The Psychology of the Diablo 3 Auction House
If you’re a serious RMAH user or plan on becoming one, then you may want to take a look at a new article on Gamasutra called The psychology of Diablo III loot. In the article the author looks at three factors that make up the RMAH experience and how Blizzard could tweak things to make the RMAH experience more useful and exciting, based on advanced understanding of human psychology.
