Why do CM's only reply to basic threads & never reply to offline/trading threads?

I assume you mean the news article? If the comments got shut down then I can assume there were enough that were toxic or abusive in nature that the mods just stopped all of it. I honestly have not checked into the situation. They are normally fine with contrary opinions, as long as they are stated constructively and without attacking other posters or staff.

The thing is. I extremely dislike the notion, that if a bunch of people are toxic or abusive, that leads to an entire batch of feedback getting shut down and deleted.

Another question:

@MissCheetah-1661

You have no power or say in the major business decisions Blizz makes about D4 - such as online only or the trade model.

Also, let’s say online only is a major business descision. I can see why they don’t wanna allow for offline play. DRM.

inb4 the whole “prevent cheating” we all know by now is a big BS. Blizzard didn’t prevent cheating in D3. In fact, they exposed people to cheating and negative experiences, people that would otherwise be playing offline.

Also, the game being open world in a way diminishes the need for an offline version. I’ve been constantly playing games online for the last 12 years, so it doesn’t bother me as much.

However, what does in-game trading has to do with major business descisions?
Are you talking about issues with the IRS and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network?

The way I understand it, as long as Blizzard don’t bring back gold an auction houses, and allow an item to be traded for another items, there are no convertible virtual currencies. Therefore, Blizzard wont have to pay for the special license for convertible virtual currencies. Here are some posts for referrence:

Why are items selling for real money, bad enough to justify a lack of open trading?

It’s not what you have been led to believe. Forum and/or Player input, or the existence of bots, or any negative effects to the game or its players didn’t have anything to do with the closure of the Auction Houses. Let me tell you what really happened. Here are some conversations about the subject from February 2014, starting with the inception of Account Bound items: Q: So what is it exactly that BoA will achieve for Blizzard? The sole purpose of BoA is to eliminate the third-party rea…

You bring something I was vaguely aware of. Modran brought up the FinCEN’s regulations on convertible virtual currencies: Diablo 3 - Why the Auction House got Removed That’s all really interesting, but you could you provide the source, or between whom these conversation is taking place? Because the official version Blizzard provided to it’s players and clients was, that they are trying to make the game better. They never publically acknowledged or admited, that they’ve had issues with Fin…
