Hmm, is Acti-Blizzard trying to "test the waters" in their latest plan to print items via "New BoA GAH" and get $ via RMAH gold purchases by sending their MVP minions to "make the suggestion".

Of course, plan is pretty fail since Blizzard can't stop players from buying cheaper gold from 3rd Party sources.

I was thinking. Stuff in this game is EXPENSIVE!

I mean, crafting is a good start towards a gold sink... but why not take a play right out of the WoW handbook? Now before you get all upset and say "You just want to make this more like WoW" I have to say this. WoW has a massive playerbase, more than D3 could ever wish to have. There's a reason behind it. WoW is pretty much the PERFECT online game. Well, here's an adaptation of the WoW Black Market AH.

Basically this will be an auction house, but not just any ordinary auction house. The sellers are not players and do not receive any gold. The seller is the game itself.

Perfectly rolled Legendaries can be found here. However there's a catch, these Legendaries are BoA, and the bidding starts at 10m. There is no buyout.

Players will be competing with each other for perfectly rolled Legendary Items. Since these are STUPIDLY rare, players will pay billions of gold for them.

There's not just a 15% gold sink, there's a 100% gold sink. Billions will be removed from the system in a matter of weeks thus removing the massive amounts of inflated gold the botters have so graciously given us.

Since these items are BoA, they will not reenter the system, but there's no reason to. They're perfect and cannot be beaten by anything currently in the game.

Every time I see a mephuser thread I think of Mel Gibson in the movie Conspiracy Theory.

A good friend of mine is a MvP in the WoW community. Not only does he not have any formal channel of communication with any Blizzard employee's, he has never received any perks besides a special forum title with no moderation access. A Blizzard community MvP is nothing more than Joe the tow truck driver who hobbies a game and spends too much time on the forums helping others.

Stop making threads whenever a yahoo makes a thread on the battle.net forums.

I cannot prove the legitimacy of your claim of "good friend of mine is a MvP in the WoW community" but of course it could be true.

There have been "no" cases of MVPs speaking directly against Acti-Blizzard's policies and development directions until a Blizzard employee has issued a public statement stating that their past policies and development directions were "in need of improvement".

MVPs are under a rather "strict" posting policy so I doubt that they will post stuff that are inflammatory/flame-bait/controversial that will risk damaging the reputation of Blizzard (and of course risk revoking their MVP status) without 1st obtaining the approval/blessing of Blizzard officials.

Of course, if it goes seriously wrong, the MVP gets the flak and is "disavowed" and Blizzard feigns ignorance and does PR damage control because of the below public belief:

Even Blizzard CMs can choose to act acting against Blizzard's management policy with "ahem" consequences:

MVPs are nothing. Blizzard selling their own items publicly, not happening.
 
Ow boy... MVP = Nothing, just a forum guy.

MVP sign
MVP's are not employees of Blizzard Entertainment. We are players just like you.
Nothing I say is Official word from Blizzard, everything is of my own conjecture.
I don't have moderation powers and I am not a Blizzard Representative.
