Just go play the stock market if you want this crap.I have to ask, how old are you? You clearly don't understand basic economics/human interaction. I'm not looking for a merchant simulator, I'm simply acknowledging the reality that there is a market, which you seem unable to. Anytime there is scarcity, there will be markets. Doesn't matter if it's seashells, dollar bills or Diablo's gold.
And again, you're clearly naive. I can't examine an ingame SOJ with a jeweler's glass and say, "This one is clearly fake!" There isn't any way to determine valid items vs duped ones.
And finally, the cheating ruins a great action RPG because it ruins the market. Action RPGs are largely driven by gear, which is highly random. My wizard gets some great barbarian gear - rather than it being totally worthless, I can trade it with a barbarian who had some great wizard gear drop. When cheaters enter the mix, it destroys this.
seriously though, the $50k car is a horrible example because a) you didn't sink money into getting your legit drop and b) and having dupes in the MP does NOT justify screwing up the singleplayer GAME... which, you know, it is (a game that is)
The items on the Auction House came from someone killing bosses and getting rewarded with good loot. They don't appear out of thin air.
Except for the fact that they DO appear out of thin air.. blizzard makes up those drop rates.lo
