Question : According to that article, you'd need to have billions to generate the bug ? Am I reading it wrong ?
Yeah, that is right.

Shee-it. Some people have way too much time on their hands. I would imagine that this bug, coupled with Gold Farmers, would cause much hilarity.

Yea, there were some screenshots floating around of people with trillions and trillions of gold. I think the most I ever had at one time was about 30 million because I got a really nice Immortal Kings chest piece that I sold.
I guess I have a few hundred million worth of gear between all my characters of mostly found gear. My problem is I have a 60 of each class now, so I feel compelled to keep all the good gear I get instead of selling it to really deck out one of them.

Every hour the game remains up with the auction house down and people running around with that much money probably doubles the customer service headache they're going to have when they roll things back (which is the unfortunate reality of what needs to be done here). Frankly, they're proper fucked.

The good post patch. Increased monster density was good. The changes made to mobs and skills seemed to make Act 2 a bit easier in Inferno. I had a decent (I think) set wand drop during my half hour of play.

LOL AH down till at least tomorrow. Still claiming no rollback. These guys are idiots. They should have just took the entire game off on patch day. Hell most people would have bought it as the usual patch day problems. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8770118014

I haven't played a lick since this happened because I expect a rollback at some point. They can't believe this will work, unless they are planning on taking out the goldspammer trash with the rest of the bans.

It makes more sense if you could have seen what I typed before that. Normally I just press the BACK button but I was feeling playful yesterday.

It's somewhat of a shame because aside from this utter disaster the patch is pretty solid. I even joined a random game of strangers and had fun - one of the key things that made Diablo 2 a lot of fun for me.

Update: > 5/10/13 3:25 p.m. PDT: We've made substantial progress with our audit, but the process is not yet complete. We don't yet have a specific ETA as to when the Auction Houses will be available, but we wanted to at least touch base with the community and let you all know that we're still working hard to address the effects of the gold dupe. We'll be providing another status update by 7:00 p.m. PDT, as well, so be sure to stay tuned to this thread. Thank you! I fail to see how keeping the AH offline for a 3 days at the minimum was a better idea than a rollback. I think at this point, they wish they could just do a rollback, but they are in too deep.

It's baaaaaack. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/8796520380He's gives a mostly honest answer. I say mostly honest, because I don't believe a second the reason they didn't roll back the servers is related to pissing off players who made progressions. The overwhelming majority of people are in favor of a rollback rather than recapturing what he said was 85% of the gold in play. Even that's true, 15% of literally trillions of unrecaptured gold is still a massive increase. I believe they collected millions in RMAH fees related to this bug, and they have no way of rolling back that information, nor do they want to spend the man hours issuing credits to all the accounts. They didn't roll it back because they want to keep the money. Now they are claiming they will donate the cash from the suspended accounts to Children's Miracle network. I just want to know about the rest of the activity that day.

It's not like anyone could have predicted this.

I hope the RMAH was worth it. I hope the 'always online' was worth it. I hope all the bad will generated was worth it. I hope the poor itemization was worth it.
I hope all of Blizzard's poor design and implementation was worth it to generate profits for them.

They made over a billion in net income in a single year. I can assure you it was worth it to them.

Well, taking the long view, all customers of everyone are on the way out.
Also, heat death of the universe.

I was kind of wondering about that too. And (let me know if this is selective memory talking) has Schild ever gotten this excited about a game and not ended up horribly disappointed?
