If the items don't affect the challenge is ok with me. If they do, I won't play it religiously and maybe I won't buy it day one. I hate games that offer services like that, another reason I am not touching any free-to-play MMO out there.

It's not going to be much different from D2 where the game was plagued by third party sites selling ungodly items ( stuff you woudn't find playing the game hundreds of hours).

It's not like they are planning to sell items, they are offering a way for players to sell to each others....

It is going to be much different.  I can't fathom that some of you can't see a difference between third party sites selling items, being a shunned practice, and Blizzard endorsing and legitimising this to the mass market.  I find it messed up that gamers today seem fine with the idea of purchasing power; yes you're condoning this bullshit concept.

it might have been shunned but in practice every weapon with a half decent rune word you traded for after patch 1.10 was a dupe coming from some third party site., so in reality it was rampant. Heck pretty much every D2 class guide you find these days tells people to get gear they can not get legitimately by themselves in the game...

 

Seriously, how many of the people bitching here have played D2 on battlenet in the last 5 years ???? Before complaining, go see the reality..
