Jay Wilson (former game director for Diablo 3, for those who don't know) recently stated some interesting opinions regarding the D3 auction house.
Jay Wilson stated "It's not good for a game like Diablo. It doesn't feel good to get items for money, it feels good to get items by killing monsters". He also stated that "It's something team talks about every week and wants to fix" but because so many people use the auction house, there is a fear that those players would leave.
It's an interesting idea, especially considering the PS3 version of Diablo will not have an auction house. Do you think it's a case of "too late, too little" for Diablo, or would pulling the plug on the Auction House be beneficial to the game?
