Will you switch to the RMAH?

[Mugsy]

Given the value of some items on the RMAH, I thought it would be interesting to see where everyone's thoughts/attitudes are towards Blizzard's potential new cash cow.

No doubt those of us who don't want to use the RMAH are concerned that good gear may dwindle significantly on the Gold AH.

I'll use both.

Really good items I can't use will go on the RMAH.

No candeh option?

[jonlee]

no, it should be an option to use the real money auction house and they should make a separate server and economy for it.

I don't want to use the RMAH but it will affect the normal auction house. This isn't a computer game anymore, it's purely about making money. Farming items then selling them for real $$$

[Yurtles]

I'd rather stop playing than start paying (or even get payed). I won't ever become involved in games that require micro transactions and this isn't much different. Just don't like the idea.

Ima sell some digital stuff and make some real world cash.
I wont buy anything off the RMAH though. Ill just take advantage of those well off upper middle class American kids.

[Auld]

For $250, it wont be kids.

welcome to diablo.

I'm going to try and aim to earn some money in there so I can buy the expansion based on just playing the game.

That aside, it is optional, as is spending huge amounts of gold on loot that is barely better then what is on offer for 5000 gold.

Are they actually selling at that price though? You see okish items on the normal AH for 10 million gold, doesnt mean they actually sell.

I might put a crapload of decent items on there for a $1 min bid just to see what happens

[jonlee]

yea, someone on the whirlpool forums sold it

he's on $350 at the moment

A lot of people are selling their gear and quitting lol

[Sathias]

No kidding, utter insanity.

Just wanted to post my 2 cents here regarding the RMAH at the moment.

Given that gold can be bought on the open market for US$7-8/m (I personally am very against the buying of gold/items outside of the RMAH), what a lot of people are doing is buying underpriced items from the RMAH and then selling it for gold in the normal AH, and then sell the gold they made from the item for a profit in the open market.

So if you ever intend on using the RMAH, just divide all the prices by 10 and multiply them by a million to get an estimate on how much gold each item would cost. For example, a $5 dollar item should in theory go for about 500k (approximately, should be closer to 600k).
