Sorry if this was mentioned already. Too many pages of comments to read through.

One issue I see with this...if you can put an auction up for real money instead of gold, how many people will actually put up something for gold? I wouldn't. Those of us that don't care enough to spend our paycheck on epic loots may end up with a long, grindy farming spree to get what we need/want because no one is selling for the in game currency.. But who knows...gold in d2 was really obsolete anyway. I never saw weapons being sold for gold, only traded for other weapons. Hopefully gold in d3 will be a little more significant to use for more than just repairs.

That said, I can't wait for this game.
