You have terrible logic.... instead if you view the RMAH as just another resource it doesn't change the game at all. You can roll all that 10$ into playing the market or back into your toon. Diablo 3 is a game about economics more then it is an rpg at this point if you don't enjoy or understand that then you should probably look at playing a different game. |

Clicking that Auction House button is a choice you make. No one's forcing you to use it nor is it impossible to progress without it.

It's always been about farming gear and selling it for better stuff. The 'Oh shit, I should sell this!' mentality is what everyone has in Inferno - only it's normally for gold. |

But the main difference here is that it's real money.
There is always going to be a huge urge while playing d3 to cash out and get real money for things over using them. Much more than an in game currency or trading system. |

There's always been an urge to hoard gold rather than using items too, the only difference is now that extra gold is actually worth something.

You are mistaking your urges as everyone elses which is clearly not the case if SOMEONE is buying YOUR shit. You value real money more then you would ingame money or the item itself. Instead of thinking linearly you could progress and say, "I enjoy playing this game why don't I invest this 10$ into progressing so that I can continue playing as well as make 30$ in the future" as opposed to seeing the immediate value that the 10$ has. If you can think that deeply about the game it'll help you in real life situations as well..

You can always cash out in any popular online game, if you didn't realize this you just weren't paying attention to the money markets at the time. |

Gold exchange isn't working yet I don't believe but atm items are selling way more than they should be if they sold for gold and then traded that gold for money. |

For those of you who are making use of the RMAH, how are the prices holding up? How easily are things selling and for how much? Mainly talking about common drops from farming, not the very rare ones like 30% stormshield etc.
Any input would be appreciated. |

Not really. It's around $7 per million for items which is roughly what it is for gold atm. |

When you create an auction, you either set the money to go to paypal or bnet balance which are separated. If you want to buy with real money, you have to either send money to your bnet account or choose to direct your real money sales there. |

Gold is $5 a mil now, and some items RMAH pricing was far more than their gold value even at $7 mils, rings and helms for instance.

I think you are being a little naive. D3 isn't the first RPG where you can sell your gear for profit.
That being said, I use the RMAH. I don't plan on taking money out of the game. I simply enjoy accumulating wealth as a sort of an achievement for my time sink. I use Bnet currency because it is exempt from the 15% levy. If you are an opportunist and enjoy flipping items for profit, the RMAH is currently much more volatile. |
