Haha you guys still trying to squeeze a buck out of this

This is only normal and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone (we've been talking about it here for a long of time ) and noone could make a valid argument as to why not remove the floor.
There's also a couple of things gold will never be 0 so theoretically you could always make something (but investment vs profitability is a whole different story)and the ladder reset won't work here. i've seen two other theories both wrong one from botters for example put a floor price on gems based on gold which proved to be wrong because gems are already selling bellow their floor by simply selling more

- they could potentially adjust AH to have a minimum per 1piece but this won't work either because in that case peps would simply go to gold selling websites and sell there or out of game trading, imposing limits is never good (same goes for the max 2bil limit) and the other one from players "the inflation" yeah right...because gold is loosing value items will skyrocket in price which is also false . everything comes down to those 8 players still playing and liking the game.
I terms of long term profitability there won't be any major change (perhaps circumstantial changes as it was with the sms thingy "bug"

and i wouldn't raise my hopes up for the expansion either because the trick with diablo 3 only worked once it won't work twice . Lots of peps will not buy the expansion or they will be very reluctant in buying
(myself included ) - if i am to buy it . it will only be to bot it .
