Diablo3 fansGold will continue to be worthless as long as players have an option to drastically increase the size of gold drops.BashiokGold will continue to be valuable as long as we have the option to drastically increase the amount needed to buy a desired item/feature.Diablo3 fansand the issue of gold and ah beind problems were adressed at blizzcon this year...and how it makes games very uninviting for new players to be able to get foothold in a gold driven economy....debunk or stfu no flames needed on this topic btw......BashiokI'd like to know more about what they said if you have a link. My guess is they were referring to a new player being able to compete in a market (auction house) that's run by a small percentage of the wealthiest players, or those that use mods to corner the markets. But I don't think it's as cut and dry as that even. Anyway, any additional info on what was said would be appreciated.A gold based economy is infinitely more approachable and easy for new players to get into and understand than an item drive economy. So I think you're putting your own spin on what they actually said or meant.Diablo3 fansother wise gold will be worthless cause item 4 item trades is what u do with stuff that is not boe or bop in a game liek DIABLO.BashiokFirst and foremost I think it's a mistake to forget that gold was an intended currency in Diablo II. The Diablo game style isn't based on the idea that gold needs or has to be worthless and item for item trades are the only thing that work and any attempts to do otherwise will fail because it's Diablo and people don't like gold and...Item for item trades are certainly a part of what people know from Diablo II but remembering the result doesn't mean it matches the intent.Let's make a hypothetical.Diablo III is out and gold is worth something. There are systems or features or something within the game that you want to buy or invest in and it costs gold or gold is a large component of the cos t to get it. Regardless of the specifics, you want MORE gold so you can buy some of this stuff you want. Ok.So then you're playing and you kill something and a sweet item drops, but you don't want it. Or better yet, you could keep it for an alt but you know it's worth something, so...You can go find someone and trade it for another itemYou can go sell it on a theoretical auction system getting gold for it, which (being worth something) can then be spent on the system/feature whatever it is you want gold for/or you can turn right around and buy an item you want from the theoretical auction system using the gold you just gotDiablo3 fansand also if you have not played wow on a full server statin fresh you have no idea how gold screw up an economy and make new players not even wanna play.BashiokYou could play the entire game (WoW) until you have all the best gear and have beaten the highest level and hardest bosses and never even know that the auction house exists. So Diablo 3 G old disagree completely.There's no reason Diablo III would be any different were it to include an auction house system and gold based economy.Diablo3 fansbiggest reason people quit wowgold run economy
