Someone has to be generating the items though. Not everyone is going to be able to sit there and wait for the items to show up on the AH.
Any "professional" farmers will be using the RMAH. If what is listed in the OP happens, then the GAH items will simply dry up, leaving people unable to play the GAH anymore. Ultimately supply and demand will keep a balance of people spending time item hunting and people spending time GAH hunting. Ultimately gold will end up with a valuation approximating the amount of time, on average, it takes to find a really great rare item. Inflation will happen since gold is plentiful, but gold will still be leaving the system.
- a 15% tax on auctioning is a substantial amount
- many of the crafted set items look to be worth crafting
- the really high level gems look to take very significant amounts of gold out of the system as well, and there's no other source for anything comparable.
