But it wasn't microtransactions per se, at least not like the F2P games and Forza 5/GT6 are implementing, unless you consider the same system that the peeps managing (whom had nothing to do with Blizzard) D2-Items.com put up for Diablo 2 to be microtransactions as well. This was gamers nickel and diming gamers, usually in the most ridiculous and ironic way possible.
I say Ironic because I'd bet you anything that most of those gamers that put items to sell on D2-Items or in the RMAH in D3 (and those who bought them) are the first ones in line to rant and throw shit at the developers if they were to ones to do that. It's just basic human nature, it's only wrong and immoral if i'm not the one doing that, sadly.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you when you said that it's not understandable how so many few people are actually angry/dissapointed in the MTs of Forza 5/GT6. This is not a good direction to take for gaming, as the examples in D3 weren't too.
