No.
Why not?
Here's why.
Picture this: you and your friends are in this small little AH community. For simplicity it's just and one other friend. You go on and play and gain 1000 paragon and all the gear you ever wished for. Your friend quits just after he hit 70. Your friend comes back. Now he instantly gets flooded with your "gg gear" that you obviously don't need. He has 10 minutes playtime on level 70 and his gear is absolutely finished. All he needs is rift keys and maybe a few hundred paragon (which you as a good friend give him by dragging him through a few GR80 runs).
Result? Your friend has 2 hours played after coming back but nothing to farm for. The entire purpose of the game (gearing up), all the fun parts, are entirely lost. He is wearing (and will be wearing) zero pieces of gear he has found himself. Attachment to the character, to the game? None.
Your friend will be offline tomorrow again, and not come back to Diablo. Ever. But hey, at least you got his money!
Auction house has always been terrible, will always be terrible, and I hope it never comes back. If you're into trading sell your soul and become a broker at the New York Stock Exchange. Well, or play Path of Exile. But in Diablo 3, you won't find your new business opportunity.
Thanks, but I hope this explains why no one wants the AH back (except for the "nice individuals" that made thousands of dollars in D3V - please go away). And from hearing some of the D3 developers' responses to ideas like yours, I think they have similar thoughts. Again: D3 = no trading. PoE = trading. Play a different game, but we have danced with the devil and killed him for good.

Wow ... "Do you guys not have phones?" come back reply .... lol I have no desire to play games on my phone, especially a hack and slash. I am not even sure how that is possible on a phone. A tablet I can somewhat see but a phone.
Maybe I am expecting too much from it. It really has to be a dumbed down game.

Eh .. first thing I noticed it that he just created this account to make this post. Then he ends it with "Let the hate be told in the comments =)"
Leads me to believe this is just a troll that made this post to get people all riled up...
Best thing to do is just ignore him and do not give him the satisfaction as I bet he will come back from time to time to see the results of his work ... lol

Honestly this...
This game is more of an MMO than an ARPG. Even the commentator stated such in the video that this game plays more like WoW even though it may look like Diablo graphically. As such, I personally have no interest in this game.

I guess I am old... I remember when a game came out, you played it then waited until the next game came out. There were no content patches and such.
I think people need to face up to the reality that his game is over 4 years old and eventually going to stop getting content patches. I am surprised they have put as much into the game as they have. Time to move onto the next game if you can not accept that.

For a good player knowing the locations of elites and monsters and projectile highlighting should not be important. Not knowing those is part of the CHALLENGE.
