With the closure of the RMAH what are people's plans?

[Funkays]

Just a question out of curiosity. At current I am farming hard to make gold to sell it off before the RMAH closes next week. It got me wondering, with the RMAH closing, those who made a decent amount of money off of it, what are you going to do now? Will you start playing a different game to make some extra cash? Or will you be stopping and just playing D3 for fun?

I've been looking around for a game with similar opportunities (making IRL $$ by playing a game) but currently coming up with nothing other than methods that require large botting setups and selling in game currencies to foreign websites (seems sketchy to me).

So what games will those that are moving on attempt to play?
Are there any other games (P2P or F2P) with in game auction houses that can be cashed out to paypal?
Or perhaps will you be going another route?

I've only heard about Entropia Universe, but I've never tried it.

Also if hard PvP doesn't scare you - you can sell PLEX in EVE Online.

I've played Entropia (for like 2 years in total) and I'd say it's really up to RNG how much money you make there. Also, botting on a competitive level will take aloooooot of grinding there. Most people I know have invested in the game to pay for the most simple gear/equipment. Since the game allows you to officially withdraw money, they have protected systems when it comes to the loot - very similar to how casinos work, meaning that an average player can't make any profit unless you are (very) lucky. You just simply put more money in the game than you can loot - you pay for the bullets, armor, repairs, teleports, healing, everything. Why play then you ask? Because every now or then, there are "winners" who actually just kill a random mob/mine up or craft something and it turns out to be VERY valuable and it gives people hope. Also you can invest ****tons of money and start gambling the AH or buy real estate - but for example if your island doesn't turn out to be popular, you will lose big time.

The games which don't allow you to convert ingame resources into real money (like WoW) don't need for such loot protection and so you can theoretically grind the hell out of the game and just "illegaly" sell your ingame resources.

I'm going to be playing the game. Enjoying thus far.
Removal of the AH has been really good for the game.
