Real-money auction house...
Why do so many people have a huge problem with this? I haven't got the slightest desire to pay real money for an in-game item. In fact, finding all of your own gear is part of gameplay and a major hook for a Diablo-like game.
It's like an expensive restaurant nearby you don't like. Instead of bitching about it, just don't go there.
Constant online connection is a feature I'd rather not have, but I do have a steady connection and basically all of my games are already on Steam (& BF3 on Origin), and the system works fine. As long as they keep their servers up and hassle-free, it's just like playing a game offline. I don't even plan to play multiplayer, and Blizzard surely has enough resources to keep the game playable at practically all times.
