[cynical] Reading this discussion of using the AH planted a thought in my mind. Perhaps it has been brought up before and discussed to death and I missed it, but it actually ties in with another annoyance I've been having.
The AH does not exist because it facilitates trading of unused gear. It does do that, but that is not Blizzard's motive for creating it. In reality, the AH is the only part of the game that allows D3 to be labeled an MMO. Otherwise, the partying is nothing more than what existed in its predecessors. Applying the label MMO gives Blizzard justification in requiring all players to be online. I have no desire to use the AH. I haven't even looked at it. Let me play offline or, at least, do not time out my obviously solo game and take away my clearing progress because life requires an AFK.
