jepsen1977: I know it's not new but that's no excuse. People will not be happy when they find new rare items but instead ask how much they can sell it for and make real money. The Chinese will have a field day over this and will set up shop with lots of goldfarmers and now do it with item-farming instead. That's just sad.
I'm pretty sure they're doing the region thing and the Asian area gets no real money AH at launch. That's not to say people won't use proxies, they will, but it may keep some kind of lid on the problem.
dae6: As annoying as the always online requirement is, if the game can keep my wife away from Facebook games for at least a while, then I think it's worth putting up with.
FB is the devil. Maybe you need a XBox 360 and Live so she can play Peggle, Zuma, etc., they're not the best games in the world but they appeal to people who tend to like the FB game type of experience and are in general much higher quality.
