The most effective little bit of news for Diablo 3 fans

The most effective little bit of news for Diablo 3 fans since Reaper of Souls was announced isn’t an addition, but a subtraction. Today Blizzard revealed that it’s going to de-activate both Diablo 3′s (PC) gold and real-money auction houses on March 18, 2014.

The markets were designed to give players a simple way to trade and optimize their gear, but it really was ultimately shortsighted, Reaper of Souls production director John Hight wrote on the official blog:

“[A]s we’ve mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that regardless of the advantages of the AH system plus the undeniable fact that many players around the world apply it, it ultimately undermines Diablo’s core game play: kill monsters to have cool loot. “

While using the markets gone and also a new “Loot 2.0″ system inside works well with Reaper of Souls, Blizzard hopes new players and veterans will find a more rewarding experience for everyone. They’ll still have to be online to try out it, naturally, unless Blizzard decides the anti-cheating measures are not necessary lacking any economy to worry about.
