Who gives a flying fig about the auction house? Its existence had little do with actual problems like me being disconnected constantly from the server. At a certain point, after losing multiple buffs while soloing on Inferno, I got tired of that crap and haven't bothered to play the game since.

I might look at a D3 expansion, but unless they suddenly allow you to play offline while you're soloing, it would really have to wow me. The only way I'm getting it otherwise is if my two friends with whom I normally group decide to get the expansion. It would have helped a bit if Blizzard had actually included truly random dungeons (procedurally-generated ones) for me to be interested in it.

Oh, and to echo everyone else: Diablo III wasn't an F2P game - duh. If I had to rate my actual experience, I might give it a 7.5 (or a 7) - in part due to the highly annoying connection issues.

Gah - duplicate post.

Blizzard and Diablo were gone the moment they shut down Blizzard North. RIP Diablo (I don't fancy braindead now-twitching-for-false-vigor and money-hungry damned rotten zombies).

I never played D3 after seeing the reviews and problems it had and while I still probably won't pay for it anytime soon I do want to give Blizzard credit for doing such a massive overhaul of their game like that. That takes some serious balls and the fact that such a huge company is essentially making their game completely devoid of microtransactions is awesome to me. It seems like all everyone(hooray for generalizing) has been doing recently is complaining about how companies don't care about the gamer and they just see us as wallets etc. has been proven wrong at least in this case. Sure they may be doing it to sell expansions but any AAA game without microtransactions recently is a win in my book.

If only a certain other company would stop relying on microtransactions...

ETA: Grammar mistakes, not gonna fix 'em.

ETA2: Also if they could do a massive overhaul of the balance in SC2 that'd be great.

My husband and I just started playing the Xbox version, and I'm totally hooked.

I'd never played the previous Diablos, but in the past, we'd played the hell out of Champions of Norrath and Return to Arms. It kind of reminds me of those. (I know, it's the whole chicken vs. the egg thing with those games, but that's the only practical experience I have to relate it to).

Anyway, I went into it with low expectations - my husband harassed me to play it with him, after all. But now, I'm having a ball with it. Sure, the story is kind of goofy, but I'm having fun. That's the most important thing in my book.

And, three characters later, here I am. I'm going to start a Demon Hunter run tonight. (woo hoo!)

But on topic, I noticed some user comments on the Diablo wiki about the auction house. It sounded downright ridiculous how it worked. People were scalping blacksmith plans, weapons, anything, and were very business-like about it. It was just weird.

Whatever Blizzard. Though you got me hyped up for Hearthstone.

So after the nightmare that was the release of this game, over a year ago, Blizzard has been making tweeks through numerous patches to try and get it off of life support. Something that I think most large game companies would be hard pressed to do for a f2p game. 

This however has to be one of the biggest dev overhauls done for a single game that is at this stage of its life. I know you can look at it as them wanting to try and sell the expansion, but just think how easy it would have been to throw the towel in once they realized the design flaws the release had.

This has actually gotten me to consider following the development of the expansion more closely rather than just wating to see what happens with it for word of mouth.

Anyone else feel similar, or do you feel that Blizzard still needs to show something first before you take a look at the game again?

Edit: I'm a goof, here's a link to the news article they put out http://us.battle.net...pdate-9-17-2013

It was an interesting experiment that failed miserably.
I'm not surprised to see them do away with it completely since it's been an uphill battle against exploiters from day one for them.
Congratulations to all the bot users out there. They won.

I enjoyed D3 quite a bit myself, went all the way through Inferno with a Wizard and I have a Demon Hunter that's somewhere in Hell, they are a very fun class to play.
