Rich kids will get inferno world first.
Topic for provocation but face it. Blizzard`s "bet" on how many months it will take for someone to beat inferno is laughable. From the massive game pool you are bound to found few grown-ups with good salary job and skill to play the game and this results in the following:
Once the edge of the core gamers start to reach the end hell / inferno drops the RMAH will start to get stacked and the guy with the $$$ can gear up he`s char to the teeth in probably the first week when people have realistically started to get items from those difficulty levels and why? First of all the average in-game resource value (gold and items) is really really REALLY low compared to real life currencyso a player not putting real money to the game will have an impossible task of keeping hes characters geared up compared to the RMAH guy.
and face it. D3 PvE is hack`n`slash so the skill cap reguired is not exactly high so what is left is the item gain and rich kid got that covered too so the first week when hell items start to poor to the AH you will see inferno world first. It kinda depends if teams are better than solo though who will get it but it will have RMAH in main role.
I think there should be achievement for beating inferno without using RMAH. The problem is that GAH and RMAH are connected so it is basically impossible. Maybe there should be like ironman achievement in similar fashion like the WoW ironman challenge. "beat inferno without using auction house and not sharing anything through shared stash, gold included.
edit: i do think RMAH is against the spirit of competition present in games. RMAH alone is ok, but there should be mode for the competitive players too. Right now the inferno first is like having a 100m run and one guy buys a scooter and drives the 100 metres :I.
Blizz stated that there would be no world first achievements, so your argument is moot!
I would gladly aid rich kids in getting good items, it really doesn't bother me if they finish inferno before me or others as long as I get some $$$.
If and when pvp is added you'll just have to deal with it, D3 isn't an e-sport and isn't pvp oriented, rich kids will have better gear and will probably pwn you!
