OMG gold is at 0,25, been 5 hours,cant sell anymore,gold is deaded

You all must realize that for blizzard price of gold DOESNT MATTER, as long as theres healthy supply of it to RMAH. They knew that ppl will always spend exact same amount of real money on gold, only if gold is at 1$/mill they will just buy if four times less than for 0.25$/mill. Of course thy COULD add some gold sinks to motivate ppl for buying more gold, but that would be done only if out of all ideas they come up with, they choose this as best solution to milk $ of D3, not as deliberate attempt to combat gold inflation. And as for now i think that they rather investing their limited resources into developing new items, becuse its easiest and most certain way to attract ppl into spending real cash. Goldselling in this game is gone, get used to that.

Blizzard gets a static 15% of the total sale. Higher gold price means higher cut for Blizzard. But lets assume that doesn't matter and they don't care, and look at how having gold at 0.25 inconveniences players.

Having a high price per million on gold gives a higher incentive to actually farm this gold, and believe it or not, there are actually legit players using and selling gold on the auction house, not just bots. If the gold price is too low, or they can't sell anything because of the cap, they might lose interest in playing at all.

Another thing is that with the gold price reaching the floor, players are more inclined to look elsewhere when buying and selling gold. Blizzard doesn't want this. They do not support third party sites. They do not get a cut of the gold if its sold through third party sites.

Either way, I believe it is beneficial for Blizzard to do something about it, either lower the floor or release new content.
 
for those of you guys who think gold price dropping won't affect item value is WRONG

item prices are also depreciating fast in GAH. They actually needs to have a decent stats to sell it for 1 MILLION gold
 
Don't think you have common sense. If the price of gold is cheaper, then the gold needed to buy items would be greater since gold is worth less and are in greater circulation.

this would only be true if the number of available items would be static. fact is new (good) items get dropped a zillion times every day.

15% lost on gah flip... extra 15% on the item... if it sells...

for gold goes 15 on gah flip then nearly 27,5 of total value to blizz. (they don't pay more then 1buck per transaction to paypal...)

for a 12.5% loss, I wouldn't risk myself buying 250u$ items... since they losing they value each day... in a rate higher then gold. (I've seen a 250u$ item dropping to 30u$ in 5 days...) while 250u$ worth of gold went to 220-230u$...

Just to mention I bough a item for 30m yesterday that 15 days ago I sold for 200u$.

As a buyer why would you even use rmah for items if its way cheaper to buy gold and use it on gah and still have gold left?
 
have tried a gold/rmah item exchange several times.

it's like 20% chance it works good and 80% chance it fails hard....

to sum it up: it's too risky and too much people trying exactly this. you need a pot of 1 billion+ each item to have better chances...

dont worry hes a fool.. and yes most people have a go to item when it comes to flipping... something they know will sale quick. Problem is as others pointed out gold value is/was dropping fast and you might get yourself burned even on your go to item. Honestly we all fucked now, good times are over and its every man for himself fighting for scraps at this point.

Of course you're fucked, you don't know what else to do other than sell gold.

Edit: and of course, incapable of thinking up a way.
 
@bottletorch: you got 2 opinions:

1) teach us what you mean with "flipping" and why it is that interesting compared to goldselling. then you got the "whow, this is a smart guy" feedback
2) continue with unmeaning postings and zero content, waisting your and our time ;)
