before Diablo 3 game director Jay Wilson

Hedlund accepts PCGamer interview that the auction market mechanism to play the game itself have a negative impact on the process. Official want from auctions to get some benefits, players picked up treasures in the game and therefore the probability is relatively reduced. In fact, Hedlund also able to "understand" Bizzard practice, do not think this is kind of greedy performance. After all, for game developers, there are hard investment to Diablo 3 Gold, but also to generate returns.

Hedlund also said that in some areas (especially South Korea), Diablo 2 game box has sold more than 10 years on the shelf, which also represents the value of the game itself is already beyond the price of the disc itself. Remarks seem to imply the auction mechanism was started in fact excusable.
