Diablo III: Blizzard steals from a player - briefly

(hx) 03:46 PM EDT - Jun,23 2012

Forbes reports that a Diablo III player named Weavols used the game's real money auction house to sell an item for $99 but didn't receive the money. When asking Blizzard for help, they basically ignored him. If you've been browsing the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) lately, you'll notice a lot of in-game items with prices ranging from $1.00 to a limit of $250. Players selling the items have the choice to sell the items, and be paid with real money - which is added to their Battle.net accounts - or to their PayPal account. We're talking about real money which can be deposited to a bank account for paying the bills.

Weavols, the Diablo III player in the spotlight, was mentioned in a thread titled "BLIZZARD STEALS FROM A PLAYER" on the Battle.net forums with this image attached.

The correspondence between Weavols and Blizzard Game Masters shows a feigned interest from customer service, and the volume of canned responses from GM's has not gone unnoticed by the community. After a phone call with Battle.net support and support ticket follow-ups, for this player it's been a full week of what any small business has to go through when chasing down money from flakey clients.

Sadly I bought this game... wtf for I have no idea, the word shit doesn't even begin to describe how crap and lackluster it turned out. The patches they shat out for this turd of a game, still haven't done anything to improve much of anything.

"The world is going under"

It's degenerating while technology, marketing and legal baallshit keep the delusions..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................up

I miss the good ol' games. Why games today must resort to buy this and buy that, that's just plain crap, they ignore the gameplay in the process. Blizzard used to be a good developer, most of their games are top notch, but now they're no different than the others. Sad

I'm surprised that you bought it, Koogle...You were one of the furious anit-Blizzard posters here and yet you let them take your money.... All of the disappointed people here should've known what they're getting into when BlizzCRAP announced the real money auction...

The game was designed around the auction house. On-level gear drops are nearly non-existent, forcing you to go to the AH to get decent equipment. Then the prices in the gold-based auction house ramp up geometrically after level 30, making it essentially impossible for the non-hardcore player to properly equip a character for higher difficulties of game play... unless you go to the RMAH.

Good job, Blizzard. You just squandered two decades of good will with your player base by turning a classic franchise into a GreedMachine. I will not be purchasing another of your games.

People spending real money to buy items are just plain and simple. Fucking Idiots.

I can't even believe I am playing this crap still. I just want to finish nightmare level and I'm done with it.

This game was a serious piece of crap though and I doubt anyone who worked on D2 worked on this shit. No fucking way! There is no AI whatsoever in this game. It's simply fucking over the player at the higher levels. Spawning in bad guys in the heat of a battle conveniently when you are at low health or just used a health vial, the fucking stupid overused lasers and/or lasso's of fire. Right now I am battling guys that drop on average 10 lasers all around you and they trap you! You can't trap them but hey, they can trap you or you just keep running around the maps like a total fucking retard because you have NO defence. It's the same shit over and over again on the same fucking map. I imagine at any higher level EVERYONE will use the lasers. That's just fucking total ass lame. How long this game was in development and this is all they could do. It's like I said, Blizzard ain't about making games, it's simply about making as much fucking money as they can.

I myself am done with anything Blizzard releases. I don't even care about an expansion for this game. Couldn't give a shit.
