Question
I just learned about Diablo 3 Real Money Auction house and I wonder how much money could I expect to gain from selling item on it.
More precisely, Is it reasonable to expect to retrieve my initial investment for buying the game?
Answer
No, I don't think it is reasonable to go into playing Diablo 3 with that assumption. There are currently too many unknowns to be able to reasonably say whether or not that will be the case, for example:
- Will you get lucky with drops?
- How much will items go for on the RMAH?
- How much time will be needed to farm items to make gold?
- Are you willing to spend that time?
- Will the RMAH be overflowing with items because of the millions of players playing Diablo III?
- How will non-binding items affect prices comared to WoW?
As it is an in-game facility, it can't be compared to D2 to get a historic idea of prices. Only dedicated players bought and sold in D2, whereas anyone can sell (and buy) in D3.
This answer will obviously change in time, as we know more about the unknowns above.
