Changes

As online characters can be stored on the console's hard drive there would be security implications in allowing items to be bought by other players. There is no way to validate the items are not duped or altered in some way and so the trading environment would quickly descend to what we see in Diablo 2. The economy would be undermined and duped or hacked items could also disappear leaving players out of pocket and Blizzard inundated with claw-back claims. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/no-diablo-3-console-rmah-xbox-version-possible No Auction House] - Josh Mosqueira, Blizzard Entertainment, 23/03/13</ref>
