Diablo 3 is already experiencing an economic crisis

6/11/12 3:00pm

 The responsibility Blizzard has in trying to maintain order in Diablo 3 is intimidating. Already people have voiced their displeasure with the need to always be online, now it appears that Blizzard's decision is justified. Asian servers were taken offline recently due to reports of item duplication, an exploit that would destroy any sort of economy the auction house has already established.

With the Real Money Auction House expected to release tomorrow (according to Diablo 3 itself), Blizzard is already taking extra precautions. Now, in order to add real currency to your Battle.net Balance, you will need to be using a Battle.net Authenticator (mobile or otherwise). Blizzard community manager Kaivax clarified

“This means you'll need to have an Authenticator to add to your balance via Battle.net Account Management or to send the proceeds of your real-money auction house sales to your Battle.net Balance.”

While these authenticators are freely available, I for one do not care enough to begin engaging in this practice. Anyone feel like using an authenticator will ruin their experience or is this just another security measure many will opt out of?

**EDIT** So from my understanding.... Could the real money be used anywhere? The way it sounds it seems like it's stuck electronically in Battle.net...

Scratch that; you could use it anywhere, they gave people the choice of Paypal. Which is convenient.

I get always little upset when I hear that a game is online-only, but after sometime I also always remember that it is not the developers giving you the middle finger, it's because of the douchebags who exploit everything and cheat.

Well, glad to see Blizzard deciding to make Diablo 3 Online-Only in order to remove any possibility of item-dupes as well as game-hacks ever appearing for their game!

HAH!

Wait a second. There are people spending real money for virtual items in a game? Well, when I put it like that, it sounds similar to weapon skins or extra character DLC.

I don't get why people would even consider not having an authenticator. They are easy to use and they make your account more secure.

an authenticator is no problem when I have WoW, SC2 and Diablo 3 all on my battle.net account. Having extra security against those hacks and phishing scams makes me feel at ease. Authenticated since 2009
