Unless you work for the design team your claim to it being tested is just as random. Is it likely that it wasn't tested, doubt it. But judging from all the glitches, nerfs, patches, etc if it was tested it wasn't for long.

It was in an interview between one of the blues and a site. Sorry, but I don't care enough to go hunting it just to prove it to you. I know what I read.

Expect nerfs? Yes and No. Yes because it became forced online play. No because it shouldn't be treated as a MMO. Which it has. Down to the Tuesday maintenance *cough* WoW. Gonna nerf all rpg games with online play now to?

People keep throwing that random skill building crap out there. Of those 1800+ combinations how many have you used? Or even poll it to every player. Drops down to lets say 1 hundredish and that's prolly rounding upwards. Because that accounts for all 5 jobs. Single job would be reduced to what 20-25. Of those it took what 2-3 days for people to abuse the completely broken ones? Telling me a full staff couldn't come to the same conclusion with even moderate testing?

Name you 1 massive online game without problems. You mean a MMO which this game isn't suppose to be? Good call.

Dunno about most games getting nerfed and it's not on this scale. Usually small fixes in design flaws or something.

I don't disagree that all builds couldn't be tested completely. But some things are easily pointed out and hard to miss. Things like life on hit stacked with attack speed or stacking skills, abilities with stats like crit hmm never would of seen that comming... Just saying.

Guess I just miss the old days where you bought a game and that's what you got and it was prepared as such. Not that bandwagon effect of it's close enough we can patch our f8ckups after release. From a company standpoint I understand making those $$$ but as a player it's getting really old. Even more sad that its become expected and people put up with it.

Enough from me though as this solves nothing lol. Anyways back to playing. Started playing barb again and need to grind out a gear for inferno.

Does this mean I get charged for a text message, along with the ridiculous fees, every time I put an item up on the RMAH?

I only had to do that the first time i put an Item on the Auction House.

So far anyway.

"Standard carrier rates apply."

Yup.

How do you even do the rl ah? I've only seen the regular one.

I wonder how the RMAH will factor into people's taxes...

Shhhhh.....

If you don't talk about the problem, it doesn't exist.

;>.>

Ten months to figure it out, give or take.

I don't remember 100% but I think they always ask you if there are any additional earnings that you haven't reported.

But tbh, I'm paranoid as f**k, so I'd prolly just report it anyway... or at least ask...

Better than it being found in an audit.

I think it has to be over a certain amount for it to count on your taxes. Like above $2500 or something.

Gross income; technically if you find 20 dollars on the street and you meet the reporting threshold you need to report that $20 as income.

In any event you report the gross amount you make off the RMAH (deductions for money or time involved getting this RMAH don't qualify as it's likely not a business transaction). It's just like getting an additional (unreported) paycheck but you don't have FICA taxes on.

I'd be careful about not reporting it, any reason to audit you could be bolstered by not reporting RMAH. It's not akin to receiving cash under the table, there is a definite electronic trail that Blizz will need to make in order to have these transactions go through.

Go to the gold AH like you have been. Top-right corner is a clicky for USD

Not seeing it @.@

Hmm, maybe somehow slightly different if you're a hardcore? Because I click Auction House then right by the 'X' to close out (close to completed tab too) is USD

Theres an update, you may have to completely log out to see it

lol.. have to wait 3 days if you bought online

Yea, I'm in hardcore if that makes a difference

Hardcore doesn't have an RMAH yet if that's what you play.

oh, ghey

Well, for when they do

Loving this game still, just beat butcher on Inferno. Hit a massive wall on Act2. I use a melee wiz, loving it, but figure I'll have to switch to blizz/hydra combo after the patch. /sadface

I'm guessing I'll have to switch over to blizz / hydra soon as well :( I've had to use it on a few elites and such because their abilities were too insane to allow me to stop for more than a tenth of a second, but blizzard is sooo weak (compared to disintegrate). I'm not sure about hydra...I think I used it once right when it became available and immediately took it back off.

Blizz isn't bad if you build for int/dmg instead of ias (which is getting nerfed anyways). Venom hydra is absolutely amazing, especially against slow/immobile targets.

Congrats Canada, you got the world first

Hurrrrrraaaay
