Blizzard scraps D3 auction houses

One word: Entitlement.

I thought it was a great idea when it was first announced. Though, after some guildies asked me to play some D3 a few nights ago, I felt horribly out geared. The auction house actually provided a quick and easy way to pick up a few cheap upgrades to be at least a bit less squishy.

I also remember the days of D2 where if you wanted to “catch up”, you had to have a friend run something to find you upgrades or else grind a lower level boss yourself.

After this week, I’d probably would prefer the loot changes, and some sort of toned down auction house/trading post.

If you do plan on getting into the expansion, I’d recommend hopping in before and sniping some cheap upgrades before the AH goes away completely.

This was pretty much D2. Mephisto runs, Baal runs, cow level runs… Only they dropped something remotely usable every 10-20 runs versus every thousand or so.
