If I have an hour a day to play from Devon's blog

While I get your sentiment. Its not currently balanced at all Dark And Darker Gold. It takes far longer to sell an item on the AH, then it does to run 

a dungeon and pull back 2-300 gold worth of trinkets. And the dungeon run is a lot more fun.

If I have an hour a day to play. I do NOT want to spend 30 minutes, trying to sell somethings for 500g, when I can do 3 dungeon 

runs in that same time, and pull back 600-900. Even if the numbers were reversed, and the item was selling for 600-900, and the 

dungeon run only pulled in 500... Id still prefer the dungeon run for that money, because the dungeon run is a lot more fun.

If I were a kid again, with no responsibilities, and had 10+ hours a day... then sure. Maybe I could justify the time spent while 

eating or doing something else. But its just not worth it currently.

"There is no incentive in this game for being playing nice in Dark and darker."

Why should there be? as you point out yourself...

"You're actively hurting yourself and your team as there will be more blue portals to fight over."

That is correct. and also there will be less loot. and less XP gained. and a greater chance of getting backstabbed/betrayed.

"It felt pretty bad killing new groups in normal lobbies."

....why? you don't need to feel bad lol. it's a video game cheap Dark And Darker Gold. you aren't hurting anyone. if a new player dies, they just re-join a 

new game in 30 seconds.
