For those pissed at the "selling items" market, I don't blame them. I remember when I was playing D2 as my life and there were tons of sites on the net where people would put items up for sale and others would buy.
This way at least Blizzard is controlling it so people don't get scammed, even though they are making a profit. And really, this isn't primarily a PVP game, it's a game where you go out with 7 other guys and beat the campaign over and over, so if you get someone who is completely jacked then he can just take down the heavy enemies.
I'd still rather like it if they didn't have the marketplace, but it can't hurt the game too badly.
Also, you can still play offline, you just need to be connected to the internet. I understand why they are doing this, so you can't glitch like crazy like with D2. In D2 there were a ton of people glitching in Single Player that would duplicate items, change their stats, etc. I'm not sure why anyone would play offline though. This game should be played online only.
