I was just reading through the disaster that is the Blizzard forums and became intrigued at the debate raging in this thread: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5889158971

Basically, people that have recently purchased an item on the RMAH are now getting refunds from their credit cards because the IAS nerf has resulted in the item they purchased for real $$$ changing. They are claiming a bait and switch by Blizzard and it appears many banks are agreeing with them. My assumption is that the RMAH dies a sudden death in the short term, but the possible ramifications here are pretty big if you think about it. Has Blizzard opened itself up to a legal nightmare? Can they ban people from the game entirely even if they paid $60 for it?

Should be interested to watch.
