Blizzard Removing the Auction House From Diablo III Entirely

It seems that this will happen at the release of the new expansion, alongside an update called Loot 2.0 that will make loot drop a bit less, but be much better quality.  So you can just play the actual game, not the auction house meta nonsense.

It is important to note they are NOT removing the always online DRM along with the auction house (aka their excuse for the DRM in the first place).

I read about this a bit ago. Seems their little experiment is a failure. Which we all knew. Too bad it already left a bad taste in my mouth.

Also, wasn't it always online because of the way they set the game up? As in your always playing through their servers even in single player?

I read this a bit ago as well. Pretty much right after I bought the console version. Its too little too late for the PC version in my opinion. The expansion will bring people back but I don't think its gonna release as fast as the first quarter of 2014 which I believe is when the AH closes down. They always take their sweet time so that xpac is gonna be awhile.

 

I cant believe I gave them another chance on the console version but it was given some love and is more enjoyable to me currently.
