Introducing the Remote Auction House

[bbr]

Ha, this is great fun.
Was only a matter of time.

There is only one reason why using rl money to buy in-game gold illegitimately benefits players.

- Because Blizzard created the system that allows it to happen


Illegitimate practices all operate under a system Blizzard created. Nothing else.

I don't get what you're arguing... Are you saying tax fraud and money laundering are fine since the government created the system that allows them to happen? There are rules in real life and in-game. Just because something can happen doesn't make it acceptable.

This product + Auctioneer == WOW Stock exchange.......well commodities exchange.

Next up, day traders.

200 transactions a day? Meh.

I agree that a limit is needed. I'm perfectly fine with it. However, it means I won't find much use for this. I list nearly a thousand glyphs a day. /shrug

Neat idea, tho. I can't wait to see what other interesting things they come up with.

I can't wait to see how many retards would actually pay for this. If you can't leave wow related stuff behind when going out than you have some serious issues(Like not being able to get friends or realize that there is a living world outside your basement etc..) my friend.

Next is the buying of gear

They're taking their getting to it. But yes, its coming. If people really believe this isn't "an unfair advantage" then they don't know how useful the AH is ( even with wow's current lack of effort in getting money )

Forgive me if someone between pages 29 & 33 mentioned what I am about to, but after reading 28 pages & no one mentioning it I thought I would throw it in there.

Blizzard already has a gold>>level shop, its called recruit a friend. pay an extra 14$ a month & you can level TWO chars 3 times as fast & "bestow" levels on other chars.

If that isn't an in-game advantage... I don't know what is.


P.S. when your done, you just acc Xfer them over to your main acc (for another "small" fee) & shut down acc #2.

I Laugh at you kids crying over $3.00 a month...

True - but you can't level above 60 with that right? We're only actually in trouble when you can pay Blizzard for an end-game (i.e. max level) advantage. Recruit a friend never worried me..

I totally agree, where does it end? Buy a pre made lvl 80 as for the ptr's

iHeal looks like a pretty awesome app...

This isn't a good rebuttal, because it's not something you're already paying for. The fee allows you to access it from any web-enabled device or iPhone. The $3 fee is for the convenience of using a service.

It would be like people ranting about the service fee from Paypal to use a credit card, because you're paying for something you already have (the ability to walk over to someone and hand them money). But no one does that because it's understood that it's a convenience fee.

hahahaha well played sir

[steale]

It just changes the perception we get out of the game.

The more I feel they are greedy, the less I think of them.

I can't really understand how you and others defend the opinion that having more sollicitation for optionnal products is better.

My disgust for the sky-breaking over-consuming society and my disappointment of Blizzard dictate my opinion, please do feel offended if you must.

At no point did I say that soliciting optional products is better. I said that the conceptwas a cool one, and if they want to charge for it, they're perfectly within their rights to do so. It's outside of the monthly subscription, so they're under no obligation to hand it out. If you don't like it or don't want it, don't buy it. My issue is with all the people screaming and crying saying that blizz sucks cuz selling gear is next, when that's an entirely unsubstantiated claim. I could just as easily say "Fuck Blizzard, they made a Titan killable so now Titans are gonna be the next playable race and they'll be OP and pwn arenas". Entirely unsubstantiated and illogical.

This thread required more popcorn than I had anticipated!
