Report: How Blizzard's Fixed Drop Rates Affect The RMAH

Gaming Blend "One of the things that has come under fire lately is that Blizzard has fixed loot drops to maintain a balance of the virtual economy (which is fuelled by a lot of real money), thus helping them net a sizable profit from high grade items on the Real-Money Auction House thanks to their 15% tax rate for real-money cash-outs."

This RMAH is so dumb...im glad South Korea made it illegal...because no game should ever do something like that ... obvious money grab...and with duping and all kinds of different cheats that are possible theres just way too many variable to make it an unsafe thing to do.

D3 is pay to win. How do people still not understand this?

sashimi5075d ago

too bad no matter how much people pay it doesn't make them any more skilled...

Motorola5074d ago

No skill in this game. All about the gear!

Drekken5074d ago

So I guess I cheated the system last night when I beat Diablo in Inferno without spending a dime?

H@X!

RoseSapphire5075d ago

The RMAH is a joke. Diablo is a virtual monopoly. Blizzard created the game, ships the game, sells the game, determines when you can play, how you can play, creates the drop rates, and profits off of everything.

It is in their interest to keep everything rare so that prices are high and they make the largest profit off of the auction fees.

lol @ the blizzard fanboy who disagreed with you.

His logic "I can't mount an argument, I will simply disagree and disappear into the night. Thank goodness for internet anonymity".

Don't worry fanboys, we know it's you mounting up some stealth disagrees

TitanUp5075d ago

blizzard is not as good as it used to be.

ZodTheRipper5075d ago

Blizzard is only getting 1€/$ per auction (that has been sold), the 15% are Paypal fees and apply only if you want the money being added to your Paypal account.

vortis5074d ago

Blizzard has it on their website that they get the 15% fee when you're moving money from your account to Paypal.

Paypal doesn't take 15%, they usually take about 2% from large transaction fees. But the max you can move is $250 per real world cash out.

Blizzard Wants Faster Diablo Releases and More Expansions

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.

QuantumMechanic86d ago

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

VonAlbrecht86d ago

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

Christopher85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198985d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

Michiel198985d ago

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
