now imagine if Blizz sold a level 70 for the LOW LOW price of $25.

As WoW declines (and yes it IS in decline) Blizzad seaches for ways to continue to generate revenue. When they feel it has declined enough... they WILL sell high level toons. Guaranteed.

Charging for vanity mounts, pets etc didn't bother me at all given that they are special items, but this just doesn't sit well with me at all. I would never use this and I don't know anyone that will, but the idea of them charging even a measly $2.99 for something like this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really believe we are only a short time away from Blizzard actually selling gold, gear, and power leveling types of services. I never thought it would go this way, but this just seems to be foretelling.

Aha, Aha... So what? I rather see the emblem/heroic/casual as something bigger and more idiotic.

Source? Last I checked, 9+ million subscribers isn't "in decline".

[Fix1o0]

A good solution to the typical WoW fanboy that goes out with so-called friends against his will, and while a nice looking girl wants to have a chat he tells her off because he needs to check the auction house.

[Kalx]

could be useful, but I rather save $3/month
