Wait What?...Stash-for-Cash..Micro Transactions(1)Category: GeneralFebruary-20-2015 9:41 AM PST (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Ok,First and for most I have no problem with Micro's in the least as long as they don't turn into a PTW situation.This game dose need a revenue stream of some sort to help keep it going with some sort of updated content.

My problem starts with the simple fact that we were told this:

"The game can’t physically keep up with it" T.Day

Taken from here :

http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/travis-day-interview-blizzcon-2014

Excerpt:

IncGamers: Well stash space…

Travis: Stash space comes up a lot. I’ve said myself, “I would totally pay to have more stash tabs.” But honestly… that’s when I’m in my player’s shoes. When I’m in my designer’s shoes, we talk about it differently. No matter how many tabs we give players; two more, five more, etc, they’re going to fill those and want more. So what we’ve been trying to figure out recently is how we can help you better manage your stash. How we can help you not need to save so many things.

So take something like crafting materials. Maybe we make them easier to store. maybe we find reasons for players to get rid of some extra stuff they’re keeping.
On top of that there are technical reasons. There are only so many… we call them “actors” but it’s about how many items are in our game and how many it’s storing in memory at any given time. If we do almost any more than we have now, the game can’t physically keep up with it.

Discussed again here in the forum :

Any one else see a problem with these statements and the just released info on Cash-for-Stash that is coming to an Asian server near you.

As we've mentioned, it makes for a much cleaner set of forums if we consolidate feedback on these topics. Please feel free to post your thoughts here.

Thanks!
