Does anyone laugh or find it amusing at how much people charge for items on the AH? I saw an item listed this morning for 2 billion gold. Really? Most of the time I see them in the millions too. Do people even have this kind of money? I just hit 1 million gold last night and that was because I have been as frugal as can be.
I can't wait to see what some of these idiots charge for items when the Real Currency AH comes out.

I try and sell stuff in the AH but most of it never sells, or I have to lower the price. It's frustrating because I always look to see what the items are selling for to. I am always reading people's posts about how they make 1 million or more everyday in the AH.
My barb is slow during runs, but I keep reading the same thing in the forums... "500k is easy!! I make that in 1 hour doing runs!!!" I just don't know how it's possible.

Yeah I was doing act 1 runs on my Barb on inferno to try and get gear to sell. I am like you and was comparing items in the AH to the ones I have then listing them. My items would never sell and I would have to lower the price too and because you can't cancel an auction once it's been listed after the 5 minute cancel period... people would undercut me and theirs would sell before mine.
At this point I basically just severely under price my items just so I can get rid of them. The most I have ever sold an item for was 60k. People who make 500k easy in an hour doing runs are either lucky as hell on drops or are lying!
Last night I got a legendary wizard hat! HOLY CRAP I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE PEOPLE OVER PAY SO MUCH BECAUSE THE ITEMS NAMES ARE GOLDEN! However, even though it was a Wizard only item, it had str and dex on it! What a piece of crap! So instead of it selling for 150k+ like the others were... I could barely sell it for 15k. Even then I was surprised anyone bought it lol. The stat allocating on class specific items makes me want to punch walls sometimes.
Yeah I wasn't aware of the authenticator because I didn't play WoW. Now I know. My character and level is all there and correct, just literally every item I had is gone, except what was in the auction house.
Writes scripts for his own bots, and manages the accounts to run them
Each account can be on America and EU at the same time, doubling each accounts effectiveness
Approx. 300k gold for each account per hour
Gold prices: $12 US for 1 million, gold prices dropped by half in one day and continue to drop
Inflation is going to start getting outrageous if Blizzard does nothing to curb him and his kind
Blizzard needs to raise money sink prices to compensate
Approx. 10,000 accounts currently in use farming gold worldwide (this produces 72 BILLION gold per day if each account makes 300k per hour running with 100% uptime)
Bots run 24h a day
Accounts are never banned, Warden cannot see the bots and likely will not for 3-4 months he figures
People (farmers) are saving up tons and tons of gold for the day RMAH comes in ("people will sells billions of gold, undercutting, especially the Chinese")
If the farmer can't make enough money to live off of, then the game has failed in his eyes, because then the game has been ruined for everyone because of inflation
Saving money for RMAH with a few others, selling some gold on grey market for little bits of money
Approx. $6000 gold USD investment for the accounts
Some farmers, but not him and his guys, use hacked and phished accounts ("very illegal")
"mostly hacking and carding" keep your PAYPAL AND EMAIL SAFE WITH DIFFERENT PASSWORDS FROM ANYTHING
bug in Blizzard store for EU (not specific on details)
accounts are bought with stolen credit card #'s often (he only buys fresh CD keys however, legitimately)
account hacking on Blizzard forum that was big issue a week or so ago - your computers are not being hacked, they hack FANSITES AND TEST ALL EMAIL AND PASSWORD COMBOS IN GAME (keep your D3 pass different than anything) - process is called 'comboing' - programs can create 'combo lists' with data that is hacked from other sites
10 million email/passwords compromised - only 1-10% may actually log in, but that is still a great number of accounts
targeted sites: Diablo fan websites, Blizzard-related sites such as MMO-Champ "it's easy"
forums are being compromised OVER AND OVER AGAIN - Paypal, banks, Facebook accounts may be in risk because of this behavior, people with combo lists (see above) will attempt to gain access to a wide swath of sites
Cannot get anything out of the Blizzard website "they are bulletproof, logically"
what Blizz can do - "increase sinks and prevent botters" "fix farming spots and exploits"
Blizz is aware of all exploits and farming locations "it's all over Youtube!"
what if you get banned - "if we made profit, just buy new accounts and fix the problems [that got us banned]"
reiterates that there are idiots who will get caught by Warden, but at the moment he is undetectable with a new method that Warden cannot see at the moment
