Blizzard vs. Real Money Trading (RMT)

[nobbie]

I think the RMT AH thing is overrated (by the critics). First, trading for real money will happen anyway, and with the AH Blizzard knows exactly where the money flows and can therefore ban price monopolies/cartels (china farmers) if necessary. Second, in the beginning everyone will probably try to make some cash from items, but they won't sell in most cases. In just a couple of months this whole RMT thing will be back to a normal state and regular trading (for gold) will take place in most cases.
