That thread was deleted, but I think it deserves to be seen.

Bashiok:

Q u o t e:
Item drops are completely randomized. Poor finds one of the best items in the game. Poor becomes rich.

Whether it's p-skulls, SoJs, or El's and Ort's, this is the way of Diablo.


Please explain how it's a good idea to run this slot machine with real world money now. Thanks.

Now? Whether you participated or not, the Diablo II economy has been run by real world money for quite a while.

Similarly you're able to not participate in Diablo III and use the gold auction house, but don't think for a second people are not buying and selling power in Diablo II, if not every online game.

I'm going to lock this again, please move the conversation to a relevant thread. No need to keep making more.
