No more diablo 3 auction house!

it ultimately undermines Diablo's core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot

Getting items through the AH is not as fun as finding them by playing.

This is why I didn't ever buy this game. If loot drops are balanced around AH then 'twill suck.

I might actually play it now!

So I saw an ad for the new expansion! What can I buy for $1 for on my DH/Barb before the AH goes away? =)

Almost... Nothing! Folks going crazy and buying gold at inflated prices before the AHs shut down. I'm happilybroke again.

poo that sucks, so even all the items are jacked up in prices as well? =(. Are you going to play w/ your maxed plvled chars? =p

For "fun" and because a coworker was saying how he was playing too much last night and talked about how he could've made a bunch of money on the RMAH if it still existed, I took dave's sold list and ran it through some perl to see how much he made:

Code: Select all

cat ~/tmp/D3-RMAH.log \
|& perl -ne '\
  chomp; \
  if ( /^(.*)\s*\:?\s*\(\$(.*)\)\s*\[(.*)\].*/ ) { \
    $h->{$i++." $1"} = [$2,$3] \
  } elsif ( /(.*)\s\@\s*\$(.*)\s*/ ) { \
    $h->{$i++." $1"} = [$2,""] \
  } elsif (/^(.*)\s*\:\s*\(?\$([^\s])\)?\s*(?:\[(.*)\])?.*/) { \
    $h->{$i++." $1"} = [$2,$3] \
  } else { \
    print "".$i++." $_\n"; \
  }; \
END { \
  foreach $i ( reverse sort {$h->{$a}->[0] <=> $h->{$b}->[0]} keys %$h ){ \
    print "$h->{$i}->[0]\t$i\t$h->{$i}->[1]\n"; \
    $sum += $h->{$i}->[0]; \
  } \
  print "Made \$$sum\n" \
}'

RMAH: $2109.33

Code: Select all

cat ~/tmp/D3-flip.log \
|& perl -ne ' \
  chomp; \
  if( /(.*)\s*=\s*\$([^\s]+)*\s*\>\s*\$([^\s]+)\s*/ ) { \
    $h->{$_.$i++} = [$2,$3]; \
  } else { \
    print "$_\n"; \
  } \
  END { \
    foreach $i ( reverse sort {$h->{$a}->[1] - $h->{$a}->[0] <=> $h->{$b}->[1] - $h->{$b}->[0]} keys %$h ){ \
      print "".($h->{$i}->[1] - $h->{$i}->[0])."\t$i\t$h->{$i}->[1]\t$h->{$i}->[0]\n"; \
      $sum += $h->{$i}->[0]; \
    } \
    print "Made \$$sum\n" \
  }'

Flips: $728.17

Total: $2837.50

I'm uhh still playing even though they removed the AH!

Now I'm really just wasting my time
