D3 Auction House

It looks like D3 will have a real money auction house, aimed for people with no time but money to buy things from other people for money.

Pros:
* Provides a legalized system of trade (instead of gold sellers)
* Win for people with no time (who can obtain epic gear, etc)
* Win for people with too much time (who can sell epic gear, etc)

Cons:
* People feel the value of "effort required to get epics" is lost
* Some people cannot participate

Since I mostly won't be playing D3, these points are lost on me.  However, I can see this model coming to Titan.  If that is so, I don't intend to buy epics from the AH... BUT... who knows.  In some cases, it may be more effective for me to pay a few bucks for 100 epic gems instead of farming them.  We shall see.
