Well for once I have to agree with wit Sabvre... there are tons of "one post" Members that contribute NOTHING to the community... the thing is I think you cant circumvent this matter... even if you say "at least 10 constructive posts" people will just write @%"§ 10 times to get the keys.
Oh and definitely point 3... so many stupid topics about things that were "new" months ago. (and they were most likely already discussed <_<)
Worst problem is Curse doesn't give a fuck about us actual members. Same strategy as F2P games... aim at the newbies rather than retain the oldbies. More people means more people that can accidentally or intentionally click on the banners/ ads.. means more people that bring them money.
Curse you Curse... enjoy screwing over your longtime forum goers :Thumbs Up:
Actually, it's better not to dig around too many posts made by members because oldies did troll/flame at some point in the past. Posts made lately and good forum behavior are a good requirement to both keep the quality of conversation high and get more people interested/informed.
Sure, oldschool members have pretty much discussed everything to the death, but... well, oldschool members can help new members with information they need.
Also, it's easier to reward one great post and not to check 3,4,5 or whatever number of posts sounds fairer. Multiplied by 200.

I would like to formally protest this post contest.
1.) People are just going to create multiple accounts in order to increase their odds of getting a key.
2.) The long time members are going to get flooded out by the newbs that are ONLY contributing for the key.
3.) The influx of new members normally creates an influx of repeat topics and questions that are often retarded as they are old old old news.
There's tools we mods have to make sure there aren't multiple accounts. We've banned members before for this, even without beta key giveaways. Just sayin'!
Anyways, good luck everyone! At least the amount of keys to be distributed is large enough to have a good part of the community satisfied! -

There are still gold selling and other grinding services and character sales as well going on in WoW to this day... If it wasn't worth it people wouldn't practice it.
And there are still accounts being suspended for it. Out of the quite a few million subscribers of WoW, no doubt some will pay 3rd party sites and then pay the price for it. -

FingolfinGR posted a message on ActivisionBlizzard WebCast Analyst DayIllegal 3rd party sites are illegal. Which very much means that if caught doing such trades you're very likely to lose all money invested and your time and money used to actually buy the game. Not to mention the possibility of being scammed.Posted in: News
Too much of a risk if you ask me. -

It's quite amusing. With Diablo II we had the most inconvenient way to trade ever. Diablo III offers us 2 solid, convenient ways (in addition to the one of Diablo II) and yet way more people are complaining!
The face-to-face bartering system had a certain charm that you don't see in modern online games.
It was still extremely inconvenient and spammy to get your item sold, not to mention sold without one of the people involved getting completely ripped off. And it's also availiable in Diablo III. If it won't be used it shows it's not good enough. -

FingolfinGR posted a message on ActivisionBlizzard WebCast Analyst DayUp to 10% it should be good indeed. But I'm still not ungrateful for an opportunity to make some money out of it. Either way, I plan to have some e-currency on my account from my free listings. But I highly doubt people will pay as much as 100$, not to mention the outrageous amount of 1000$ some may have said. Sounds too much even for fully geared lvl 60 characters.Posted in: News

Lol..your obviously missing the point here.If we cash out 1000$ and the fee is 10% they will take 100$ which is freaking a lot of money for their pockets. You have any idea how much they are going to win only from people cashing out every year ? Milions.Quote from Molsterr
I still dont understand the fuss. There taken a % out when we cash it....so? if it wasnt for them and this game... we wouldnt get any money at all from items... so... take all the % you want, free money is free. [Free compared to not haven a RMAH at all]
So the issue is that they take a slice? Because last time I watched, e-bay took a slice. Other companies had stores that simply generated the items and got all the pie. Molsterr's point is that "we get 90% of the pie instead of a small piece (or nothing) and we're still complaining". -

Guilty. But it wasn't really contributing to the conversation, so it was fully justified if you think of it. -

Blizzard will not take a percentage. There are two fees and both are flat. One for posting, and one for selling. It's all laid out in plane text on the official site:
Official Blizzard Quote:
A nominal fixed transaction fee will be deducted from the seller for each item listed in the auction house. This fee consists of a fixed charge to list the item, which is assessed whether or not the item is successfully sold, and an additional fixed charge that is assessed only if the item is sold. Because the listing portion of the fee is charged even if the item doesn't sell, it will be in the seller's interest to list items he or she believes other players will be interested in, and to do so at a competitive price. Specific details related to the transaction fee for the currency-based auction house will vary by region and will be announced at a later date.

What you're saying is about selling for e-currency.

That's for the cash-out option. And it pretty much says we'll be learning more later. Which is now. -

FingolfinGR posted a message on ActivisionBlizzard WebCast Analyst DayIf you choose to cash out, you won't pay the flat price, but a set % of the sum as it goes to the Third Party Site. So much we pretty much expected before. What's important is the %. If it's around 10% then it shouldn't be an issue. More and it will definitely will. Wait and see. Worst case scenario we stick to the regular "gold" auction house.Posted in: News

Since it's only being sold by Blizzard directly, you'll have to wait until they put it up on discount again. If you're lucky it might be around Christmas.
Wouldn't hold my breath, though.

One of the things that makes me doubt it'll have the feeling of a real Elder Scrolls game is the fact that there's going to be many heroes. The whole point of every single Elder Scrolls game I've played so far was that "shit, the world is going down, I'm the one that needs to save it"!

Playing in a team kinda helps with using a "not awesome" spec for some things but quite awesome in others, though.

That's actually not correct. There's a set amount of CE's produced. Where they go afterwards is a different matter. Some remain unsold and get re-distributed elsewhere, giving the illusion they were produced later on. Some pre-orders also get cancelled with the same result.
I used to work in retail so I know this as a fact.

Not really, Zero! You'll be here doing moderator duties while we EU mods are playing! We'll start working after your release (9 hours should be enough for starters)!

1. Wizard
2. Barbarian
3. Demon Hunter
4. WItch Doctor
5. Monk
Post-beta:
1. Monk
2. Barbarian
3. Wizard
4. Demon Hunter
5. Witch Doctor
So... yeah, getting my hands on the game made me change my mind hard on the Monk. His playstyle is awesome! Wizard is also very very nice, but I guess I'll need to play over lvl 13 to enjoy the really strong stuff and get more powerful.
Still not 100% sure what I'll start, though. Barb/Wizard/Monk are swapping places every time I log in to play.
