I don't know. Anyway, I hope they can reverse this, and fix the game to be about fun, not the RMAH.
You lost all credibility when you said this. You proved yourself to be stupid and ignorant in one fell swoop.
If you really think this game is "about the RMAH" then you really really are pretty stupid. Diablo 1 and 2 both had HUGE markets on ebay. D3 would be no different, as such Blizzard nipped it in the bud by adding it right into the game in order to both protect the community and make a little money. If you are dumb enough to see that as a bad thing you probably also have to actively think about breathing to do so.
Seriously?
I played D2 for years, and never had the feeling I needed to buy ANYTHING on ebay.
Don't teenage rant me. I'm just expressing my feeling which is shared by many: without the AH, you can't play the game entirely basically because of the loot system.
Actually, even better, if you NEVER bought anything from the AH, I'll bow to you, if you have, think again.
Btw, ask your mom to teach you manners.
For what it's worth he never said that you, personally, felt as if you needed to make eBay purchases.
He simply stated that there were huge markets on eBay for D1 & D2 (moreso D2 than D1) and that one of Blizzard's motives for the RMAH was to help protect its customers from scams and instead of letting commissions go to 3rd party websites they could collect the commissions themselves and use that money to bring the players more in the future.
I don't know about you, but as someone who sells items on the RMAH, I'm much happier that Blizzard is getting the commission than I would be about eBay. It's only going to help ensure that they have better hardware, that their employees get paid better, and that we ultimately have better products. My commissions going to eBay do nothing to further my experience with Blizzard products.

It is interesting how people understand the same information differently.
When I made the post I was more surprised than anything. Granted, I still don't feel this is a mature enough product, but I play the game and have fun with it. Not leaving or anything, but was quite alarmed with the graphic, that is all.
Just wanted to post this to those saying I was trolling a fan site. That was not my idea.
The original article talks about a series of things, not only Xfire. I read it, posted the link, but apparently, the graph got all the attention. If you have 2 mins, read it.
Thanks =)
Seriously, dont use Cinema Blend, all those bloggers do is look at the D3 forums and post "news" about what ever is popular there.
They also claimed that session spoofing was actually happening, and that Blizzards servers were hacked. (Both have NEVER been proven, or even had one ounce of evidence to support)
There are other sites to reference for better, more accurate information. (even to the same kind of tune against D3)
I actually don't read those sites. I was in bed, reading news in Flipboard and saw the article, read it and thought to share it.
Flipboard is just an aggregator. A good part of the article lists problems with German, France and Korea. Also some issues with RMAH listed in Forbes. Problem is, apparently, the graph took all the attention, hehe. Maybe I should only have listed the article.
Anyway, it is good to know about the site. Thanks. =)

Yesterday I came across this article, and thought to share it here.
We all feel like there are less and less people playing, but the graph and numbers really surprised me. Maybe that is why Blizzard is putting patches out so quickly?

Update:
- As many pointed out, Xfire does cause issues with D3, thus the drop is most likely related to that too.
- Xfire users are a small fraction of the user base
- Please read the "original article" as there are more things that interested me in it than just the graphic.
