"When I was at Blizzard," said Wilson, "the reason for doing the auction house with real money was to ensure security. It wasn't for money. We weren't expecting to earn the amount of money we did. The most difficult thing with Diablo 2 was item duping and duping hacks along with all those gold dealers, all the other things."
As Wilson explained, Blizzard's plan to avoid this problem with Diablo 3 was to take control of the trading market. This is also the reason behind the game's move to require an in-continuous internet connection. Wilson says that the moment you make an offer to an offline client, hackers "got your information." So always on the internet and the auction house were Blizzard's unsuccessful attempts to manage the issues from Diablo 2.
In the short time following its release in 2012, Diablo 3's auction house became seen as one of the most flaws of the game, constantly slammed and mocked by the gaming community. However, removing it wasn't an easy task as it wasn't due to technical problems. Instead, its delayed removal for 2014 was due to auction houses were a promised feature of the game that was printed on all of its retail boxes, and there were legal issues with cutting it.
"The reason we didn't get rid of it as soon as we discovered the issue was legally, we didn't believe we could since it was advertised on box," explained Wilson. "So we actually had to wait a while to sort out all legal issues before we came to the conclusion that 'OK, we think it's worth it to try it, if we get one, but oh well.'"
Incredibly, when all had been said and done, Wilson affirms that the auction house didn't generate Blizzard enough money He also said that when it was worth more than 10 or 15 million dollars he'd have been "surprised." Even though it sounds like quite a bit in reality, an ex- Diablo 3 designer countered that World of Warcraft makes that amount of money every couple of hours or at least every few hours. Another dev on the panel laughed that, as usual there's a reason why you "always make lawyers accountable." That's right, people hated it and it didn't generate much money. The whole thing was a waste of time for everyone affected!
