Wagering in-game gold would not be considered gambling. In-game items are not redeemable for cash and have no REAL value. That's why in the long legal stuff you have to read before installing the game it says that all in game items are Blizzards property or something like that.

I doubt wagering would make it an Esport. I think it could make some PvP games more interesting and competitive which would be fun. It could just be one of the matchmaking options and there would be lots of games without a pot. Doing items would be overly unless its 1v1. How do you divide the items or decide which items are acceptable wagers.

WOAH WOAH WOAH! How dare you use common sense in here! Also you are saying OPTIONS....OPTIONS ARE GOOD?! What the hell is wrong with you? Seriously people, wagering items and gold is exactly what Diablo should be about. Sad you kids who think this makes it an esport or makes it illegal gambling are the ones calling the shots ha.

Been playing beta a lot lately, and I think that some skills shouldnt have time limits. For instance... the Barbs ground stomp...very useful but frustrating having to wait 30secs everytime to use it. My suggestion would be to make it a fury generator which only stuns opponents when fury is completely full only causing damage until it maxes. I think this would work well for a lot of skills. When fury is maxed you get the best results.

Another idea: add a salvage all button at the blacksmith and give him the repairs job back... makes 0 sense to do this a a vendor who sells crap. It'd be nice to go to a vendor and see something you could use once and a while too. And maybe its been talked about b4, but why is there no gambling? This missing feature needs to find its way back into the game...and again with a "chance" of getting a really good item and not just crap.


Lastly, does anyone have a clue as to when the community site might update the items page??? Seems to be a huge empty feeling for me at least to see so much of the content, but nothing useful on items.

"Gambling" items ala D2 that you can sell for real $$$ could present a whole new set of legal questions surrounding the game.

yay people can stop QQing about build devotion/hot swapping on the go and boss loot. hooo-fucking-ra. praise the diablo gods

Its a band aid solution that fixes nothing.

Some level of permanency shouldn't need to be encouraged, it should just be.

This changes almost nothing on that regard. I'm not saying its not nice to have, but its not even a solution to that at all.

If they are selecting 25 keys from this contest, right now every participant has a 0.7% chance of winning. 141:1 odds.

Not good. According to http://funny2.com/odds.htm, you are more likely to get on a plane with a drunk pilot than to win this contest. Just saying.

dude what?
right now there are 3545 replies in the contest thread (assuming those are all valid entries into the contest).
50 keys up for grabs (unless i misunderstood something? where did you get 25 from?)

50/3545
.014% chance of whinning
odds are about 7100 to 1
according to your link thats about the same as "Odds of being considered as Possessed buy Satan: 7000:1

"

and i suppose thats technically correct as if you do get a beta key im sure all your time will be possessed by Diablo.
