I don't know if that idea is actually positive, not to mention good.
The game could very well be free if they push that idea a little bit further.

You mean make Diablo 3 completely free to play? Quite honestly, that could work for them... but would ultimately be unappealing to hardcore crowd. As for the casual crowd of gamers, it can go either way. They could like it because it's free and use the cash shop... or think that because it's free it isn't worth their time.

That's already the case. Unless you're a hardcore fanboy/fangirl aswell.

For hardcore crowd, it's already unappealing from what I can see on the available forums.

I hate F2P games where people can "buy" their way through the game. Then I party up with some high levels and half of em are idiots who just happened to spend some cash to boost their way in there. But it depends because in games like League of Legends you can't really 'buy your way in' but it's still F2P with a cash shop.
But I don't think D3 needs to be F2P because their fanbase should be big enough already and if the game is any good they don't need to worry about getting more players imo. They will just buy it. But I heard that F2P games earn more money because you end up paying way more than 50 bucks in the end.

Technically, Diablo3 real cash house is most likely going to be a test on how to menage this shit for World of Warcraft.
I'm pretty sure of it. It will stop or at least lower gold buy/sell in the game, it's actually one of the reasons why there are so many F2P games now, you can buy anything you want for real money at set prices. The only problem I see with most of those F2p games is that they are poorly designed, like treating you like a total idiot and such. Basically, I avoid these games. And if I am playing them, I go totally solo on everything and just farm my gear.
I have no idea how they are going to menage that real money auction house to be honest. I just don't really see it happening with real money. They are probably going to go with Money Shop in the end.
